Geology, hydrogeology and geothermy of NE Slovenia and N Croatia

The Slovenian Geological Congress offers our leading geologists a celebration of their research achievements in the last four years. It is a great opportunity to exchange experience internationally also, and this bilaterally organized field trip offers just that, an opportunity for many international informal contacts. The field trip is organized as a collaboration of many institutions: the Slovenian Geological Society, the Geological Survey of Slovenia, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, the Slovenian Committee of the International Association of Hydrogeologists, the Croatian Geological Society and the Croatian Geological Survey. It also has the honnor to form a part of the annual assembly of the Commission on Mineral and Thermal Water of IAH of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (CMTW-IAH). Most of the field trip is perfomed in the west part of the extensive Pannonian basin where in the past hydrocarbon industry used to play an important role. Nowadays, many of these sites are depleted, and thermal and mineral water production is economically and turistically important in both countries, Slovenia and Croatia
