Research of anchialine cave „Vodena Jama“

Determination of spatial distributions of trace metal concentrations in the Krka River, and the parameters which influence this distribution.

This project concluded the first systematic research on spatial and temporal distribution of ecotoxic trace metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) in aquatic anchialine ecosystems

The main objective of the project is to perform hydrogeological investigations to define exact origin of water of the Kupa River.

Hypothesis is that the sources of Kupa and Rječina rivers (belonging to Black Sea and Adriatic Sea watersheds respectively) both originate from the same groundwater body situated at the boundary of the two watersheds under the mountain Risnjak. The two sources are at the distance of 22 km, at 313 and 385 meters above sea level, respectively.

InnovaMare project will bring cross-border collaboration between science and private sector on a higher level and will facilitate the involvement of SMEs in international networks.

The aim of the proposed bilateral project is to start a long term co-operation between two departments having similar scientific interests and results in the field of analysis and risk assessment of environmental heavy metal contamination, however, using different research approaches. Combining the techniques, which are, even separately, at the frontline of scientific applications, an integrated, highly precise and generally applicable method will be developed, validated and tested. Three approaches will be integrated including high scale hyperspectral air-borne imaginary of high resolution, X-ray fluorescent spectrometry for non-destructive in situ measurement with many sampling points to work out adequate and most reliable sampling strategy, and high tech laboratory techniques for geochemical analyses.

For the first time, spatial and temporal distributions of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn trace metals in seawater, sediment and biota of the Mljet National Park were investigated

The aim of the study was to compare for the first time environmental records (stable isotope ratios, metal concentrations and radionuclide activities) obtained from the recent tufa with those from ambient water where tufa precipitated for the first time.
