Geochemical prospecting is based on analysis of sampled soil. The samples will be gathered at specific locations on the basis of mapping of surface finds of iron oxides through the aid of shallow pedological drilling. The share of iron will be determined on the collected samples through standard chemical analysis, and for samples with elevated concentrations of iron, multielemental analysis will show the composition of microelements and trace elements. Field and laboratory work.

Time dedicated to the project: 20% working time.

Curriculum vitae

Stanko Ružičić was born on the 11th of February 1980 in Split. He recived his doctorate at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering of the University of Zagreb in 2013. He began work on his PhD in Geosciences, Geology and Mineralogy in 2008. From 2007 – 2013 he was employed at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb as a research assistant, and from 2014 he has worked at the same institution as an assistant professor. His career started as a MSc (2001-2007) and PhD student (2008-2013). He has long term experience in the mineralogical and chemical investigation of sediments and soils using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), geochemical prospection methods, grain size analyses, modelling water flow and the transport of trace elements in unsaturated environments, monitoring various processes in soil/sediments, and tracer experiments. To date he has published: 5 original scientific papers published in journals indexed by Current Contents, WoS, SCI, SCIE, BA, Scopus. Number of times cited (October 2013) according to WoS: 4, and Scopus: 3. h-index according to WoS and Scopus: 1. He has participated with 10 presentations on the national and international scientific meetings. He has participated in 1 international and 2 national research projects.
