Tektonske strukture na krasu

The doctoral dissertation presents a geological study of the Postojna-Planina Cave System, a major karstic network in southwestern Slovenia. The research explores its role as a natural underground laboratory for understanding tectonic structures, deformation, and karstification processes. Central to the study is the question of whether this cave system can serve as a geological archive of the region’s tectonic history. By combining surface and subsurface data, the study interprets the caves not only as karst features but as records of both ancient and ongoing tectonic activity. Two case studies: micro-displacement monitoring in Postojna Cave and structural analysis in Planina Cave
