During a recent visit to the Instituto de Investigatcións Mariñas (Vigo, Spain), Melita Peharda Uljević delivered a lecture on sclerochronology research. She met with Dr Laura García Peteiro and Dr Jose Manuel Fernández Babarro at and discussed options for collaboration.
Dr Krešimir Markulin presented the results of our research on shell geochemistry of Mytilus galloprovincialis shells at the international congress in Poreč. BiVACME is truly an interdisciplinary project
Another exciting evening! Split, city centre & scientists on the streets. We are proud to be part of this exciting event and happy to have the opportunity to share our research with the public – especially children.
Niko Bujas successfully defended his thesis “Age structure and growth of bivalve Unio crassus in different environmental conditions” at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Zagreb. His research was dealing with growth patterns of endangered freshwater bivalve species. Samples were collected in a framework of the HRZZ project METABIOM (PI Zrinka Dragun), while samples were analysed in a framework of our BIVACME project.
BiVACME PI Melita Peharda Uljević was one of the invited speakers at the international scientific symposium Interdisciplinary Approach to Scientific Research of the Adriatic Sea (InspireAdriatic 2023) that took place at the Ruđer Bošković Institute. The title of her talk was “Sclerochronology research in the Adriatic Sea – what can we learn from bivalve shells?”
Amazing meeting organised by Prof Elizabeth Harper at the University of Cambridge – with bivalve researchers from all over the world. Melita Peharda Uljević presented research conducted in a framework of the BiVACME project with the title “Bivalves as archives of environmental change in the coastal marine ecosystem – sclerochronology research in the Adriatic Sea”.
As a part of Blue-connect project, Reconnecting Science with the Blue Society, Hana Uvanović and Melita Peharda Uljević delivered interactive workshops to two elementary schools in Kaštela, Elementary school Bijaći and Elementary school Kneza Trpimira. They talked about bivalves – their diversity and ecology – and presented the results of research conducted in a framework of the BiVACME project.
BiVACME project leader Melita Peharda Uljević delivered an oral presentation with the title „Spatial and temporal variability in environmental δ15N signals – insights from Mytilus galloprovincialis shell and tissue analyses at the 6th International Sclerochronology Conference. Melita was also involved in the organisation of this conference as a member of the Scientific Committee.
BiVACME post-doctoral researcher Hana Uvanović had a virtual oral presentation at the 6th International Sclerochronology Conference. This was a hybrid conference, with the excellent technical support, that enabled interaction between online and onsite participants.
As a part of promotion of book on bivalves, Dr Melita Peharda Uljević presented research conducted in a framework of BiVACME project at national TV. She talked about age and growth of long living bivalves including Glycymeris pilosa and Callista chione. Story was featured on HTV1 in show „Dobro jutro Hrvatska“ on October 3rd 2022.
