Summary: The researches will be carried out primarily within the regions of Dinarides, in NW Croatia and in central part of Pannonian basin. The most consideration will be given to comprehension of subsurface geological setting. In comparison with surface data the three-D structural models will be worked out in detail. Through this procedure the efforts will be made to discover the development of structures in neotectonic period and movement mechanism as well. The structural details from surface to different depth levels will be emphasized together with active periods especially the most recent ones. This include seismotectonic parameters as well as definition of earthquake occurrence zones. The results of field work, cabinet and laboratory investigations will be presented on various types of maps, profiles and correlation reviews.

Keywords: surface and subsurface geological structures, neotectonic and seismotectonic relations, mechanism of tectonic movements

Research goals: The collecting of new data and structural-neotectonic interpretation of previously taken geophysical explorations, geological mapping, profiles and bore holes. The reconstruction of geological structures in depth and three-D arrangement of rock masses of different density. Determination of markers of neotectonic movements, classification of structural units, structures and faults regarding their role within the regional structural fabric, neotectonic activity and type of tectonic movements as well. The correlation of surface and subsurface geological setting and determination of neotectonic active zones, characteristics of particular phases of geological evolution and possible tectonic movements in three-D. The contribution to a more complete knowledge of surface and particularly subsurface geological setting in light of fundamental scientific sense is to be expected. For the regions of Croatia the paleostructural, facies and sedimentary relations of neotectonic period would be reconstructed. Furthermore, the definition of neotectonic movement mechanism, earthquake occurrence causes and new details in seismotectonic relations is to be expected as well.
