Blaz Repe

I’m a geographer, working in the field of soils, vegetation, GIS and digital cartography. I’ve been working at the Faculty since 1996 (three years as a cartographer, nine years as teaching assistant and since 2007 as an assistant professor). Currently I’m working on the field of digital soil mapping, soils of Slovenia and educating teachers on soil, GIS and cartography topics. From 2012 till 2014 I have been the head of the Ljubljana Geography department, at the moment I’m the vice head. I’m also a founding member and a member of coordination committee of the Soil Science Society of Slovenia.
