Livestock Greenhouse Gases emissions and its contribution to Climate Change. The case study of a Cyprus cow farm
LOIZIA P., (Corresponding) VOUKKALI I., ZORPAS A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Human population is expected to increase from 7.8 to 9.4 billion by 2050. At the same time the demand for agricultural products will increase by about 50-70%. As a result, there is a growing awareness that rapid growth in global production and consumption of livestock products is contributing to...Read more
Estimation of Evapotranspiration under the Effect of Climate Change in Egypt
(Corresponding) Gado T., Mohameden M., Rashwan I.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration is important for water resources management. In this study, using historical meteorological data of 21 stations, the FAO Penman-Monteith method (FAO56-PM) was applied to predict the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in Egypt during the late of this century...Read more
Life Cycle Assessment of Cheese in Terms of Climate Change
(Corresponding) Dagiliūtė R., Minkevičiūtė I., Dikšaitytė A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Milk products are important sources of nutrients in the human diet; however, they have a significant impact on the environment, particularly because of the greenhouse gases that are generated during the production of these products. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of life cycle of...Read more

Integrating Seaport Infrastructure Monitoring Approaches to Improve Smartness and Climate Adaptive Capacity
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Sartampakos P., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in an attempt to deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or with...Read more
Triclosan-induced changes in earthworm Eisenia fetida life cycle under elevated temperature
(Corresponding) Miškelytė D., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Antimicrobials are important for preserving the quality of life and public health. Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, TCS) is one of the most used antimicrobials in both pharmaceuticals and personal care products and it is a frequently detected emerging organic...Read more
Keywords:
triclosan, climate change, chronic toxicity, earthworms, temperature
Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis for Climate Change Adaptation in Greece
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Katsiardi P., Chioti D., Sebos I., Assimacopoulos D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Stakeholder mapping and analysis is essential in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects to assess and identify the needs of stakeholders (SHs). For the mapping of actors involved in adaptation planning and implementation in Greece, a multi-criteria analysis is followed.
The SHs involved in CCA...Read more
An analysis of THETIS-MRV data on CO2 emissions by Ro-Pax ships
(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Zouloumis I.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Maritime transport is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions are expected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not taken. In 2013, European Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry. In this...Read more
Thornthwaite's approach for assessing aridity changes during the last seven decades in the urban environment of Heraklion-Crete in Greece
(Corresponding) Proutsos N., Bourletsikas A., Solomou A., Tsagari K.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
Changes in aridity, especially to more arid classes, can have a strong impact on vegetation development in urban environments affecting also the inhabitants’ health and quality of life. In this work, water related parameters (i.e. Potential evapotranspiration PET, water deficit D and surplus S) and...Read more
Assessment of thermal indices applicability in Cyprus
Pantavou K., Giallouros G., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Nikolopoulos G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Thermal indices are commonly used to assess outdoor thermal environments. This study aims to examine the applicability of popular thermal indices for the assessment of thermal sensation in Cyprus. Field surveys were conducted in outdoor public sites in five districts of the Republic of Cyprus. The...Read more
Keywords:
thermal index, thermal sensation, index evaluation, field survey, Mediterranean climate
Development of an urban resilience indicator for Athens in the context of climate change
(Corresponding) Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Cartalis C.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Urbanization interacts with climate change through the way cities are organized and built (land cover/ land use, urban morphology). Increased energy consumption and consequently CO2 emissions, combined with emissions from city functions (urban metabolism, anthropogenic heat sources) intensify urban...Read more
