Summary: The complete explorations of Quaternary deposits in the lowland surroundings of Zagreb include drillings, corings, borehole measurements, sampling, in-the-field core-determination and comparation with the nearest outcrops, a number of laboratory and cabinet treatments of samples ranging from mineralogical-petrographical ones, through the palaeonthological to radiometric determination of geological age. All mentioned would enable a synthesis of numerous newly acquired data with previous conceptions aiming to determination of depositional environments and genesis of sediments in relation to glaciations and interglaciations and the neotectonic movements as well, ending with chronostratigraphic subdivision of deposits. The practical value of results mentioned is mostly reflected in hydrogeology, namely in delineation of aquifers (shape and size) and in the neotectonics.

Keywords: Quaternary Sediments, Stratigraphy, Genezis of Sediments, Interglacial, Glacial, Neotectonics, Subsurface Mapping, Zagreb Surroundings

Research goals: The goals of project are: -delineation of spreading of characteristic horizons with different petrographic, mineral and granulometric composition, the fossils contained and radiometric geological age; -determination of depositional environments and conditions of genesis in relation to palaeoclimate and neotectonic movements; -determination of disconformities, namely hiatuses and their causes; -definition of regional key-beds in the western part of the Sava depression. The expected results are: -the possible hydrogeological contribution is in determination of the shape and spreading of aquifers; -the contributions in the field of engineering geology are in discussion of terms of the building of special objects, esp. NPP and the deposits of hazardeous waste, and assignation of certain areas and in the physical planning as well.
