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 effluents and acid mine drainage. The area around the Zletovska River is found and considered as the most anthropogenically impacted part of Kočani Field.

Salt crystallisation is a principal deterioration factor of many stone monuments. In this study, samples of weathering products of two baroque monuments in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the limestone used in their construction were investigated in order to constrain the main mineral phases produced during the weathering process. The combination of micro-Raman and X-ray powder diffraction has been successfully applied to identify micron-size minor components in the limestone as well as the weathering product phases (gypsum, hexahydrite, pentahydrite, and niter).

Lead and zinc ore deposits within the Mežica ore field, Northern Slovenia, belong to the Mississippi Valley Type of ore deposits. On an area of 64km2 there are more than 350 ore bodies and numerous ore occurrences mostly within Middle Triassic platform limestones and dolostones. On the base of detailed stable isotope analyses of sulphur it is obvious a heterogeneous source of H2S for the ore minerals formation and their precipitation in thermodynamic disequilibrium.

The Prehodavci Formation is up to 15 m thick, consists of Rosso Ammonitico type limestone and is subdivided into three members. The limestone with Fe–Mn nodules, passing into light-grey, faintly nodular Lower Member consists of a condensed red, well-bedded bioclastic limestone. The Middle Member occurs discontinuously and consists of thinbedded micritic limestone. The Upper Member unconformably overlies the Lower or Middle Members. It is represented by red nodular limestone, and by red-marly limestone with abundant Saccocoma sp.

We used GPS to measure rates of active tectonic deformation in the Adria- Eurasia collision zone. We quantified the kinematics of the Adria microplate, and have for the first time used GPS data from the outcrops of Adria in Istria penninsula. We determined the direction and rates of active tectonic motions in the territory of Slovenia, and estimated slip rates on major regional faults
