In the year 2005, 10th International Congress on Sediment/Water Interaction (ICWSI) took place in Bled, Slovenia. The main topic was the study of limnic and marine environments. Our plenary invited lecture on sediment and pore waters of the Lake Bled dealed with eutrophication and human pollution of the water and sediment which is reflected in higher abundance of Zn, Pb, Cu, V, Cr and organic N and P. The results are directly applicable in recovery of the lake water, and can be compared with similar lake environments in the Alpine realm.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1330005Development concepts of modern societies all over the world are based on principles of sustainable development that also include minerals. Since they are mostly non-renewable their contribution to sustainable future is specific. In book chapter we demonstrated strong link between sustainability and minerals, presented elements for sustainable management for aggregates including creation and use of sustainability indicators. Basic conditions of sustainable minerals management are democratic process and sustainability principles based on social and environmental acceptability.
F.16 Improvements to an existing information system/databases
COBISS.SI-ID: 11902292The Oligocene Trbovlje coal-seam profile was differentiated into four segments on the basis of inorganic geochemical, biomarker, petrographic, palynological and stable carbon isotopes analyses. The upper sapropelic facies was recognized as the most outstandingly reducing environment, while the lower part of the seam as the most markedly Gymnosperm prevailing one. The span of ?13C values (-24,0 and – 28,1 ‰) was attributed to different shares of plant assemblages and to biochemical processes of the early coalification stage.
F.02 Acquisition of new scientific knowledge
COBISS.SI-ID: 1013845Principles of sustainable development, existing mineral policy and management of non-renewable resources, together with concurrent analysis of Slovenian mining sector were solid basis for the creation “National programme of mineral resource management” (NPMRM) and accompanying indicators. Indicators are presenting current state as well as the effects of actions taken due the programme. Approach to NPMRM was worked out in detail by (a) presenting the process of creation of the NPMRM and indicators of sustainability, and (2) example of NPMRM and sustainable aggregate supply indicator.
F.26 Improvements to existing organisational structure and managerial solutions
COBISS.SI-ID: 216963584By highway construction between Črni Kal and Koper, and field studies in the surrounding area, new geological data on the development of the Karst margins in NW Adria microplate has been obtained. The data has been used to elaborate a new model of NE Dinaride structure. The relationship between Istria and Outer Dinarides has been re-evaluated. Istrian-Friulian subduction belt started to form in Miocene and is still active today, what can be prooved by displacement measurements by GPS method. The studies are directly applicable in the research of drinking water supply in Kras and Istria.
