Pikelj, K., and Juračić, M., 2013. Eastern Adriatic coast (EAC): Geomorphology coastal vulnerability of a karstic coast.Coastal zones are one the most rapidly changing environments on global scale, mainly caused by anthropogenic activities (industry, urbanization, tourism, food production). Coastal erosion is primarily natural process, although human-induced changes becoming more present significant factors associated with loss beach capacity. The eastern (EAC) growing tourist markets within...
U-Th and 14C dating, X-ray diffraction of the parts 16 submerged speleothems taken from depths 1.5−41.5 m 7 submarine caves pits along Eastern Adriatic coast, provided insight to sea-level fluctuations during last 220 ka palaeogeographic changes caused by changes. Due climate changes, palaeoenvironmental settings also varied, but not so abrupt intensive as in rest Europe. Namely, owing Alps Dinarides acting orographic barriers, coast was border region between periglacial Europe temperate...
Sedimentological, macro-and micropaleontological analyses on 3 cores down to 13 m depth were carried out in the lower section of Mirna River valley, order study depositional facies and environmental evolution.The Holocene marine transgression reached upstream for 7 km from present-day coast, while last ka it was followed by progradation estuarine delta.The protected coast offered valley strong input fresh water led presence a brackish microfauna front river mouth.The oldest sediments...
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from a peculiar restricted marine environment, the Mljet Lakes (Mljet Island, Adriatic Sea, Croatia) have been studied. These lakes are drowned karst dolines, which connected with Sea through narrow, shallow channel. Occasional stagnant conditions in cause hypoxic and anoxic bottom waters. Such stressed reflected oligospecific benthic Shannon-Wiener species diversity index (H) ranging 0.8 to 1.0 equitability (E) 0.18 0.26, identified samples each lake. In...
Modrič Cave is a shallow horizontal cave situated in the middle of eastern Adriatic coast (Croatia). The entrance located 120 m from at an altitude 32 above sea level, and due to its position on SW slope Dinaridic mountain range, Mediterranean climatic influence dominant. Due stable environmental conditions [(15.6 ± 0.1) °C] was recognized as potential site for detailed palaeoclimatic studies. Isotope analyses modern carbonate speleothems, rain dripwater were conducted order evaluate...
ABSTRACT This paper examines sediment transport, sedimentation and properties of suspended matter sediments in the Raša River estuary, a small, rock‐bounded, microtidal, low‐wave‐energy karstic estuary north‐eastern Adriatic. The is characterized by large variation water flow variable load mineral particles. More than 90% this brought into as fine‐grained matter, consisting only 24–36% carbonates, rest being clays. Sedimentation occurs at salt wedge, resulting prograding estuarine delta....
A lithological map of recent marine sediments and the seabed Kvarner region (Adriatic Sea, Croatia) is presented on a scale 1:500 000. The was compiled from existing published unpublished data. This an area characterised by number islands located between Istrian Peninsula Vinodol-Velebit coast. Water depths in channels reach up to 125 m, compared 40-50 m open waters adjacent northern Adriatic. Over most area, muddy sandy cover seafloor. Mud (M) found bottom Rijeka Bay, part Kvarner,...
The objective of the international interdisciplinary scientific conference “Sustainability karst environment - Dinaric and other regions”, organized by Centre for Karst, Gospic, Croatia, was to give a theoretical practical contribution concept sustainable development in regions, with special emphasis on experiences achieved region. exchange information findings obtained regions worldwide allows an integral approach this complex issue, thereby contribute towards finding reliable solutions....
