Assessing the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron in column experiments for the removal of NSAIDs from water

(Corresponding) Panagou I., Kalli M., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Koumaki E., Malamis S.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The existence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is globally a major concern. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a vast category of pharmaceuticals that are widely consumed and cannot be completely removed in typical wastewater treatment systems, thus...Read more

In-situ bioremediation of groundwater polluted with Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions

Galani A., Anastopoulou P., Noutsopoulos C., (Corresponding) Mamais D.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The natural capacity of several microbes to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been considered of much interest in order to remediate soil and groundwater polluted with Cr(VI). The objective of this work is to evaluate the enhancement of the activity of indigenous Cr(VI) reducing bacteria by the addition...Read more

CO2-Uptake Enhances Chromate Release from Fresh Chromium Ore Processing Residues (COPR)

(Corresponding) Lapp F., Brück F., Mansfeldt T., Dohrmann R., Göske J., Weigand H.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Chromium ore processing residue (COPR) still contains considerable chromate which can lead to groundwater contamination at uncontrolled dumpsites. The alkaline pH and presence of portlandite introduced in the high-lime roasting render COPR a potential CO2-trap. To assess whether this feeds back on...Read more

Intercomparison of satellite and ground-based precipitation in the area of Cyprus

(Corresponding) Loulli E., Bühl J., Michaelides S., Loukas A., Hadjimitsis D.

Topic:

Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing

Cyprus has an excellent location for studying meteorology, climatology of atmospheric aerosols and aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction. Aerosol-cloud-precipitation dynamics in the region of Cyprus are responsible for the country’s precipitation budget. This study uses observations from the NASA...Read more

Implications of small-scale fisheries in Istrian waters on cartilaginous species

(Corresponding) Iveša N., Buršić M., Gelli M., Barić O., Filipas R., Castellicchio A., Gavrilović A.

Topic:

Marine environment and coastal management

In small-scale fishing in the northern Adriatic region, a certain percentage of catches consists of cartilaginous fish, and is still considered as bycatch. Despite global concerns about their overfishing, they are still understudied. In order to obtain data on the presence of cartilaginous fish in...Read more

Small-scale fisheries in Istrian waters (northern Adriatic): preliminary results on catch analysis and presence of thermophilic species

(Corresponding) Iveša N., Buršić M., Gelli M., Barić O., Filipas R., Castellicchio A., Kovačić I., Pustijanac E., Štifanić M., Paliaga P., Millotti G., Gavrilović A.

Topic:

Ecological effects of environmental change

Small-scale gillnet fisheries in northern Adriatic have latterly shown certain alterations, mainly related to more frequent occurrence of thermophilic species due to ongoing climate changes. This research presents data on gillnet catch in Istrian waters (Raša and Medulin Bay) in order to show the...Read more

Effect of the dependence structure and time irreversibility of streamflow in flood inundation mapping with focus on the long-term persistence behaviour

(Corresponding) Dimitriadis P., Iliopoulou T., Papanicolaou P., Koutsoyiannis D.

Topic:

Floods, droughts and water scarcity

The marginal structure of streamflow, with focus on the right tail behaviour, is considered as the main factor in flood risk assessment, while little is known on the effect of the temporal dependence structure and irreversibility of streamflow. Interestingly, the second-order dependence behaviour...Read more

Aboulella A., Wadi V., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

Water treatment

Membrane technology has shown extraordinary performance in treating oily wastewater. Yet, more research is focused towards enhancing the performance of the separation process.

A stochastic approach to resilience assessment of urban water systems from source to tap.

(Corresponding) Nikolopoulos D., Kossieris P., Makropoulos C.

Topic:

Hydrology and water resources

The design of urban water systems faces long-term uncertainties in a multitude of parameters, from the hydroclimatic and socioeconomic realms, such as population growth, climate change and shifting demand patterns. To analyze such systems in a holistic way, many models for sub-systems are typically...Read more
