As Department of Geosciences (PP12), we will contribute with our experience on the petrography of carbonate rocks, and on the design of popular science products related to sedimentary geology. More specifically, a set of images will be prepared by the use of high-resolution cameras linked to optical microscopes, which will become available for popular science products promotig the geoheritage of the Karst Geopark.

The use of these images will be demonstrated in a temporary exposition and in a open-air multimedia event.

Furthermore, the Department will prepare a dossier for the nomination of some dimension stones of the classical Karst (Aurisina Stone, but potentially also Lipica and Repen stones) as IUGS Global Heritage Stone Resources.

The Kras - Carso II project is co-financed by the European Union within the framework of the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia Programme.
