The second M.Sc. thesis of the project / 5.01.2020

In January 2020, the experimental work for the second master thesis began with the isotopic analyses of water, tufa and bedrock samples from Krka – Zrmanja river system.

In the third phase of the project – Case Studies – the detailed isotope analyses of samples collected in the field trip to the Krka National Park will be performed. A part of work will be conducted by Mr. Qasim Jamil, M. Sc. student of the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School. Based on the results of elemental and mineralogical analyses performed at the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute, he will prepare and analyse the samples of river sediments and investigate the partitioning of Mg and Sr between the river water and the river carbonate in Mediterranean climate. The thesis is expected to be completed until the end of the year.
