In this two-year U.S.-Yugoslav cooperative research project                     in ecology between Dusan Srdoc, Rudjer Boskovic Institute in                    Zagreb and Stejepko Golubic at Boston University, the                           investigators will carry out a complete case study of a                         typical freshwater system.  The study will focus on the                         Plitvice Lakes and waterfalls in the karstic region of                          Yugoslavia. The goal is to identify the principal biological                    activities that influence calcium carbonate formation of                        these waterfalls and travertine deposits.  A                                    multidisciplinary apporach will be used.  The Yugoslav                          research team has expertise in aquatic chemistry and                            chemistry in general.  The biological research will be                          carried out by the U.S. investigator.  The U.S. scientist                       will determine the species composition and ecological role                      of organisms in forming cascades, and identify biological                       mineral formations.                                                                                                                                             This project was approved by the U.S.-Yugoslav Joint Board                      on Cooperation in Science and Technology and is supported                       through a joint fund consisting of matching contributions                       from the governments of the United States and Yugoslavia.                       The U.S. contribution is provided annually by the Department                    of State.  No NSF funds are involved.  Grants are made to                       the principal scientific institution  in Yugoslavia, but                        include dollar funds for U.S. scientist travel to Yugoslavia                    and for Yugoslav scientists' living expenses in the U.S.
