As part of my PhD thesis, I am studying volcaniclastic rocks in\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/span><\/span>Slovenia. The research of volcanoclastic rocks is fundamental geological research, as it includes various geological approaches that help us to understand geological processes in the past, paleoenvironmental and paleogeographical changes, which enables the reconstruction of past geological events. Knowledge of volcanoclastic rocks properties is the basis for all further research in the fields of hydrogeology, geothermal energy, construction (as a building material and in the production of concrete), in decorative use and also in agriculture. As part of my doctoral thesis, I will analyse the occurrence of volcanoclastic rocks in\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/span><\/span>the Slovenian part of the Pannonian Basin System and determine their properties. The research will include petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical analyses, to perform the petrological properties, mineral composition and geochemical characteristics of the investigated rocks. Depending on the type and amount of minerals in the samples, radiometric dating of the rocks will also be performed using the K\u2013Ar, Ar\u2013Ar, U\u2013Pb or Rb\u2013Sr method. The results of the analyses will be used to determine the age and the origin of the magma for the formation of tuffs. Furthermore, correlations with the geodynamic processes that enabled the volcanic activity, will be highlighted. The aim of the doctoral thesis is to determine the similarities between the studied volcanoclastic rocks from the Paleogene and Neogene and the similarities with the volcanoclastic rocks that occur in the vicinity of Slovenia (Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Italy), as well as the connection with the original volcanic activity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
