Description of the project: "THE AIM OF THE PROJECT WAS TO INVESTIGATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOILS FROM TRANSYLVANIA. FOSSIL AND RECENT SOIL SAMPLES WERE CORED AND INVESTIGATED BY MEANS OF VARIOUS CHEMICAL AND MINERALOGICAL TECHNIQUES, SOME OF THEM BEING DATED BY URANIUM-THORIUM METHOD. BASED ON THIS ANALYSES THE SOIL PROFILES WERE CHARACTERIZED WITH RESPECT TO THEIR COMPOZITION, DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT, AND AGE. WERE POSSIBLE, THE POLLUTION DEGREE OF SOIL SAMPLES WAS ALSO MEASURED. ON SELECTED SITES BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE POLLUTION IMPACT ON VARIOUS AGRICULTURE CROPS."
