Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change
(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more

Climate change, overheating and public health: analysis of dynamic and correlations in EU regions
(Corresponding) Tsemekidi S., Tsoutsos T.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
An intense concern about global warming and increased temperatures as a result of climate change has been observed worldwide during the last decades. The need for cooling expressed in Cooling Degree Days (CDD) at the EU level has increased by 169.8% since 1980. Extreme temperatures, intense...Read more

Decreased Soil Water Content Effects on the Toxicity of Triclosan to Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)
(Corresponding) Miskelyte D., Zaltauskaite J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Due to the rising amounts of antimicrobial agents in the environment and the lack of knowledge on their ecotoxicity, there is growing concern regarding their effects on the environment. One of the most widely used antibacterial compounds in both personal care and pharmaceutical products is...Read more
Assessing the Effects and Dangers of Climate Change on the Environment and Society of the Philippines
Corpus R., (Corresponding) Bayani M., (Corresponding) Ado R.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
The Philippines is one of the most susceptible nations to climate change's effects. It is anticipated that the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as typhoons, floods, and droughts will increase over the next few decades. This thesis seeks to evaluate the environmental and...Read more
DISAGGREGATION OF GLOBAL CLIMATE MODEL DATA TO CREATE IDF CURVES UNDER RCP8.5 SCENARIO
(Corresponding) Gül B., Kayaalp N.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Global climate change is one of the most important problems of our age. Its possible harmful effects are flood formation, loss of life and property, severe drought etc. Many studies are carried out to reduce these damages and to limit the impact area. The creation of precipitation intensity-...Read more
Application of a Bioclimatic Index for Evaluating the Attractiveness of Two Highly Touristic Beaches in Santorini and Kos
(Corresponding) Chatzipavlis A., Monioudi I., Velegrakis A., Chalazas T., Chatzistratis D.
Topic:
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
Beaches have a high hedonic value and economic potential; they are pillars of tourism which has been increasingly associated with vacationing wholly, or partially, at coastal locations and beach recreational activities according to the 3S (Sun, Sea and Sand) touristic model. The visitor’s...Read more

A New Material for Microencapsulation of Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
(Corresponding) Konuklu Y., Yıldırım B., Gezici O.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Phase change materials (PCMs) serve as energy storage materials that can effectively reduce the heating and cooling load. To overcome the issue of leakage in practical applications, there has been a growing significance in conducting research on microencapsulation and composite production. In this...Read more

Thermal Energy Storage Properties of Gelatin-Gum Arabic Microcapsules Containing Lauric Acid
(Corresponding) Konuklu Y.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
In this study, gelatin-gum arabic microcapsules containing lauric acid were prepared for thermal energy storage applications. Lauric acid and gelatin-gum arabic were used as the core material and shell material, respectively. The synthesized microcapsules were analyzed using differential scanning...Read more

Analysing the indicators and the associated recommendations of household emission calculators
(Corresponding) Alexopoulos C., Karelis C., Keramidis P., Orfanou A., Lekkas D., Charalabidis Y.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are some of the most noted topics of the last years. Carbon footprint calculators provide an interesting solution when it comes to informing people about the above topic. These calculators try to estimate the carbon footprint, the total amount of...Read more
