Mineralogical and geochemical study was done on weakly deformed, relatively thin pegmatites that intruded the marbles of the Rhodope metamorphic complex in the Djurkovo Pb-Zn deposit, Central Rhodopes. The pegmatites consist mainly of K-feldspar and quartz and contain minor garnet; the pegmatites lack clear zonation except for the preferable crystallization of the garnet in the central parts. The main accessory minerals are ishikawaite, zircon, monazite-(Ce), apatite, and titanite. The textural relationships indicate later hydrothermal alteration of pegmatites which led to the formation of albite, epidote, sericite, chlorite, carbonate, quartz and leucoxene. The (REE+Y, ACT, Nb, Ta, Ti)-bearing pegmatite minerals (oxides, silicates and phosphates) are partly leached and/or replaced by secondary ones. The newly-formed phases precipitated as anhedral grains along fractures and dissolved zones onto/or close to the primary minerals due to the limited mobility of the incompatible elements in fluids conditioned by pH, ligand activity and temperature.

Millerite is discovered in samples from Krushev Dol and Mogilata deposits in the Madan ore field. It was found in two associations different in appearance and mineral composition. One of them is with light green ferrodolomite, and the other with bright green mariposite (chromium-bearing phengite). Only cobalt and iron are detected as impurity elements in some analyses. They are in small concentrations (below 0.01 apfu). The Ni/S ratio is 0.95. The nickel source is associated with bodies of serpentinized ultramafics cut by ore-bearing veins.

Ages of pegmatites from two localities (Rakitovo, Lepenitsa) from the western Rhodope Mts. were acquired by U-Pb geochronology on zircon with LA-ICP-MS. The pegmatites are hosted by the metamorphic rocks of the Chepino lithotectonic unit. The large pegmatite/s accumulation from the “Suhata Reka” quarry (Rakitovo locality) is formed at 68.7±1.3 Ma, while small deformed body southwards of Velingrad town (Lepenitsa locality) yielded age of 63.4±1.2 Ma. Crosscutting altered andesite dyke is presumed to intrude the metamorphic rocks and pegmatite at 59 Ma in the Lepenitsa locality. The data suggests connection with the initial stage of the magmatic activity of the Rila-West-Rhodope Batholith (RWRB).

Sea level rise is one of the effects of climate change and the Black Sea is affected, regardless its isolated position from the World Ocean. As a consequent, in various locations worldwide is reported shifting of foredune ridges towards inland and overlapping of newly formed ridges over older secondary features, as parabolic dunes, dune fields, etc. During the field study in 2023, in the Kavatsite foredune ridge was observed such migration of newly formed accumulations on older grey dunes. Comparative analysis of UAV-based photogrammetry and generated orthophoto mosaic overlaid to archive aerial images from the early 20th century showed over 20 m migration of the primary dune ridge inland and also increased beach erosion. Regarding the accelerating sea rise tendency, special attention should be taken to the anthropogenic activities in the coastal zone, including the beach-dune systems – the first natural barrier to the wave action on coasts.

Hydrogeological conditions in karst areas reflect the high velocities of groundwater movement in open or material-filled channels. Usually they remain hidden under the ground, and only high flow rates of the flowing underground water reveal them. An example is one of the largest karst springs in Bulgaria – Glava Panega in the village of Zlatna Panega. There are two hydraulically connected lakes close to the spring head. The purpose of the present study is to establish this relationship, as well as to provide a more accurate information of groundwater discharge zones in the lake near the source of groundwater. The methods used include analyzing specific information from speleological studies, combined with conducted on field geophysical studies. Profiling was carried out using the method of the self potential, as well as research with the determination of the values of the natural electromagnetic field. The obtained results support the understanding of the behavior of the karst system in the area of the Glava Panega spring.

Metallurgical productions are a potential source of environmental pollution, including groundwater. For the preservation of groundwater resources, the proper organization of a network of observation wells to monitor the quantity and quality of groundwater in the territory affected by the production is of а great importance. The object of the present study is the groundwater in the area of the Aurubis Bulgaria plant. The development of the largest own monitoring system in the country has been tracked, with a view to obtain a real picture of the ecological state of groundwater and its changes over time.

The crustal thickness in the area of the Rhodope Metamorphic Complex decreases from west to east from ~50 km to ~30 km. This regional-scale feature is mostly due to the different rates of extension that the basement rocks experienced in different parts of the complex. In our model, we postulate that the crustal thickness in the area is an effect of the late Eocene zipper-like or hinge-like extensional tectonics that caused a larger amount exhumation of high-grade metamorphic rocks in the eastern parts of the area and lesser one in the west. This zipper-like orogen parallel extension caused a vast tectonic erosion and progressive thinning of the crust from west to east.

Previous analyses of the Sumer Formation sediments have been limited to samples up to 400 m deep near the village of Varbitsa. This study extends the investigation, exploring the mineral composition and carbonate content of the sediments near the village of Sumer. Samples were collected from two outcrops at the Montana-Vratsa Road junction (C-1) and the Shugavitsa river basin (C-2). Both outcrops revealed a quartz and calcite content of approximately 75–80%, with a significant variance in calcite levels: 11.4% at C-1 and 31.3% at C-2. Illite (4.5%) and kaolinite (2%), these clay minerals essential for the marls’ sorption properties, were only detected in C-1 samples. The C-2 outcrop exhibits a higher carbonate content (17.65%) compared to C-1 (10.85%). These findings mirror the mineral composition trends observed near Varbitsa, where the content of illite and kaolinite increases with depth. The results provide valuable data for future geochemical and geotechnical evaluations pertinent to the development of geological repositories.

The building was constructed in the central urban part on a collapsible loess of the II type. The later forms a slope with a height of 10–11 m in the structure proximity. Since the 1990s, the building has been subjected to deformations from strong earthquakes, subsidence and settlement caused by water supply and sewage over-moistening and suffusion flow of loess through the underground galleries beneath it. The present study makes a geotechnical assessment of the ground base, elucidates the causes for the resulting deformations, analyzes the data from the geotechnical monitoring since 2018 and discusses the effectiveness of the performed strengthening of the foundations and the ground base.

Photovoltaic power plants have recently become increasingly common to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Non-fertile lands occupied by industrial waste are very suitable for their construction. The present study concerns the design and construction of a photovoltaic park on the territory of a reclaimed coal tailings dump “Suhoto Dere” near the TPP “Bobov Dol”. The study includes collection, processing and analysis of archival materials, site mapping, drilling of exploration boreholes, dynamic penetration tests, geophysical electrical resistivity survey, laboratory testing of soil samples to determine physical and mechanical properties; chemical analysis of soil samples to assess soil aggressiveness to concrete and steel. Based on the obtained data, an assessment of the suitability of the site is made and recommendations are given to prevent the occurrence of adverse phenomena and processes.
