Loess and loess-like deposits with intercalated palaeosols are widely distributed in Croatia, particularly in the Pannonian basin in the east and along the Adriatic Coast in the west, which have ...provided invaluable evidences of Quaternary climate change. The timing, provenance and spatial distribution of such loess deposits have long been a major research interest. In the current study, a ∼8-m-thick loess-palaeosol sequence located near the town of Savudrija (Savudrija Section), on the northern-most cape of the Istrian Peninsula on the Adriatic Coast, is investigated. Multiple approaches of luminescence dating and palaeomagnetic age constraint are conducted to understand the timing of the regional aeolian activities and its implications for climate change. Seven samples were collected from the loess layers of the Savudrija section for comprehensive quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and feldspar post-IR infrared stimulation luminescence (IRSL) dating. The palaeomagnetic investigation was conducted on 82 oriented samples collected from the upper 6.7 m of the section. The quartz OSL ages of the upper four samples and the fading corrected pIRIR225 ages of the lower three samples were used to reconstruct the age framework of the section. The results demonstrate that the Savudrija loess-palaeosol sequence were formed between ∼70 ka and ∼9 ka, correlated to the time span from the last glacial to early Holocene. The variation of the magnetic susceptibility of the Savudrija section is strictly following the pattern that the palaeosol horizons generate high susceptibility values while the loess horizons show low susceptibility values. The palaeomagnetic age constraint is obtained by correlating the magnetic susceptibility record of the Savudrija section with other records, which gives the age range between 65 ka and 20 ka for the loess-palaeosol sequence (excluding the lowermost red soil). It broadly agrees with the luminescence chronology but conflicts in details, demonstrating that the correlation between the different magnetic susceptibility records is questionable. Furthermore, the magnetic susceptibility record suggests that the age of ∼70 ka of the red soil at the bottom of the section might be still ambiguous and needs further study.
The occurrence of the opportunistic, oyster-like bivalve Chondrodonta is widely documented in late Cenomanian shallow-water carbonates of the Tethyan Realm. Despite its high abundance and widespread ...geographic distribution, the precise relationship between the time of its proliferation and the environmental perturbations that precede the Cenomanian – Turonian anoxic event, has not been yet investigated. Stratigraphic and geochemical analyses of the upper Cenomanian Chondrodonta accumulations within the inner platform limestones of the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP) are performed to assess the timing and the environmental controls on the Chondrodonta proliferation.
In the study area, Chondrodonta appears as sparse to common individuals within radiolitid rudist beds and reaches a phase of proliferation and predominance in the benthic community. This biotic event has been correlated via C- and Sr-isotopes to a late Cenomanian environmental stress phase, occurred in shallow-water settings and in the deep counterparts.
This environmental stress phase on the AdCP was characterized by high nutrient levels, fluctuating seawater oxygenation, and more terrigenous inputs that favored the flourishment of Chondrodonta and its transient predominance over the less resilient rudists. This bioevent seems to be recurrent at the central Tethys scale, allowing to consider the proliferation of Chondrodonta in shallow-water carbonate platforms as a stratigraphic marker for a late Cenomanian environmental stress phase preceding the anoxic event.
•Chondrodonta flourishes at expenses of rudists on the Adriatic Carbonate Platform.•Chondrodonta spreads in the late Cenomanian, before the onset of the OAE2.•Higher nutrients and fluctuating seawater parameters favour its thriving.•Chondrodonta beds correlate to environmental stress in nearby basin counterparts.•Chondrodonta proliferation as biomarker of a late Cenomanian ecological stress phase.
Rad se zasniva mahom na raščlambi arhivskih vrela iz Državnoga arhiva u Trstu o planovima, izgradnji i puštanju u rad svjetionika u Savudriji u noći sa 17. na 18. travnja 1818. godine. Tijekom prvih ...godina rada za rasvjetu svjetionika koristio se destilirani plin, koji se dobivao od ugljena iz istarskih ugljenokopa, što je bilo iznimno tehnički inovativno na razini Habsburške Monarhije i svijeta. Uzmemo li u obzir primjenu te vrste postrojenja za rad svjetionika, prema podacima kojima autor trenutačno raspolaže proizlazi da u tom području svjetioniku Savudrija pripada posve zanemareni svjetski primat. Rad donosi nove podatke o plinskome postrojenju i Antonu Domeku, koji ga je izgradio.
This study is mostly based on analysis of archival data from the State Archives in Trieste concerning the planning, construction, and opening of the lighthouse in Savudrija in the night of 17/18 ...April 1818. In the beginning, the lighthouse used distilled gas to produce its light; it was obtained from coal from the Raša Coal Mines. This process was exceptionally technologically innovative on the level of the Habsburg Monarchy and even the world, since a similar system of public city lighting was introduced in Vienna only in 1818, and in London in 1813. Considering the application of this facility for the functioning of a lighthouse, and according to the data available to the author at this time, it appears that Savudrija achieved a first in this area, which has since been completely forgotten. Namely, according to existing literature, the first lighthouse of this sort began functioning in 1865, when John Richardson Wigham designed a gas illumination system for the Baily lighthouse near Dublin. The gas lamp in the Savudrija lighthouse began to function 47 years earlier. However, since gas distillation facilities were still in their infancy at this time and had numerous technological weaknesses – for example, the lamps were prone to soot due to the lack of a sophisticated gas filtering and by-product separation system – and, despite the fact that this form of illumination was somewhat cheaper than oil-based systems, it was replaced by that older and simpler type of illumination in 1823.
The monograph presents different names of Piran Bay (Slo. Piranski zaliv) over time. Despite the leading onomastic topic, the publication is designed as a regional-geographic review of Piran Bay and ...its hinterland, where all the main physical- and socio-geographical characteristics are presented. This book describes the basic hydro-geographic characteristics of Piran Bay as a part of Gulf of Trieste and the Adriatic Sea. The monograph talks about the historical development, salt making in Sečovlje salt pans and the circumstances that led to the now more than two decades-long border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. A significant chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the different naming of the Bay of Piran through time. According to the chronological order, 104 different cartographic sources present the name changes of the Piran Bay through time and when a certain specific geographic name appeared. Based on media analysis, one of the chapters describes the relation between the names Savudrijska vala or Savudrijski zaljev (Savudrija Bay) and Piranski zaliv or Piranski zaljev (Piran Bay).
We provided new data on topography, morphology and physical/chemical parameters (pH, T, NO2-, Ca2+, PO43-, NaCl) collected in several shore grykes along the Northwestern Istrian coast, between ...Savudrija and Zambratija. Six transects, eachcontaining four to five pools, have been surveyed. Three morphological zones have been identified along the selected profiles. Morphological features of the shore grykes along the western Istrian coast are, in fact, closely related to the local tide. High-level pools are affected by karstic processes, and the surface is usually smooth. At their bottom, terrigenous deposits, mainly terra rossa, occur. Seaward, bioerosion prevails and at the bottom of the grykes, sand and rounded pebbles have been found. Chemical/physical parameters suggest that grykes located at lower altitudes are affected by seawater factors, while pools located at increasing altitudes are affected mainly by rainfall and consequentially freshwater or saltwater remaining from rainfalls or storm events. Shore gryke genesis is strongly controlled by geological weakness, along whichthey develop. Their origin is in fact due to local tectonics, while their development is related to the active vertical tectonic subsidence of the study area. Pools located at higher altitudes are mainly affected by solution karst processes, but due to the tectonic downdrop of the area, when the grykes come in contact withsea, they are gradually shaped by marine processes.

Šola ob morju - učenci OŠ Majde Vrhovnik na počitnicah v koloniji v Savudriji: se kopajo, igrajo različne ...igre, vzgojiteljice, plaža, kopalci se sončijo, v daljavi svetilnik, otroci rišejo, opazujejo morskega ježka, značilna panorama Savudrije s čolni.
Učenci četrtih razredov osnovne šole »Majde Vrhovnik« so se danes vrnili iz Savudrije, kjer so preživeli deset dni ob morju. Naj povem bolj točno: osnovna šola »Majde Vrhovnik iz Ljubljane je ena izmed prvih, ki je poskusila s šolo v naravi. V zimskem času so višji razredi odšli na smučanje na Gorenjsko, četrti razredi pa so bili deset dni na morju.
In kakšen je namen šole v naravi? Učitelji so v desetih dneh želeli predvsem utrditi v naravi že prej pridobljeno znanje in spoznati predvsem utrditi v naravi že prej pridobljeno znanje in spoznati nekatere nove stvari, ki jih je v razredu ali v Ljubljani nemogoče poučevati. Družbena vzgoja je tu lahko prišla v celoti do izraza. Ko smo učence pred dnevi obiskali v Savudriji, smo pogledali tudi v njihove dnevnike, ki jih vsak dan pišejo.
Marinka Drobnič je takole opisala šolski dan na morju: »Šola v naravi je zelo prijetna. Ni nam treba pisati, sedimo v jedilnici , ki je tudi na prostem in ima lep razgled na morje. Kadar govorimo o rastlinah, ki rastejo ob morju, gremo k obali in tovarišica nam vse sproti razlaga. Mi pa vsi vprek sprašujemo. Danes smo si ogledali oljko, vinsko trto, oreh, žito, osat, bor, cipreso, pinjo, oleander in smokve. Zdaj teh rastlin nikoli več ne bom zamenjala. Dobro jih poznam.«
Lilijana Gospodarič pa v svojem dnevniku piše: »Danes smo vstali ob tri četrt na sedem. Najprej smo odšli k jutranji telovadbi, potem pa smo pospravili svoje sobe. Najprej smo odšli k, jutranji telovadbi, potem pa smo pospravili svoje sobe. Potem pa smo zajtrkovali. Nato smo imeli tekmovanje med razredi: »Kaj veš o svoji domovini?«. Naš razred je bil drugi. Nato smo odšli na kopanje. Bili smo v dveh skupinah. V eni so bili plavalci, v drugi pa neplavalci. Skoraj vsi so se že naučili plavati. Tudi risati smo se naučili danes. Rišemo to, kar vidimo v naravi. Jaz sem narisala že dve sliki z obalo in velikim svetilnikom. V Savudriji imajo velik svetilnik, ki se vidi daleč naokoli. Rišemo tudi morske živali. Toda nikoli jih ne gremo iskati v kabinet, temveč jih nalovimo kar v morju«.
Ravnatelj osnovne šole »Majde Vrhovnik« iz Ljubljane, prof. Emil Cesar, pa nam je po vrnitvi iz Savudrije danes dopoldne dejal: »Za šolo na morju smo se pri nas pripravljali skoraj celo drugo polletje. Pri tem nam je pomagal Zavod za prosvetno pedagoško službo v Ljubljani. Potem smo izdelali program pouka, kije zajemal slovenski jezik, računstvo, spoznavanje prirode in družbe ter likovni pouk. Šolo smo poleg tega skušali približevati življenju ob morju in življenju nasploh. Zato smo v program vključili tudi ekskurzijo v bližnja obmorska mesta in izlete v naravo. Od 69 učencev četrtih razredov, toliko jih je bilo v Savudriji je bilo 22 neplavalcev. Razen štirih znajo danes vsi plavati.
Ker je celotno delo potekalo po določenem načrtu, mislim, da je naš poizkus šole v naravi uspel in da je oblika sama po sebi upravičena.
Učenci so z velikim zanimanjem obnavljali in utrjevali staro snov in se spoznavali z novo, ki jo bodo obravnavali v petem razredu. Tudi starši naših učencev so to obliko pozdravili in mislim, da so vsi učenci postali enoten kolektiv«.
Prebrali smo dnevnike učencev in slišali izjavo ravnatelja. Radi verjamemo, da je šola v naravi prijetna in da je to nedvomno nova oblika približevanja šole k življenju. Naša edina pripomba bi bila, da so to šele prvi koraki na tem področju in da se je na vse take in podobne novosti v našem šolstvu treba res temeljito pripraviti. Paziti je treba, da program šole v naravi ni prenatrpan in da izkoristimo take priložnosti za utrjevanje tistega znanja in spoznavanja tistih novih stvari, ki nam jih neposredna okolica šole v naravi lahko nudi v bogati meri. Seveda pa ne smemo pozabiti na zdravje otrok in njihovo zdravo zabavo.- Information:- Scholars of Vrhovnik Majda elementary school are having their vacation in the colony in Savudrija: swimming, playing various games on the beach, sunbathing, making children’s drawings, observing a sea urchin.- Original language summary:
