Sustainable landscapes: restoration and land use planning in an adaptive approach to climate change and desertification. Case study of Inter-Andean Valley of Cauca River in Colombia
(Corresponding) Alvarado-Solano D., Otero J., Šarapatka B.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The inter-Andean valley of Cauca River (IVCR) is one of the most industrialized regions in Colombia leading its seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) to a fragmented and degraded state. Changes in land cover may alter the climatic and hydrological patterns. In the period 1984 – 2014, 26% of natural...Read more
Effect of anthropogenic sources on total particles and Cloud Condensation Nuclei levels in the Eastern Mediterranean
(Corresponding) Bougiatioti A., Zarmpas P., Kalkavouras P., Mihalopoulos N.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
The absorption and scattering of radiation by atmospheric aerosol particles, especially those originating from anthropogenic activities, is a key component of anthropogenic climate change. Aerosol particles also act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) “indirectly” forcing climate through the...Read more
Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India
(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...Read more
Non-targeted screening workflows for gas chromatography – high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis to find and identify biomagnifying contaminants in biota samples
(Corresponding) Rebryk A., Haglund P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The health of key species in the Baltic region has been affected by exposure to anthropogenic hazardous substances (AHSs), which accumulate in organisms and are transferred through food chains. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive characterization of the occurrence and accumulation of AHSs...Read more
End-phase Rehabilitation Assessment of Boracay Island Using Microbial Parameters as Indicator of Water Quality
Rañada M., (Corresponding) Jaraula C.
Topic:
Pollution control and contaminated sites
The tourism-dependent Boracay island continued to accommodate tourists reaching a peak of >2 million in 2017 after nearly breaching through the island’s ecological threshold in 2012. Anthropogenic pressures resulting in poor water quality and disturbance of wetlands forced the authorities to...Read more

Fluctuation of Nighttime Ground Level Ozone Due to Artificial Light
Mohamad Nazir A., Ramli N., (Corresponding) Ismail M., Awang N., Nordin N., Abdul Wahab S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation creates ground-level ozone (O3) during the day and is subsequently eliminated by nitrogen oxides at night. However, excessive artificial light use, those results in light pollution, may interfere with the chemistry of ground-level O3 at night by supplying enough energy to...Read more
