Final report on the results of 7FP DRONIC project (http://dronicproject.com/). The coordinator for Slovenia is A. Krivograd Klemenčič. In the frame of the DRONIC a new, innovative cyanobacteria monitoring and treatment robotic system, that can localize and treat hotpots of cyanobacteria blooms in lakes, reservoirs, canals and rivers used for drinking water production is developed. With the DRONIC technology, blooms of cyanobacteria can be treated locally at the place where the blooms are present. Because of the direct and localized treatment, the system is environmentally friendly, with a minimal impact on the ecology of the lake. With the local use of high power ultrasound, also the cyanobacterial by-products like toxins can be neutralized.
D.01 Chairing over/coordinating (international and national) projects
COBISS.SI-ID: 7325793The talk focused on presenting the results of archaeozoological research on prehistoric pile-dwelling sites from Ljubljansko barje in the past decades. The list of discussed topics included the role of animal keeping vs. hunting/fishing in various phases, the importance of secondary products of husbandry, within- and between-sites differences in species composition and body part representation of the accumulated taphocoenoses, social stratification and functional differentiation of the population, the palaeoenvironement etc. The final part was dedicated to the comparison of the local situation with the picture emerging from archaeozoological research of other pile-dwelling sites around the Alps.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 38980141'Long-term environmental changes' conferences, which are organised in Ljubljana by ZRC SAZU (Institute of Arcahaeology), are a meeting point for researchers of natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, who study long-term changes of the environment. 11 lecturers from 10 research institutions attended the last conference (12.5.2015). The results of palynological research of sedimentary cores from Lakes Bled and Bohinj were also presented at the conference. These results are part of a much wider, multidisciplinary international research aiming to investigate the environment in the last 12.000 years (climatic fluctuations, floods, earthquakes) and human impact on the vegetation (farming, metallurgy, soil erosion) in the last 6800 years.
