Exploitation of Crowdsourcing Tools and Earth Observation data: A Systematic Literature Review
(Corresponding) Tsiakou D., Tsimiklis G., Tsiakos V., Karagiannopoulou K., Amditis A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Crowdsourcing is a method gaining ever wider use in practice and leverages human intelligence to solve problems in a considerable number of study fields. Howe (Howe 2006) coined the concept defining: “Crowdsourcing represents the act of a company or institution taking a function once performed by...Read more
Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more

Social Acceptability of Offshore Wind Projects in Greece: Citizen Perspectives on Challenging Issues of Site-Selection Problem
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Lack of social acceptance remains a major constraint towards offshore wind project (OWP) deployment. The incorporation of local population perspectives and concerns into the site-selection process of OWPs can assist to overcome the respective barriers. In this work, an appropriately designed...Read more

Domestic Photo-Voltaic installations - their contribution and practcalities
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The roofs of domestic-scale properties used to haveone overall main function – to keep the weather out. But since the first solar-PV panels were fitted in the UK in 1994, it has become increasingly clear that, to reduce carbon emissions and thus contribute to the transition to net-zero, all...Read more

Designing Citizen Science tools towards increased awareness and participatory policy making for air quality: The Case of COMPAIR
(Corresponding) Kogut P., Celikkol B., Vervaet G., Schreer O., Renault S., Alexopoulos C., Raes L., McAleer S.
Topic:
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Despite the concept of citizen science being around for a few decades, it is still considered a non-traditional data source, especially in policy circles. Further efforts are needed to build its acceptability by decision makers at various levels of governance. Determined to make this happen, the...Read more

How science-society interactions design post-mining territories: transdisciplinary patterns in Cevennes, France
(Corresponding) Bonincontro T., Cerceau J., Tena-Chollet F., Becerra S.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Abstract In line with the European Union's guidelines, the context of a mining resurgence in metropolitan France plans the prospective opening or reopening of mines. In this general context, the politicization of the post-mining subsurface is sparked by this mining industry rebirth, linked to...Read more
Citizens Awareness Energy Park. The value of knowledge sharing and energy science in local communities.
Ktenidis P., Boulogiorgou D., Andrianopoulou A., Kavadias K., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J., Exarchakos G.
Topic:
Participatory Science for Environmental Protection
Universities often act as a link between local communities and innovative research activities. In this context, this study explores the design of a Citizens Awareness Energy Park (CAEP) for demonstrating and disseminating knowledge to the local community. The CAEP aims in demonstrating applications...Read more
