Members or research group are leading three national and three international projects, which are complementary and interconnected. E.g., bilateral Slovenian-French project focused on studies of Julian Alps, whereas the comparison of results of multi-proxy research from Ljubljansko barje and Lake Bohinj core is included in our project J7-6857. Project J1-8156 focused on methods, exchange of knowledge, and studies of increasing CO2 concentrations in littoral sea, due to climatic fluctuations of present-day and future environment. It is important that bilateral cooperation with Japan included studies of carbon isotopes (12C, 13C, 14C) to determine the source of soil CO2. 14C is an important parameter for dating and various sources of soil CO2. Projects 7OP Dronic and J7-6857 both use algae/diatom taxonomy and contribute towards method improvement and and knowledge transfer. Members of reasearch group are teaching at the University of Ljubljana, Primorska University, and Jožef Stefan international postgraduate school. Knowledge gained from this project is included in educational activities.
