**Geologica Balcanica**

Founded in 1934 by Prof. Dr. Stefan Bončev, Geologica Balcanica is a prestigious geo-sciences journal published by the Geological Institute “Strashimir Dimitrov” of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Serving as the official journal of the Carpathian-Balkan Geological Association, it plays a crucial role in disseminating significant geological research within the Balkans and neighboring regions. Geologica Balcanica publishes original manuscripts covering a wide array of geological topics, including palaeontology, sedimentology, geochemistry, and structural geology, among others.

The journal aims to promote a broad understanding of regional geology through research papers, short communications, reviews, and findings from workshops and symposia. By facilitating dialogue among scientists, Geologica Balcanica ensures that vital knowledge in geology is accessible and continues to influence both local and international geological communities. With its dedication to scholarly contribution, the journal stands as a testament to nearly a century of geological scholarship in the Balkans.
