Immediately after the earthquake in Petrinja, Geological Survey of Slovenia joined the international project involving geologists from Italy, France and Croatia. Due to the difficult availability of the seismic area, primarily the area of limited movement due to the danger of mines, experts from the Croatian Geological Survey were joined by geologists from the Geological Survey of Slovenia and surveyed the area with spatial laser scanning technology called Lidar. Lidar is an acronym from Light Detection and Ranging and the scanning detects very precise changes on the earth’s surface. It is important to emphasize that the project was demanding and expensive so SLO CRO Business Club financially supported the project.
