Igor Vlahović was born in Zagreb in 1965, where he
earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees at the Joint Study of Geology of the
University of Zagreb (1989, 1993), and PhD at the Faculty of Mining, Geology
and Petroleum Engineering of the University of Zagreb. From 1990 to 2006 he was enrolled with the Croatian
Geological Survey, where his main scope of interest was work on the
Geological Map of the Republic of Croatia in 1:50.000 scale in Istria,
islands of Cres, Krk, Lošinj,
Mljet, Lastovo and Vis,
as well as on Pelješac, Biokovo
and Ćićarija. From 2006 he is employed by the Faculty of Mining,
Geology and Petroleum Engineering of the University of Zagreb as assistant
professor, from 2007 to 2012 as associate professor, from 2012 as full

kids. Scientific Activity Igor Vlahović actively participated at numerous
scientific conferences in Croatia and abroad. Member of the Organizational Committees:

He was coordinator and reviewer of Croatian
contribution to the Geological Map of Europe 1:5 M. He is member of the National Commission for the
Stratigraphic Nomenclature since 2009. Igor Vlahović collaborated on several scientific
projects funded by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport of the
Republic of Croatia, and at the moment he is collaborator at the project 'Dinaric Karst: Geological Evolution,
Mineral Resources, Paleosols and Soils’ (Principal Investigator prof.dr.sc. Goran Durn) and Principal Investigator at the
project ‘Microfossil Assemblages in
Carbonate Deposits of the Karst Dinarids’. He collaborated in the project ‘Geological Map of the Konavle Area in
1:50000 Scale – Necessary Precondition for the Sustainable Development’,
funded by National Scientific Foundation of the Republic of Croatia, as well
as on two projects funded by the Croatian Science Foundation
(2016–2019): ‘Cretaceous Geodynamic Evidences in the Dinarides and Pannonian Basin’ (PI Prof.
Dražen Balen, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb) and ‘Velebit Top to Bottom – Multidisciplinary
Research linking Seismological Data and Tectonics in the Mt. Velebit Region’ (PI Prof. Marijan Herak, Faculty of
Science, University of Zagreb). Currently
he is collaborator on a project funded by the Croatian Science Foundation
(2020–2024): ‘Western Istrian Anticline as an Ideal Natural
Laboratory for the Study of the Regional Unconformities in Carbonate
Rocks’ (PI
Prof. Goran Durn, Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering). He was leader of Croatian scientific groups on four
international scientific projects:
He was actively collaborating on two international
scientific projects:
Igor Vlahović gave invited lectures in Austria (Montanuniversität Leoben, 2008), Poland (University of
Warsaw, 2007; Polish Academy of Sciences Krakow, 2012), Spain (University of
Granada, 2016), and USA (The University of Kansas, Lawrence KS, 2005 and

Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum of the University of Zagreb, he received
the Special Dean's Award as the first author of the most cited paper among a
total of 1,012 papers published from 1964 to 2024 by authors from the Faculty in journals covered by the Web of Science
database. Major Commercial Projects Igor Vlahović collaborated on several major projects
for commercial purposes – basic geological investigations for tunnels Mala
Kapela (5.8 km) and Sv. Rok (5.7 km), projects for
petroleum industry (geological profiles Senj–Ogulin and Ogulin–Karlovac,
interpretation of Upper Jurassic sedimentary environments in the Gorski Kotar
area, study of depositional environments in the Mudawara
oil field, Syria), hydrogeological investigations of the island of Mljet and exploration of dimension stone in Istria and
