Dea Brunović is a researcher at the Croatian Geological Survey and a 3rd year PhD student in Oceanology at University of Zagreb. Her PhD project is part of the larger, interdisciplinary project called LoLADRIA (‘Lost Lake Landscapes of the Eastern Adriatic Shelf’ ) which is funded by the Croatian Science Foundation and led by Dr Slobodan Miko. Dea’s research aims to reconstruct paleoenvironmental dynamics of the Eastern Adriatic Shelf (Lošinj Channel) in connection to climate changes and sea-level oscillations during the late Pleistocene and Holocene.
