The Head of the Department:
Assoc. Prof. Uroš Barudžija, PhD
Scientific interests of Department’s staff are closely connected to mineral raw materials, mineralogy, petrology of magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, sedimentology, geochemistry and biogeochemistry, technical petrography, geoarchaeology, archaeometry and environmental protection. Scientific activities in the academic year 2021/2022 were performed in the frame of the Croatian Science Foundation projects: (I) WIANLab - „Western Istrian Anticline as an ideal natural laboratory for the study of the regional unconformities in carbonate rocks”; (II) BREEMECCO – “Dinaridic foreland basin between two thermal optima: possible scenario for Northern Adriatic”; (III) GOST – "Revealing Middle Triassic Paleotethyan geodynamics recorded in the volcano-sedimentary successions of NW Croatia"; (IV) GEODEP – "Geological characterization of the eastern part of the Drava depression subsurface intended for the evaluation of energy potentials"; (V) TransFER – “Iron production along the Drava River in the Roman period and the Middle Ages: Creation and transfer of knowledge, technologies and goods”. Members of the Department participated also in the projects funded by the European Institute for Technology and Innovations (EIT): (1) rESEErve – “Mineral potential of the ESEE region”; (2) EMERALDinho – “Stimulating Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Resources Engineering”; (3) iTARG3T – “Innovative targeting & processing of W-Sn-Ta-Li ores: towards EU's self-supply”; (4) MOBI-US – “Structured mobilities for ESEE raw materials master programs”; (5) TIMREX – „T-Shaped Master Programme for Innovative Mineral Resource Exploration“; (6) DIMESEE-2 – „Dubrovnik International ESEE Mining School“; (7) ENGIE – „Encouraging Girls to Study Geosciences and Engineering“; (8) Invest RM – „Multifactor model for investments in the raw material sector“; (9) MineHeritage – „Historical Mining – tracing and learning from ancient materials and mining technology“; (10) „EIT RawMaterials Hub - RCA Regional Center Adria“; (11) RECO2MAG – „Grain boundaries engineered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets“; (12) „RIS Education & Entrepreneurship“; (13) „RIS Internship programme: broadening University-Business Cooperation“; (14) TrainESEEv.2 – „Training trainers in East and Souteastern Europe“. Research was also financed by four financial supports provided by the University of Zagreb (projects „Geological evolution of rock sin Croatia“; „Mineralogical, petrological and geochemical characteristics of magmatic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks and geological evolution of rock sin Croatia“; „Matematical research in geology V“; „Matematical research in geology VI“; „The influence of terrigenous material on mineralogical and geochemical properties of recent sediments of Mljet lakes“). Activity resulted in the participation of the Department’s staff at numerous domestic and international scientific meetings and publishing 25 scientific articles listed in Scopus and WoSCC (SCI-EXP and ESCI citation index). Members of the Department are active in the editorial boards of international and domestic scientific journals and closely cooperate with the scientists from other institutions, such as: Croatian Geological Survey, Faculty of Science, Institue of Archaeology, The Ruđer Bošković Institute, The Jožef Stefan Institute from Ljubljana, University for Natural Resources and Life Sciences from Vienna, and others. An integral part of the Department are as well: LaGeMa – Laboratory for the Analysis of Geological Materials; and Geoscientific Collection of Minerals, Rocks and Ores. The LaGeMa Laboratory is used in teaching, scientific work and in collaboration with industry to analyze samples of soil, sediments, rocks, ore, water and other materials. The laboratory offers: mineralogical-petrographic analyzes of rocks, chemical, mineral and granulometric analyzes of different types of geological materials samples, chemical analysis of water, detailed analysis of clay minerals and micromorphological soil analysis. Six Bsc and nine MS theses were made in LaGeMa in the academic year 2021/2022. The Department cooperated with the following institutions and organizations: Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Textile Technology (all from the University of Zagreb); Universtity of Split-Faculty of Civil Engineering, Northern Velebit National Park, Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, Zagreb Archdiocese, Samoborka, JUB, Foretić and Sons, Marija Reberski - independent restorer/conservator, Architecture and Geodesy, Cemtra GmbH, CSS GmbH, IVICOM, TPA, Green Infrastructure GmbH, Nexe. The Geoscientific Collection contains valuable collections of minerals, rocks and ores and often it opens the doors for kindergarden children, as well as to primary- and high school- students, coming from the various parts of Croatia.
