The results indicate that highly elevated concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were detected in the paddy soil sample in the vicinity of Zletovo mine and Zletovska river in the western part of Kočani Field, which drains the untreated acid mine waters and mine wastes from the active Zletovo mine. The degree of contamination based on index of geoaccumulation (Igeo) from strong to weak in the paddy soils samples is Pb ) As ) Cd ) Zn ) Cu. The mobility potential of heavy metals in all paddy soil samples increases in the order As ( Cu ( Pb ( Zn ( Cd.

This research focuses on the heavy metal contamination of the paddy soils and rice from Kočani Field (eastern Macedonia) resulting from irrigation by riverine water impacted by past and present base-metal mining activities and acid mine drainage. Very high concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were found in the paddy soils (47.6, 6.4, 99, 983 and 1245 µg g-1) and the rice (0.53, 0.31, 5.8, 0.5 and 67 µg g-1) in the western part of Kočani Field, close to the Zletovska River, which drains the mining facilities of the Pb-Zn mine in Zletovo.

Until recently, it was considered that the Upper Triassic succession of the Slovenian Basin is presented only by the Bača Dolomite. Detailed sedimentological study of basinal succisions on Mt. Kobla (eastern Bohinj Range) revealed that part of the limestone succession, that was previously dated as Jurassic, is actually still Upper Trias in age. The research of these limestones contributes significantlly to the understanding of the sedimentary evolution of NW Slovenia.

The Article brings unexpected results of detailed geological mapping of the Triglav Lakes Valley that was maintaind during Ph.D. thesis studies of first author. Previously, the valley was considered as typical glaciers shapped valley but detailed mapping revealed that the relief was shaped mainly neotectonic activity. For the explanation of steps-like geomorphology of the valley we proposed the `horse-tail` tectonic model.

Paper comprises the analyses of flow dimensions in dolomites, which have been for the first time analyzed and presented systematically for any fractured aquifers. In addition, these dimensions have been correlated with geochemical, structural and lithological properties of rocks, which also represents a novel approach. Results show some correlations of these dimensions with such properties and also the differences among the different aquifers.
