A comparison between the past and future expected wind conditions in the European coastal environment of the Mediterranean Sea
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the last years, exploitation of the wind power has been constantly increasing together with the size of the turbines. Furthermore, by 2030 wind energy is expected to supply around 30% of EU’s power demand. Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity, since resources are abundant...Read more

The expected dynamics of the wind conditions in the West Iberian nearshore, in the context of the climate change
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The target area of the present study is the western side of the Iberian coastal environment. Although not so high as in the North or the Baltic seas, the wind power potential can be considered significant in this nearshore. Furthermore, since this coastal environment is rich also in terms of other...Read more

An analysis of the expected climate change effects in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the environmental matrix in the context of climate change in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea. The main environmental parameters considered for analysis are wind and waves. The climatic wind fields provided by the Rossby...Read more

Correction of the predicted wave characteristics using regression methods – a case study for the Iberian coastal environment
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The west Iberian coast is affected by various storms developed in the North Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, an accurate prediction of the sea state conditions is very important to manage the protection of the harbours and population living in the coastal cities. In recent years computing power has...Read more

Electrochemical Treatment of Landfill Leachate under Cold Climate Conditions
(Corresponding) Ambauen N., Meyn T., Hallé C., Muff J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study shows that electrochemical oxidation of landfill leachate (LL) is significantly affected by cold temperatures prevailing in Nordic climate areas. As hypothesized, the degradation of common wastewater parameters (TOC, COD) exhibited lower efficiency when low average temperature (13°C) was...Read more

Extended suspect screening to identify organic micropollutants and their transformation products as potential markers of wastewater contamination in riverine and coastal ecosystems
ČELIĆ M., JAEN A., BRICEÑO-GUEVARA S., RODRIGUEZ-MOZAZ S., (Corresponding) GROS M., PETROVIĆ M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
In this study, a comprehensive suspect screening of organic micropollutants (MPs), and some of their transformation products (TPs) and metabolites, was performed in waste, river and coastal waters from the Ebro Delta region (Catalonia, Spain). For this purpose, an automated suspect screening...Read more

Improvement of calculations of the total Characterization factor in the USEtox model including a regional approach
(Corresponding) Belyanovskaya A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The USEtox model as one of LCIA models is an instrument to characterize the human toxicity impact. The model measures the intake of metals by population with meat products. The USEtox is the only model including geographical separation and wide database with organic and nonorganic chemicals...Read more

Revision of the Scarcity State Indicator in the Spanish Drought Management Plans
(Corresponding) Palop-Donat C., Paredes-Arquiola J., Andreu-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Droughts are one of the gravest natural threats currently existing in the world and their occurrence and intensity might be exacerbated due to Climate Change. Scarcity is defined as the period when demand does not accomplish the normal reliability levels due to poor water management. Water and...Read more

Biomarkers responses in Salmo salar exposed to multicomponent metal mixtures
(Corresponding) Sauliutė G., Stankevičiūtė M., Makaras T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Pollution of freshwater from industrial, domestic and agriculture sources is one of the major factors responsible for the decline of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Europe. Biomarkers responses (bioaccumulation, glucose content, cytogenetic and behavioral endpoints) elicited by the...Read more
Detection of Alpha-induced radioluminescence in the ultraviolet C range for Nuclear Decommissioning Applications
(Corresponding) Gamage K., Crompton A.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The close range of traditional alpha radiation detectors makes detection time-consuming and potentially hazardous. Alpha-induced radioluminescence in the ultraviolet C (UVC) wavelength range (180-280 nm) may be the mechanism through which stand-off detection can be achieved. The UVTRON (Hamamatsu...Read more
