Early career research 2.0. - COLLECTION OF CAVE STALAGMITE PROXIES FOR PALAEOCLIMATE AND PALAEOENVIRONMENT

The project deals with stalagmite proxies to improve palaeoclimatic curve in Slovenia.

The purpose of the project is to examine the importance of long-term environmental changes on the basis of palaeoenvironmental indicators to provide detailed palaeoenvironmental data for accurate climate change assessments; modern urban society must adapt to this in order to achieve a better quality of life. In addition to the Earth's surface, we also focus into the Earth’s interior – caves, especially the stalagmites. Analysing the palaeoclimatic proxies of stalagmites will help updating the palaeoclimatic curve for the Slovenian territory and increase the accuracy in predicting climate change scenarios.
