Landslides are very locally related problems, the 15- years average landslide damage represents 7.6 % of total damages due to disasters in Slovenia. In the past 15 years more than 10 people have been killed in landslide events. Yet, consequences (and the loss of lives) could be mitigated, in some cases even prevented with a reliable near real-time landslide hazard forecast system. Consequentially a project MASPREM has been set up by the Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for civil protection and disaster relief and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic Slovenia to tackle the minimisation of the landslide hazard potential with a goal to develop a near real time online publicly available regional landslide forecasting system. Developed system that continuously draw information is composed from three data/model pillars: the precipitation forecast model, the landslide susceptibility model and the rainfall triggering values for landslide occurrence, yet due to the testing phase of hazard model prediction the results need to be treated with care and within their reliability.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2281301We elaborated the Part 1 of catalog of active and potentially active faults in Slovenia that contains faults in western and central Slovenia. Each fault was seismotectonically parametrized and its seismogenic potential was estimated. This work is synthesis of extensive critical review of available data and was enabled by numerous past investigations performed also by members of our program group. Results of this work are map and digital database of active and potentially active faults, their seismotectonic parametrization and explanatory report. Results will be directly used by authorized Slovenian agency as an input to new map of earthquake hazard in Slovenia that will impact the regulation of earthquake resistant civil engineering, spatial planning and earthquake hazard awareness.

The hydrogeological map is one of the main applicative upgrades of the basic geological map and one of the most widely used geological thematic maps. It is used as the basis in numerous segments of ground water management and is an important background for short-term and long-term, strategic planning. Good knowledge of the hydrogeological structure is the first criterion for assessing the state of national groundwater resources, their protection and sustainable management. Groundwater management of individual aquifer systems or even catchments requires detailed hydrogeological spatial and field data, collected and processed at 1 : 25 000 scale and organized into an information system of a hydrogeological map. Such a system design enables real-time input and rapid overview of content and preparation of thematic hydrogeologic maps in GIS environment, using international standards and taking into account European directives on spatial information infrastructure in EU (INSPIRE). Based on these guidelines in 2014 a pilot area was selected at the Iška alluvial fan on the southern margin of the Ljubljana Moor. Members of the program group prepared geological bases in this project, with which the Geological Survey of Slovenia with the support by the Ministry of Environment and the Slovenian Environmental Agency provided the methodological guidelines for systematic preparation of hydrogeological contents.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2358613Geological map of Kras 1: 15,000 map represents the map of classical Karst and has been elaborated on the basis of the previous geologic maps of the area (Jurkovšek et al. , 1996; Jurkovšek 2008 , 2010). This synoptic map includes all the major lithostratigraphic units and basic structural-tectonic elements which are necessary for general use.

Documentary movie about the project RoofOfRock - Limestone as the common denominator of natural and cultural heritage along the karstifid part of the adriatic coast. The RoofOfRock project aims to propose a use of environmentally compatible platy limestone, to encourage its promotion and protection and to develop useful guidelines for its sustainable use as a natural and cultural heritage. Members of the PG are leading this project, fundedunder the Adriatic IPA CBC Programme involving 10 partners from 4 countries.
