To understand the impact of keeping Nord Stream 2 off map, we model European natural gas market from point view supply security. Focusing on network aspects, propose a novel framework to measure security, combining linear programming approach with risk assessment technique, expected shortfall (ES) borrowed finance, particularly suited extreme risk, such as failing pipelines. Shifting Russian ex...

The objective of this study is to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of three coastal zones of the Adriatic Sea during late spring, and to identify similarities and differences among the zones. The trophic status of the Southeastern Adriatic-Sea, dominated by the discharge from the Buna/Bojana river delta watersheds, is compared with two other Adriatic regions: the Northwestern A...

This paper gives a review of marine radioecology research in the Adriatic area carried out by the Radiation Protection Unit of the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health. Measurements of radioactivity in the Adriatic started in 1963 as a part of an extended monitoring programme of radioactivity in Croatian environment. The main sources of radioactive contamination of the Adriati...

A modelling system for the Adriatic Sea has been built within the framework of the Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project. The modelling system consists of a hierarchy of three numerical models (whole Mediterranean Sea, whole Adriatic Sea, Northern Adriatic Basin) coupled among each other by simple one-way, off-line nesting techniques, to downscale the larger scale flow field to highly ...

The objectives of this research program are 1) to characterize the structure of the river plumes and coastal currents in the western Adriatic Sea and their influence on sediment dispersal from Alpine and Appenine rivers; 2) to assess the relative contributions of Alpine and Apennine rivers to the clinoform development in the Adriatic, and to determine the delivery mechanisms of these different ...

In recent highly variable climate, a combined effect of a large-scale northern hemisphere climate and regional-scale Adriatic hydroclimate changes significantly reflected in the Adriatic Sea ecosystem. To clarify this statement we set up in connection two inter-annual systems: the airsea interconnected system and pelagic ecosystems for the period 1961 to 2010. Within this period, significant ch...

Kru`i}, P.: First records of Cladopsammia rolandi (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) in the Adriatic Sea. Nat. Croat., Vol. 17, No. 1., 9–14, 2008, Zagreb. The known geographical distribution of the colonial scleractinian coral Cladopsammia rolandi Lacaze-Duthiers, 1897 has been extended with new records from the Adriatic Sea. This Mediterranean endemic scleractinian coral was found in spring 2002 on the cli...

This review focuses on mercury speciation in the Adriatic Sea, a marginal sea of the Mediterranean, which represents its distinct biogeochemical subunit due to anthropogenic mercury loadings. The current knowledge about mercury cycling in the Adriatic is presented through an overview of the state of the art of research in this area: temporal and spatial distributions and occurrence of mercury s...
