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

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

Fortified settlements between Ambracian gulf and Acherontas river in Preveza
(Corresponding) Saltagianni E., Kastaounou S., Gousis C.
Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
The prefecture of Preveza is an area that has been an ideal place to live because there are the fields (are necessary for cultivation), the mountains (important for safe landscape), the rivers (are necessary for drinking water and watering the fields) and the sea (for trade and fishing). Such a...Read more

Fortified settlements during the Ottoman conquest in Thesprotia
(Corresponding) Saltagianni E.
Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
The area of the prefecture of Thesprotia was conquered by the Ottomans before Constantinople and the final decline of Byzantium.
There are fortified sites built after the Ottoman conquest in accordance with the new techniques and requirements of the era. There are also fortified places that...Read more

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Agricultural activity of spreading fertilizers may, in case they are washed away to an aquifer, result in a groundwater contamination. There was a research conducted in Croatia on the lower part of the Danube-Sava canal which is occupied by extensive agricultural production to measure the...Read more

Deciphering Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) for the coastal areas of Rhodes Island and the possible impact on tourism
(Corresponding) Vandarakis D., Loukaidi V., Kyriakou K., Kyriakidou C., Gad F., Sourianos E., Kapsimalis V., Drakopoulou P., Kikaki A., Hatiris G., (Corresponding) Panagiotopoulos I., Chatzinaki M., Morfis I., Sioulas A.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Rhodes Island, located in the southeastern Aegean Archipelagos. Coastal areas, extended sandy beaches, people’s hospitality, and adequate infrastructure are principal factors that have increased the touristic value of the island. The estimation of the Coastal Vulnerability Index is important, since...Read more

Development and promotion of the WEEE prevention culture in Greece
(Corresponding) Charitopoulou T., Vogiatzidaki E., Gkitzeni I., Malliaris M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
WEEE streams challenge the goals towards a circular economy, since WEEE contain valuable and scarce resources that could be prepared for a second life or recovered. In the framework of the project LIFE REWEEE (LIFE14 ENV/GR/000858), Hellenic Recycling Agency (HRA) aims to raise awareness among...Read more

The green projects as a source of proecological transformation
Grudziński A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Green projects are unique, complex, one-time and intertwined activities that serve to preserve and protect the natural environment. The implementation of green projects may affect the greening of some enterprises. At the same time, so-called "brown" enterprises will have the chance to...Read more

Indoor and outdoor environment impact over the generic conditions for thermal bridge appearance
(Corresponding) Ivanov M., Mijorski S.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The presented study considers the numerical modelling of a thermal bridge distribution, based on conjugated heat transfer and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of approximated external concrete wall. The thermal bridge distribution is cross-analyzed relative to the indoor and outdoor air...Read more

Thermal bridge modelling, based on conjugated heat transfer and CFD methods
Mijorski S., (Corresponding) Ivanov M.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the building structure, the “thermal bridge” is defined as an isolated zone, where construction elements have higher thermal conductivity, compared with the rest of the building envelope. Thus, a significant temperature difference may exist between adjacent solid and air volumes within the...Read more
