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

Exploring the mitigation potential of tree crops ecosystems in the Mediterranean region
Bithas K., (Corresponding) Latinopoulos D., Petridou F., Spanos I., Sotiropoulos A., Haroutounian S., Roussos P., Montanaro G., Evergetis E., Intrigliolo D., Mimis A., Sotiropoulou R., Tagaris E.
Topic:
Mitigation policies
Orchards agro-ecosystems display a significant potential to act a net sink for atmospheric carbon, offering significant land-based mitigation services. This mitigation potential depends greatly on cultivated species and applied cultivation practices. In this context, the study herein aims to...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
Preliminary results of climate effect on phenology of honeydew producing insects of fir trees and the production of fir honey in Evritania - Greece
(Corresponding) Gounari S., Botonakis S., Papadopoulos A., Pantera A., Tassios A., Fotiadis G.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
In a 3-year program (2019-2021) the production of fir honey in the prefecture of Evritania, the most mountainous prefecture of Greece, was studied. The production of fir honey is influenced by the condition of the tree, the phenology of the honeydew producing insect, the beekeeper's management...Read more
