Lučka Kajfež-Bogataj, a member of IPCC (intergovernmenta panel for climate change) was to in 2007 together with AL Gore awarded by the Nobel prize for peace. The achievement was presented to internatioal audience and at home by media and several lectures. Rewarding of the groupe by the Peace Nobel Prize was very important in abatements of climate change, and Slovenia as a leading country in 2008 payed much attention to these activities.
E.02 International awards
From 7th to 9th of Nov., we organised in Bled an international conference »Multifunctional land use in the rural-urban perspective«. Senior researchers as well as their younger colleagues contributed to discussion on fragile relationships between cities and rural surroundings and their interrelationships. One of the biggest research European project in 6.FP (PLUREL) which deals with the mentioned theme.Results of the conference and of the project are important for the experts on different levels who deal with spatial planning of a rural area.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 5246329The report deals with critical loads and exceedances of air born nitrogen and sulphur componds in slovenian forests by use of dynamic modelling. This first anlysis was done in the framework of activities caried out within CLRTAP convention (activities of EMEP and ICP WGE programmes running in Slovenia) and with the help of CLRTAP ICP- Mapping & Modelling CCE center in Netherlands.The impact of sulphur and nitrogen compounds on Slovenian forests was assessed, target loads and their excedences were calculated by dynamic modelling according to different scenaria.
F.15 Development of a new information system/databases
COBISS.SI-ID: 2306470The patent resolves the problems of cleaning procedure of soils and sediments polluted by dangerous metals or radionuclides. With ligands in washing solution metals and radionuclides are extracted as water suluble complexes.Complexes and organic pollutants in washing sollution are degraded with advanced oxidation, first of all with combination of ozone and UV rays. After the cleaning procedure soils or sediments are returned to the original place or put aside. The procedure enables little use of water, unharmful emmissions to the environment and does not change the soil structure.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 5140089Dominik Vodnik, associated professor for plant physilogy has lectures for two years the chosen topics from plant physiology and ecophysiology within the framework of "Maste Course in Botany" at Karl-Franz University of Graz, Austria
