Martinský. The State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur performs the State geological service in the field of geological research and exploration of the Slovak Republic territory. The recent abrupt changes in the economic conditions and mainly the requirements of the society in utilisation and dissemination of geological information have influenced also the Institute’s activities. Our efforts aim at most effective application of the geological research and explo- ration results in the economy, landscape potential as well as in the protec- tion and creation of the environment. In the year 2005 there occurred significant organizational changes in the scope of rationalization effectiveness of the carried out geological activities. On July 1, 2005 there was established the Division of Geology by merging former Divisions of Geological Mapping and Research, Envi- ronmental Geology and Raw Minerals. An important contribution to the performance of the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur in 2005 there was a compilation of the digital geo- logical map of the Slovak Republic at 1:50 000 scale with attached leg- end, which offers a to-date geological background of the Slovak Republic territory; it has been made accessible in form of an interactive CD. The Digital Geologic Map serves as a basic layer at creation and de- Michal Kaličiak velopment of a complex information system in our Institute. Director The State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur has gained a long-term experience in collecting of information from various spheres of its profes- sional activities, at creation and administration of databases. However, these rather inhomogeneous information sources do not fully cope with the challenges of new tech- nologies administering and utilization. This gave a momentum to launch in 2005 the project “Geological Information System“ (GeoIS), which shall systematically integrate all relevant information sources in homogenized and technologically optimum form. In the field of geological research among the priorities of the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur in 2005 belonged a complex and systematic geological in- vestigation of the Slovak Republic territory aimed at assessment, documenting and map depiction of the territory geological evolution and geological setting with broad application of special methods results from the fields of biostratigraphy, lithology, sedi- mentology, structural geology, isotope geology and specific analyses realized with electron microanalyzator. Regional geological research was focused on geological mapping and compila- tion of basic geological maps at 1:25 000 scale, which serve as a background for creation of regional geological maps at 1:50 000 scale. In 2005 the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur was involved successfully in wide range of projects from the field of environmental geology. First of all this was a Partial Monitoring System of Environmental Geofactors; in addition there were solved projects of hydrogeological and engineering geological maps; research into raw minerals resources, etc.. There was successfully finished the project “Influence of Geological Factors upon the Life Quality”. In the 2005 the Division of Informatics provided its services in terms of collecting, storage, evidence, processing and making publicly available the information. Laboratory works in the scope of solved research projects were provided by ac- credited reference laboratory. Besides the above activities the SGUDS employees participated in solutions of a whole rank of other projects, the international ones included. Finally, I would like to thank all the SGUDS employees for their concerted effort in the year 2005 and the results achieved, which have contributed the Slovak geology progress.

Its indispensable compound there belong also solutions of actual issues concerning mineral resourc- N es base of Slovakia, and not only from the viewpoint of their theoretical aspects, but also concerning practical prognoses, O research exploitability and estimation of I essential properties of mineral resources and their technological utilization. S The Division provides basic information I necessary for creation of an information system in geology; it publishes geologi- V cal maps, explanations to maps and other I professional geological publications. It has found its indispensable place within D DIVISION OF GEOLOGY international corroboration in geology.
