From urban geodiversity to geoheritage: The case of Ljubljana (Slovenia)

The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influenced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Ljubljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings

The geochemistry of ice in the southeastern Alps, Slovenia

The Triglav Glacier in the Julian Alps and the Skuta Glacier in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps are among the south-easternmost glaciers in the Alps. Historical data show that ice masses are undergoing mass loss as the overall climate warms. Glacier ice and cave ice contain a wealth of paleoclimatic information, and rapid sampling is needed if any such information is to be saved before the ice is completely melted. We present the first comprehensive geochemical and water isotope data from glacier ice, meltwater, spring water, and cave ice in the Mount Triglav area and glacier ice from the Skuta Glacier. The samples primarily reflect the initial precipitation signal that has been greatly modified by the input of local CaCO3-rich dust with lesser amounts of marine aerosol and vegetation debris

Holocenska podnebna spremenljivost v Sloveniji: pregled

The Slovenian climate has undergone significant fluctuations, and an understanding of the past climate is necessary to improve models and recognise long-term patterns. The cryosphere environment, such as ice core samples, provides valuable palaeoclimate data. Palynology and dendroclimatology are also effective ways to study long-term changes in vegetation and reconstruct past climates using pollen and tree proxies. Sediment cores from various locations in Slovenia have been studied to understand past environmental changes. Borehole temperature profiles as well as historical records were also used to reconstruct past climate conditions. Studies have shown specific periods when climatic changes likely played a major role, but a complete timeline of the Slovenian climate throughout the Holocene has not yet been fully developed.Podnebje v Sloveniji je doživljalo velika nihanja in razumevanje preteklega podnebja je nujno za izboljšanje modelov in prepoznavanje dolgoročnih vzorcev. Kriosferno okolje, kot so vzorci ledenih jeder, zagotavlja dragocene paleopodnebne podatke. Tudi palinologija in dendroklimatologija sta učinkovita načina za preučevanje dolgoročnih sprememb rastja in rekonstrukcijo preteklega podnebja z uporabo analiz cvetnega prahu in drevesnih branik. Sedimentna jedra z različnih lokacij v Sloveniji so bila preučena za razumevanje preteklih okoljskih sprememb. Za rekonstrukcijo preteklih podnebnih razmer so bili uporabljeni tudi temperature v vrtinah in zgodovinski viri. Študije so pokazale določena obdobja, v katerih so podnebne spremembe najverjetneje imele pomembno vlogo, vendar celotna časovnica sprememb slovenskega podnebja v holocenu še ni popolnoma izdelana
