Final thesis of our coworker published on CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) pages
Our coworkers final thesis was published on project pages of Carnegie Mellon University that has been consistently ranked among the top computer science programs. Irman Abdić sucessfuly graduated at the end of 2011 at the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies of University of Primorska.
Within the thesis he developed a program called iSound - a toolkit for displaying spectrogram in real-time with Sphinx-4 (system developed at CMU).

Slovenian Sea-floor Morphology Analysis
On Monday, 13th February 2012, our colleague Petra Slavec sucessfully finished her Masters studies at Department of Geology (Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, University of Ljubljana) with thesis Slovenian Sea-floor Morphology Analysis.
The thesis presents some findings and geomorphologic interpretation of the Slovenian seabottom morphology based on the information, acquired from sonar data. Six main geomorphologicfeatures have been recognized from the digital relief model. The first one is the anthropogenic
interferences in the sea-bottom while others are underwater springs and solid rock outcrops near
Izola, depression with highest depths in front of Piranska punta promontory, underwater dunes in
front of the Piran bay, and palaeochannel of Rižana in front of Koper bay. Finally, an enigmatic
channel which runs all across Slovenian sea bottom in NE-SW direction perpendicular to present-day
river valleys has also been described. The last three features have been described for the first time.
The boundary between marine and continental sedimentary environment has been identified based
on the sub-bottom sonar data and information from the geologic well log. Furthermore, some
estimations of the thickness of marine sediments are shown for several locations in the Slovenian
sea.
Published article about Quaternary sea-level changes
Our coworker Petra Slavec published an article about Quaternary sea-level changes in latest issue of Geographical Bulletin. You can read it here (only abstract in english):
