Abstract

Utvrđivanje stope današnje promjene morske razine postaje sve važnije iz različitih znanstvenih i socioekonomskih razloga. Kako bi se predvidjele promjene koje će uslijediti, nužno je poslužiti se kako direktnim, tako i indirektnim metodama rekonstruiranja porasta morske razine. Hrvatska se obala smatra neotektonski aktivnim područjem, te je moguće rekonstruirati jedino krivulju relativne promjene morske razine, najčešće pomoću indirektnih metoda. Zbog proučavanja upravo takvih promjena, u radu se prezentira istraživanje temeljeno na mjerenju plimne potkapine - najboljeg geomorfološkog indikatora relativne promjene morske razine. Rezultati mjerenja, koje je obavljeno duž poluotoka Luna (otok Pag), generalno odgovaraju mjerenjima s drugih lokacija na otoku Pagu. Na temelju dosadašnjih istraživanja može se zaključiti da su istražene fosilne plimne potkapine vjerojatno nastale u vrijeme stabilnih odnosa kopna i mora prije oko 2000 godina od kada je došlo do porasta morske razine za oko 50±10 cm.

Abstract (english)

The determination of the present-day rate of sea level change is important for a variety of scientific and socioeconomic reasons. To be able to predict following changes, it is important to utilize either direct, or indirect methods to succesfully reconstruct the sea level rise. Croatia has been considered as a neotectonic active area, thus making only the curve of relative sea level change possible to reconstruct, mostly by using indirect methods. Regarding this paper, the survey was carried out by measuring tidal notches – one of the best relative sea level change indicators. The results of the survey (which took place along the Lun peninsula on the island of Pag) are essentially in accordance with the results from previous research. The studied tidal notches were developed during the period of stability ~2000 years ago, since which the sea level rose for 50±10 cm.
