“…Our spatio-temporal analysis shows a strong relationship between Mediterranean temperatures and the rate of sea-level rise confirming, at the basin scale, the results locally obtained in the northwestern Adriatic Sea 42 . These oscillations are thus controlled by the differential response of Mediterranean sea-level to cooling/warming episodes, as demonstrated by the variability of sea-level rise rates observed in the Common Era.…”

Future warming in the Mediterranean is expected to significantly exceed global values with unpredictable implications on the sea-level rise rates in the coming decades. Here, we apply an empirical-Bayesian spatio-temporal statistical model to a dataset of 401 sea-level index points from the central and western Mediterranean and reconstruct rates of sea-level change for the past 10,000 years. We demonstrate that the mean rates of Mediterranean industrial-era sea-level rise have been significantly faster than any other period since ~4000 years ago. We further highlight a previously unrecognized variability in Mediterranean sea-level change rates. In the Common Era, this variability correlates with the occurrence of major regional-scale cooling/warming episodes. Our data show a sea-level stabilization during the Late Antique Little Ice Age cold event, which interrupted a general rising trend of ~0.45 mm a−1 that characterized the warming episodes of the Common Era. By contrast, the Little Ice Age cold event had only minor regional effects on Mediterranean sea-level change rates.

“…This indicates a warmer interval, which is approximately equivalent to the Roman (0-800 AD) and Medieval Climate Anomaly periods (800-1400 AD) [124], with a global increase in temperature [125]. During this period, accelerated sea-level rise is identified in the central and northern part of the eastern Adriatic Sea, based on the algal rim morphology and the tidal notches positions [53,54]. From approximately 750 cal year BP (74 cm) upward, calcite occurred as the dominant mineral phase, in contrast to Mg-calcite deposited until that period.…”

“…This is followed by the changes in the valve morphology of C. torosa from smooth (forma torosa) to noded (forma littoralis), which points to the changes in salinity, i.e., f. torosa is indicative of more saline conditions, while f. littoralis prefers reduced salinity [95]. The LIA period is identified in the eastern Adriatic as a relatively stable sea level period [53,54]. Increased precipitation and sediment input correlate well with this more humid phase in the central Mediterranean, evidenced in Lake Butrint, Albania [12], and Lake Dojran [126,127].…”

“…Holocene sea-level rise data points were determined on specific localities on the Eastern Adriatic Sea: in Lošinj Bay [14,15], in Novigrad and the Karin Sea [44,45], in Veliko Jezero and Stupa Bay on the Island of Mljet [16,27], in Caska Bay on the Island of Pag [20], in western Istria [46], in the Mirna and Neretva valleys [47], and on submerged speleothem records along the eastern Adriatic coast [48,49]. The salt pans and fish tanks were also used as sea-level markers on the eastern Adriatic coast [50][51][52], as well as archaeological and biological markers [53][54][55].…”

Lakes in coastal lowland areas represent a critically vulnerable environment as a transitional space between freshwater and seawater environments. The paleoenvironmental reconstruction and anthropogenic impact are assessed through the lake sediment cores from Velo, Malo, and Kolanjsko Blato using multi-proxy analyses (sedimentological, mineralogical, geochemical, 137Cs and ostracod analyses, and AMS 14C radiocarbon dating). The freshwater lake Velo Blato was formed at 8100 cal yr BP due to rising groundwater levels as a consequence of sea-level rise. The brackish conditions in Lake Velo Blato started at 7100 cal yr BP, giving the index point for the sea-level curve of 7-m lower than present. Lead concentrations showed slightly increased values in the last 1800 cal yr BP, while the spike in Malo Blato lake sediments probably derived from bird hunting with lead bullets. Kolanjsko Blato sediment core archives the sediment record of the last 2050 years, which represents a shallow brackish coastal wetland under marine influence. Enrichment factors showed the accumulation of Cu, Hg, P, Pb, S, and Zn in the sediments from Kolanjsko Blato in the last 650 cal yr BP, which coincides with the high organic carbon content, and in sediments from Malo Blato after the lake’s formation (from the depth of 20 cm upwards). Anthropogenic Cu introduced into the Kolanjsko Blato sediments is the highest in the surface sample. Surficial sediments from Velo Blato are characterized by the high organic carbon, S, P, and N content, indicating high productivity and eutrophication which led to occasional anoxic conditions on the lake bottom in the last 200 years.

“…More precision is recently provided for sandy beaches revealing that 24% of them are subject to erosion, and 28% are prograding, while 48% are relatively stable [2]. Growing anthropic pressures combined with climate change and sea-level change, e.g., as in References [3][4][5][6][7], makes beaches today highly vulnerable features.…”

This study investigates the quality and accuracy of remote sensing data in beach surveys based on three different data sources covering a 10-year period (2011–2021). Orthophotos from State Geodetic Administration Geoportal and satellite imagery from Google Earth were compared with orthophotos generated from UAV using ArcGIS Pro and Drone2Map. The beach area and length of 20 beaches on the island of Hvar were measured using each data source from different years. The average deviation for beach area (−2.3 to 5.6%) and length (−1 to 2.7%) was determined (without outliers). This study confirms that linear feature measurement is more accurate than polygon-based measurement. Hence, smaller beach areas were associated with higher errors. Furthermore, it was observed that morphological complexity of the beach may also affect the measurement accuracy. This work showed that different remote sensing sources could be used for relatively accurate beach surveys, as there is no statistically significant difference between the calculated errors. However, special care should always be addressed to the definition of errors.
