Project Title: Development of technology for assessment of autopurification capabilities of coastal waters
Project Title in Croatian: „CAAT (Engl. Coastal Autopurification Assessment Technology) – Razvoj tehnologije za procjenu autopurifikacijskih sposobnosti priobalnih voda” (KK.01.1.1.04.0064)
Principal Investigator: prof. dr. sc. Roko Andričević
Starting Date: December 20, 2019
Ending Date: December 20, 2022
Web Pages: http://caat-project.com/
Project Summary:

The CAAT project aims to apply fundamental research in oceanographic and atmospheric modeling that will be related to the flow and transport of surface and groundwater runoff to the Adriatic coastal waters to quantify the actual load on these water bodies and their potential auto-purification capabilities. The models and methodologies mentioned above are based on the previous research activities of all project partners.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy (FGAG) is the project leader, and the partners are the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), the Faculty of Science (PMF) and the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IZOR).
The CAAT project directly contributes to the overall goal of the science and innovation investment program, which is to increase market oriented RDI (research, development, and innovation) activities. This funding program addresses market failures due to insufficient investment in RDI activities in the Republic of Croatia. It does so by supporting collaborative projects of scientific organizations and disseminating results to the business sector. 
The total value of the project is HRK 7,156,744.99. Amount co-financed by the European Union with grants from the European Structural and Investment Funds in the financial period 2014-2020 amounts to HRK 6,034,318.11.

 

Project Title:

Coastal zone monitoring using multi-scaling methods

Project Title in Croatian: „COMON (Engl. Coastal zone monitoring using multi-scaling methods) – Monitoring obalnog područja koristeći višeskalne metode” (KK.01.1.1.07.0033)
Principal Investigator: prof. dr. sc. Roko Andričević
Starting Date: December 21, 2020
Ending Date: December 21, 2023
Web Pages: https://comon-project.com/
Project Summary:

Project COMON (COastal MONitoring) aims to apply innovative solutions for continuous coastal ecosystem monitoring as a foundation for their integral management. The Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, due to its coastal lengthiness and a great number of islands, faces significant anthropogenic pressures, which are the result of economic growth and the increasingly more pronounced influence of climate change. COMON offers a united monitoring concept of Adriatic coastal waters processes on different scales, thus developing the methodology of spatial update with geostatistics methods and numerical modelling methods. Final results in the form of mapping for water quality parameters might be used in different future loading models and/or climate change effects on the coastal domain. Such an output presents a vital tool for sustainable spatial planning and developing tourism strategies on local and regional levels. The Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy (FGAG) is the project leader, and the project partner is Green infrastructure d.o.o. from Zagreb.
The total value of the project is HRK 6.889.375,34. Amount co-financed by the European Union with grants from the European Structural and Investment Funds in the financial period 2014-2020 amounts to HRK 5.537.725,34.
