CO2 and NO2 distributions over Greece as seen by OCO-2 and TROPOMI

Gialesakis N., Daskalakis N., (Corresponding) Kanakidou M.
Topic: 
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Greenhouse gases are the driving force behind human-induced global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas (GHG) with the longer lifetime in the atmosphere, in the order of hundreds of years, and the largest contribution to the radiative forcing of the atmosphere due to its increasing...Read more

Influence of fires on atmospheric composition over Greece as seen by TROPOMI S5P

Kalogeraki E., Sfakianaki M., Gialesakis N., Chatziparaschos M., Daskalakis N., (Corresponding) Kanakidou M.
Topic: 
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The present study uses data from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite to investigate the impact of the forest fires plumes on atmospheric aerosols and gases. For this purpose, the Aerosol Index, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon...Read more

Optimized use of biogenic waste streams through the combined production of bio-based products and bio-hydrogen

(Corresponding) Küppers M., Brunstermann R., Widmann R.
Topic: 
Biowaste
Since 2015, there has been a legal obligation in Germany for the districts and cities to collect biowastes separately, which are then treated in a composting plant or fermentation plant. However, in both aerobic and anaerobic biowaste treatment, a large part of the carbon contained in the waste is...Read more

System-Dynamic models for groundwater management in SW Messinia, under different climatic scenarios

(Corresponding) Kastanidi E., Maneas G., Panagopoulos I., Viaene P., De Kok J., Berg H., Manzoni S., Velaoras D., Karageorgis A.
Topic: 
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
SW Messinia, Greece, is an interlinked coastal-inland area in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Extensive olive tree plantations and tourism are the main human activities in the area, both of which depend on groundwater resources to cover their irrigation and supply needs. The same groundwater...Read more

Adaptation to Climate Change and Spatial Planning: The Case-Study of the Region of South Aegean

(Corresponding) Lazoglou M., Serraos K.
Topic: 
Spatial environmental planning
Since the early 1990s, when climate change issues rose, the EU and its Member-States have introduced ambitious objectives and policies related to climate change adaptation, which directly affected its Member- States' climate policy framework. However, many policies concerning climate change...Read more
