Investigation of aeolian dust transportation dynamics with the purpose to reconstruct quasi-continuous long term trends of the aeolian dust dynamics and palaeowind regimes using high-resolution grain size analysis (laser particle size diffractometer) and rock magnetism; Reconstruction of palaeotemperature and palaeoprecipitation regimes using stable isotopes (δ13C, δ18O) from the carbonate matrix and loess molluscs; Reconstruction of the evolution of the palaeosols situated on Upper Cretaceous limestone and other red, yellowish-red and brown palaeosols within loess sequence on Susak Island based on high-resolution depth approach; Establishing a geochronological framework using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating (14C) which is the basis for quantitative interpretations. Correlation of the investigated deposits from North Croatia with results from similar sediments from Croatia and the wider region, as well as correlation with global climate archives from deep seas and Greenland ice cores.
