open doors day (10/2022)
|
On 20 October 2022, we opened the doors of the tide-gauge station to students and teachers of the Nautical School in Bakar and public. Visitors could see the instruments and listen to lectures about the peculiarities of sea-level measurements, about the station's history and about the processes that induce sea-level oscillations. We also discussed the importance of acquired knowledge for solving some of present day problems such as coastal flooding and climate change, but also practical applications of our measurements (with an emphasis on navigation). |
