The article discusses the current situation of geography in Slovenia. Geography flourished after Slovenia became independent. The number of publications rose, seminal geographic and cartographic works about Slovenia were published, and up until
the onset of the crisis there was an increase in the number of researchers. After Slovenia joined the EU, there was an increase in international cooperation. The focus of projects has shifted from pure research to applied and targeted research. - (IKR)

Slovenia’s geodiversity, or its abiotic natural diversity, becomes more and more significant when considering regulations on nature conservation. This article presents theoretical background information to the study of geodiversity
and geomorphological heritage and the current state of this field in Slovenia. The first quantitative evaluation of geomorphological heritage in Slovenia, which was carried out in the Triglav Lakes Valley, is also presented. - (IKR)
One of the major ongoing projects in Slovenia was to link the country with motorways. Almost half of Slovenia is karst and more than half of its supply of water comes from karst aquifers. Karstologists have been involved in planning and construction
