Projects
School was organized in three projects. For project reports click on
the links. For short description read below.
Sky Glow Local Monitoring
Main goal of SGLM group will be light pollution measurements
of Istrian peninsula with a CCD camera. Measurements
will result in a complete map of Istrian peninsula showing the
distribution of light pollution. Also, we will try to improve
measuring methods and software used during the work. The participants
will be actively involved and gain first hand
expirience in the problems of light pollution.
This group has openings for only two participants. So get your ticket
in time because it will be a hell of a ride...
Leaders Ivica Crljenica, Kim Dzananovic
Ivica and Kim are physics students at University of Zagreb. Work
at school is part of Sky Glow
Local Monitoring project. Ivica has been with S3 since the beginning in 2001.

Influence of modernization on the development of cities in Porec region 1857.-1910.
(spatio-temporal analysis)
The aim of this group is the analysis of influence of
the modernization process on the demographic
development in the Porec region. It is well known that
the second half of the 19th century is the period of a
strong demographic rise in Croatia and in Istria.
According to the historical sources and the fieldwork
we will analyze the way that rise happened in the
Porec region. We will search for new economical
activities in that region, identify
settlements that gained economic prosperity and those settlements that
lost their importance in
new economic environment.

Measurements of environmental electromagnetic fields
Aim of the group is to explore and measure different kinds of
electromagnetic radiation in natural and laboratory environment.

All three leaders are enrolled in biophysics doctoral programme
at Universities of Split and Zagreb. Ana is with S3 since it
first took place in 2001. Her research interest include brain imaging
using magnetoencefalography and educational physics. Larisa's
research is directed towards secondary structure of membrane
proteins.
