Karst Research Institute Company Information

General information

Skoraj polovica Slovenije je kraške in več kot polovica voda, s katerimi se oskrbujemo, je iz kraških vodonosnikov. Naš Kras je dal ime za to svojevrstno pokrajino na karbonatnih kamninah tudi v tuje jezike in na njem se je začelo razvijati krasoslovje. Dolgotrajno in uspešno razvijanje krasoslovja na temeljih izjemnih naravnih danosti in tradicije je Inštitut uveljavilo kot eno pomembnih mednarodnih krasoslovnih središč.
Celovito krasoslovje zahteva poglabljanje znanja o nastanku in razvoju krasa, njegovem površju in jamah, ki ga votlijo, ter o vodah, ki se pretakajo skozenj in ga oblikujejo, kot tudi o zgodovini krasoslovja.
Smiselno načrtovana skupina raziskovalcev, ki jo sestavljajo geografi, geologi, biologa, mikrobiolog, kemičarka in fizik, pokriva najbolj pomembna področja krasoslovja. Uspešno raziskovanje pa je pogojeno tudi z raznovrstnostjo pristopov od temeljnega terenskega dela in poskusov na terenu, različnih laboratorijskih proučevanj do računskih in računalniških modelov zakrasevanja in pretakanja voda skozi vodonosnike. Različni izsledki se povezujejo v celoto, kar je inštitutska prednost tudi v mednarodnih razmerah.
Temeljne raziskave so pogoj za varovanje občutljive pokrajine in za smiselno načrtovanje življenja v njej, bodisi pri načrtovanju oskrbe s pitno vodo bodisi pri načrtovanju in izvajanju različnih posegov v kras.
Trdna vpetost v mednarodne tokove krasoslovja je temelj za razvijanje dobrega, tudi vodilnega krasoslovja in za sloves Slovenije kot kraške in krasoslovne dežele.
Pod okriljem Inštituta izhaja tudi mednarodno priznani Krasoslovni zbornik (Acta carsologica).
V zgradbi Inštituta so študijska knjižnica, kemijski in geološki laboratorij ter oprema za terensko raziskovanje in učilnica.
Na inštitutu je tudi sedež Podiplomskega študijskega programa Krasoslovje, ki deluje v okviru Univerze v Novi Gorici.

Karst is a landmark of Slovenia. Almost half of the country is karstic with over 10000 caves registered. More than half of the population is supplied by karst waters. An international term KARST is derived from the name of Slovenian region Kras, an area also regarded as the cradle of scientific discipline - karstology.
Karstology has become a complex multidisciplinary science, covering wide range of earth sciences related to karst. Long tradition of excellent research and unique position in the center of classical karst have established the Institute as one of the most recognized karstological centers in the world. Karst is in the focus of our research. We study its hydrology, geology, morphology, ecology, microbiology and speleology as well as history of our own science. Institute's researchers come from various backgrounds including geology, geography, physics, chemistry, biology and microbiology, thus enabling a multidisciplinary approach. Our research includes field studies, laboratory investigations and numerical modeling. We conduct basic studies and applied studies.
Institute hosts a karstological library, one of the most complete of its kind, laboratory specialized in water chemistry, geological laboratory and a lecture room with modern presentation equipment.
Institute's researchers are enrolled as lecturers at the Postgraduate study of karstology at University of Nova Gorica.
