In a framework of Blue-connect project (European Researchers’ Night) Melita Peharda Uljević, Hana Uvanović and Krešimir Markulin visited elementary schools in Split, Kaštel Novi and Trogir. Through interactive workshop they introduced children to diversity of bivalves in the Adriatic Sea, their ecology and methods used in BiVACME project for studying growth and age of bivalves.
Dr Hana Uvanović i Dr Krešimir Markulin presented results of their research at the Virtual Sclerochronology Conference for Early Career Researchers. Hana talked about developing chronologies based on growth increments in smooth clam Callista chione, while Krešo present results on geochemical analysis of warty venus shells (Venus verrucosa). BivACME project leader, Dr Melita Peharda Uljević participated in Panel session: Advice for early-career researchers and among other things talked about funding and projects financed by the Croatian Science Foundation.
Clea Lumina Denamiel participated at the ECSA 59. Using the best scientific knowledge for the sustainable management of estuaries and coastal seas that took place in San Sebastian, Spain. She gave oral presention on results of her modelling in a framework of BiVACME project.
Jutarnji list published online an article about new book on bivalves. Book contains results of research conducted in a framework of SCOOL and BivACME project financed by the Croatian Science Foundation and is published by the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split. It is written in Croatian language and has been distrubuted free of charge to libraries, schools and collaborating institutions.
Importance of longer term studies in coastal marine environments is clearly illustrated in our new publication. Seawater temperature data obtained, with hourly resolution, from the data logger set in Pag bay in May 2014. These data provide a powerful insight into oceanographical conditions in the eastern Adriatic Sea.
Laboratory analysis (LA-ICPMS) of scallops at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz (Germany). PhD student Kristina Križnjak working with dr. sc. Regina Mertz and prof. dr. sc. Bernd Schöne and using multispecies approach on three scallops collected in the northern Adriatic Sea – Pecten jacobaeus, Aequipecten opercularis and Flexopecten glaber.
Hana Uvanović, PhD student financed by the Croatian Science Foundation, defended her thesis in Oceanography at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. Hana worked on two commercially important clam species, Callista chione and Venus verrucosa, analysing shell geochemistry and growth dynamics. Congratulations!
Dr Ivica Vilibić presented results of research conducted in a framework of BivACME project at the 2nd World Conference on Meteotsunamis that took place in Menorca (Spain) and at the EGU2022 in Vienna (Austria). After many online meetings, traveling was refreshing and provided an excellent opportunity for networking.
BiVACME team met at the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries to discuss progress and future plans. For this occassion, Prof Julien Thébault from the University of Brest (France) and Prof Carlotta Mazzoldi from University of Padua (Italy) travelled to Split and joined the local team. Overall it was a very creative and constructive meeting!
Presentation of activities and research conducted in a framework of BivACME project at the Festival of Science in Split. This year our stage, for a wonderful day, was research vessel of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries - Bios DVA. Children from kindergraden and elementary schools, as well as highschool and university students, families and occassional tourist came for a visit.
