Morsko okolje Jadranskega morja se v zadnjem času sooča s številnimi viri onesnaženja. Eden izmed teh ostaja tudi nafta, brez katere si gospodarskega razvoja trenutno še ni mogoče zamisliti. Kljub obširnemu mednarodnopravnemu okviru za varstvo morskega okolja, ki ga ponuja pravo morja, so pomembne tudi regionalne in podregionalne ureditve, ki jemljejo v ozir značilnosti posameznega morja in pa nacionalne ureditve obalnih držav, ki razvijajo državne načrte postopanja ob nastanku pomorske nesreče. Jadransko morje zaradi svojih značilnosti predstavlja edinstven ekosistem, hkrati pa preko številnih transportnih poti, ki vodijo mimo pristanišč severnega Jadrana, povezuje svet z osrednjim delom Evrope. V prihodnosti se bo trend naraščanja pomorskega prometa nadaljeval, kar posledično predstavlja večjo nevarnost onesnaženja v primeru pomorske nesreče. Severni Jadran meji na tri države, kjer se prepletajo različni politični, gospodarski in pravni interesi, ki pa jih povezuje skupna želja po zaščiti morskega okolja pred onesnaženjem, kar se kaže v različnih do sedaj sprejetih dokumentih ter pobudah po nadaljnjem sodelovanju na tem področju. Ena izmed »še« nerealiziranih možnosti ostaja razglasitev severnega Jadrana kot »posebej občutljivega morskega območja (PSSA)«, ki predstavlja ukrep za doseganje dodatne zaščite in varstva pred pomorskimi nesrečami. Za uresničitev takšne pobude pa ne zadostuje enostransko ravnanje posamezne države, pač pa je potrebno tesno čezmejno sodelovanje in prizadevanje vseh okoliških držav za doseganje skupnega cilja, to je višja raven zaščite morskega okolja. The marine environment of the Adriatic Sea has been a subject to different sources of pollution in the past years. One of these is oil, without which the economic development would currently be impossible to imagine. Despite the extensive international legal framework for the protection of the marine environment provided by the Law of the Sea, regional and sub-regional regimes are just as important, taking into account the characteristics of each sea, and national regimes of coastal states that develop national plans for acting in case of ecological disaster. The Adriatic Sea is a unique ecosystem due to its characteristics. However, it connects the world to the central Europe through the many transport routes that pass through the ports of the northern Adriatic. In the future, the trend of increasing maritime traffic will continue, which poses a greater risk of disasters in the event of a maritime accident. The North Adriatic is bordered by three countries, where different political, economic and legal interests are intertwined but united by a common desire to protect the marine environment from the pollution, which is reflected in various documents adopted so far and initiatives for further cooperation in this area. Yet, one of the unrealized possibilities remains the designation of the North Adriatic as a "Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA)", which represents a measure to achieve additional protection and safety against maritime accidents. To implement such an initiative, however, unilateral action by a single country is not sufficient. It requires close cross-border cooperation all surrounding countries to achieve a common goal of a higher level of protection of the marine environment.

Cilj diplomske naloge je bilo ugotoviti, kakšna je zanesljivost meritev koncentracije klorofila z uporabo satelitskih posnetkov na območju Jadranskega morja. V sklopu diplomske naloge smo se ukvarjali z dvema vrstama podatkov - prave meritve koncentracije klorofila, pridobljene s pomočjo merilnih naprav, ter vrednosti, izračunane iz magnitud svetlobe pri različnih valovnih dolžinah, zajetih s satelitom. Podatke smo združili glede na čas in lokacijo, nato pa korelirali koncentracije izmerjenih in izračunanih vrednosti. Če so si vrednosti združenih podatkov med seboj dovolj podobne, lahko sklepamo, da je metoda satelitske zaznave koncentracije klorofila primerna za nadzorovanje primarne produkcije in kvalitete voda v Jadranskem morju. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to determine the reliability of chlorophyll concentration assessments using satelite images in the Adriatic Sea. We used two different types of data - actual measurements of chlorophyll concentration, acquired using measuring instruments, and values calculated from the magnitudes of light at various wavelengths, captured by satellites. We joined the data based on time and location, then correlated the concentrations of actual and predicted values. If the values were sufficiently similar, we concluded that the method of chlorophyll concentration detection using satelite images is suitable for monitoring primary production and water quality in the Adriatic Sea.

Diplomska naloga je namenjena pogledu v prihodnost kontejnerizacije v Jadranskem morju. Dejstvo je, da se vse več tovora pretovarja s pomočjo kontejnerjev, kar ima za posledico nenehno vlaganje v pristaniške kapacitete. Ne smemo mimo ključnega dejavnika, zaradi katerega je Jadran zanimiv za ladjarje. V mislih imam Sueški prekop, saj drastično zmanjša pot tovora, ki je namenjen v osrednjo in vzhodno Evropo. Diplomsko delo pričnem s predstavitvijo zgodovine kontejnerizacije, njenega idejnega očeta in razvoja same tehnologije. Nadaljujem z dejavniki, ki vplivajo na gibanje pretovorjenih kontejnerjev na svetovni ravni. Sledi medsebojna primerjava devetih kontejnerskih terminalov v štirih različnih državah vzdolž Jadranskega morja, njihove trenutne kapacitete in opremljenosti. V nadaljevanju se ozrem v prihodnost, ki prinaša velike projekte, ki bodo služili povečanju možnosti pretovorjenih kontejnerskih enot. Ob bok našemu slovenskemu ponosu, ki sliši na ime Luka Koper, postavim vse ostale kontejnerske terminale, ki sem jih predstavil v nalogi. Primerjam zmogljivost našega pristanišča, projekte, ki so v realizaciji, ali še čakajo nanjo. Ne morem mimo projekta, o katerem sem pogovarjamo že dobri dve desetletji – to je 2. tir. Prav omenjeni projekt je ključ do nadaljevanja uspešne zgodbe razvoja našega okna v svet, ki, tako pri ladjarjih kakor strankah, uživa velik ugled. This bachelor thesis takes a look at the future of containerization in the Adriatic Sea. It is a fact that more and more cargo is being transshipped with the help of containers, resulting in constant investments into port capacities. We must not overlook the key factor that makes the Adriatic Sea interesting for shipowners. I am of course talking about the Suez Canal, as it drastically reduces the route of cargo destined for Central and Eastern Europe. I begin my thesis with a presentation of the history of containerization, its conceptual founder and the development of technology itself. I continue with the factors that influence the movement of transshipped containers globally. This is followed by a comparison of nine container terminals in four different countries on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, their current capacities and equipment. Then I look to the future that brings major projects that will serve to increase the potential of transhipped container units. Alongside the Slovenian national pride that is the Port of Koper I place all the other container terminals that I presented in my thesis. I compare the capacity of our port and discuss projects that are already in progress or are still pending. I can't fail to mention the project we've been talking about for more than two decades – the 2nd track. It is precisely this project that is key to continuing the success story of the development of our window into the world, which enjoys a great reputation among both shipowners and customers.

Zaradi naraščajočega ozaveščanja o morebitnih nevarnostih, ki prizadenejo obalna mesta, je potrebno vedno bolj široko poznavanje vseh dejavnikov, ki povzročajo višanje morske gladine, zaradi natančnejšega napovedovanja poplav obalnih območij, ustreznega načrtovanja obalne zaščite in izvajanja ustreznih protiukrepov. V raziskavi predpostavljamo, da lahko z ustrezno izbiro metod opišemo značilnosti nizkofrekvenčnih nihanj morske gladine, natančneje subinercialnih signalov, v Sredozemskem morju. Pri tem smo uporabili več metod − valčno analizo, spektralno analizo, analizo drsečega periodograma ter rotacijsko spektralno analizo − na merjenih podatkih morske gladine in morskih tokov določenega nevihtnega pojava na Jadranskem morju ter na večletnih merjenih podatkih morske gladine za ostala merilna mesta postaje v Sredozemskem morju. S kombinacijo različnih tehnik, uporabljenih na meritvah nihanja morske gladine, nam prvi rezultati razkrivajo informacije o periodi subinercialnega nihanja, o lokacijah, kjer je bil signal opažen, pa tudi identifikacijo dogodkov, pri katerih je nihanje intenzivnejše. To je izhodišče za nadaljnjo raziskavo širjenja signala po celotnem območju Sredozemskega morja, pa tudi za določanje mehanizmov, ki sprožijo subinercialno nihanje, med drugim tudi v okviru podnebnih sprememb. Due to the growing awareness of potential threats affecting coastal cities, a thorough knowledge of all the factors causing an increase in sea level is demanded in order to provide accurate forecasting of coastal flooding, proper designing of the coastal defences and for implementing adequate countermeasures. In the present study we hypothesize that with the correct selection of the methods we will be able to characterise low-frequency sea level oscillations, namely subinertial oscillations, in the Mediterranean Sea. Several methods were applied − wavelet analysis, spectral analysis, moving-periodogram analysis and rotary spectral analysis − to the observations of a particular storm event in the Adriatic Sea and the long-term tide gauge measurements available for the rest of the Mediterranean basin. With the combination of different processing techniques to measured data the preliminary results provide the period of subinertial oscillation, an information on the locations where the signal was evidenced as well as the identification of the events in which these oscillations exhibit special intensity. This sets the ground for a further investigation of signal propagation throughout the Mediterranean basin, as well as for characterisation of the mechanisms triggering the process, also in the framework of a climate change perspective.

Živo srebro je prisotno v vseh segmentih okolja. V atmosferi lahko hlapi elementarnega živega srebra prepotujejo velike razdalje, zato se živo srebro obravnava kot globalno onesnažilo, ki je v vseh zvrsteh strupeno za človeka. Zdravju najnevarnejše je metilirano živo srebro, ki mu je človek izpostavljen preko prehranjevanja z ribami in ostalimi vodnimi organizmi. Znanost poskuša razložiti speciacijo živega srebra in z meritvami in modeli ovrednotiti dejavnike, ki vplivajo na pretvorbe in tokove živega srebra znotraj posameznega okoljskega segmenta in med njimi. Tudi severni in osrednji del Jadranskega morja sta zaradi antropogenih virov zelo onesnažena z živim srebrom, zato smo izdelali numerični model za izračun izmenjave živega srebra med vodo in zrakom v Jadranskem morju AdriHg. Model smo uporabili za posredno primerjavo enosmerno in dvosmerno sklopljenega atmosferskega in oceanskega modela. Razlike v količini izmenjave živega srebra izračunane z različno sklopljenima modeloma so zanemarljivo majhne. Model smo uporabili tudi za ovrednotenje dosedanjih modelnih rezultatov in meritev izmenjave na območju Jadranskega morja, s čimer bomo omogočili bolj točen izračun masne bilance živega srebra na tem območju. Mercury is present in all segments of the environment. In the atmosphere, vapors of elemental mercury can travel over long distances therefore, mercury is regarded as a global pollutant, which is toxic to people in all its forms. The greatest danger to human health presents the methylated mercury to which people are exposed by eating fish and other aquatic organisms. Science attempts to explain the mercury speciation, and to evaluate with measurements and models the factors that influence mercury transformations and flow, both within and between individual environmental compartments. Since the northern and central parts of the Adriatic Sea are very polluted by mercury due to the anthropogenic sources, we have developed a numerical model AdriHg for the calculation of the mercury exchange between water and air in the Adriatic Sea. The model was used to indirectly compare the one-way and two-way coupled atmospheric and ocean models. The differences in the quantity of mercury exchange calculated with differently coupled models are negligible. The model was also used to evaluate previous model results and measurements of the exchange in the Adriatic Sea, which will enable a more accurate calculation of the mercury mass balance in the area.

The paper deals with the role of ports of the Adriatic Sea in the history of the Central European area. It singles out the importance of Trieste in various periods of time and the strategic geo-political and economic forces that changed significantly the role and character of the port of Trieste after the end of the first world war. The flows of goods were reoriented away from the Adriatic Sea, as the ports at the Atlantic coast in Germany and the Netherlands gained importance., V razpravi avtor obravnava vlogo jadranskih pristanišč za srednjeevropski gospodarski prostor. Izpostavlja pomen Trsta v različnih obdobjih in strateške geopolitične in gospodarske silnice, ki so v desetletjih po koncu prve svetovne vojne povsem spremenile pomen in značaj tržaškega pristanišča. Blagovni tokovi so se namreč preusmerili daleč stran od Jadrana, nove izhodiščne točke so se nahajale ob Atlantiku, v nemških in nizozemskih pristaniščih.
