A comparison between the past and future expected wind conditions in the European coastal environment of the Mediterranean Sea
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the last years, exploitation of the wind power has been constantly increasing together with the size of the turbines. Furthermore, by 2030 wind energy is expected to supply around 30% of EU’s power demand. Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity, since resources are abundant...Read more

An analysis of the expected climate change effects in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the environmental matrix in the context of climate change in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea. The main environmental parameters considered for analysis are wind and waves. The climatic wind fields provided by the Rossby...Read more

Anaerobic ammonium nitrogen oxidation and sulphate reduction in psychrophilic conditions
Przywara L.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Investigations of simultaneous removal of ammonium and sulphate were carried out in anaerobic laboratory bioreactor - upflow anaerobic filter (UAF). The bioreactor was filled with the anaerobic activated sludge from WWTP Bielsko – Biała. The process was operated in psychrophilic conditions...Read more

Do the weather conditions drive the spread of COVID-19? The Case of Greece
(Corresponding) Tounta D., Nastos P., Paraskevis D., Sarantopoulos A.
Topic:
Covid-19 effects on environmental aspects and urban life
The new global pandemic of COVID-19 declared on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization, has already caused unprecedented health and socio-economic impacts, worldwide. The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has been sweeping the Unites States of America and Europe since late September...Read more

Are emerging contaminants affecting drinking water microbial biofilms?
(Corresponding) Gomes I., Pinto I., Arruda V., Simões L., (Corresponding) Simões M.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
The presence of biofilms in drinking water (DW) distribution systems is unavoidable as well as the presence of trace levels of different emerging contaminants (ECs). ECs constitute a potential risk for the “One Health” trilogy. In particular, the presence of antibiotics in the environment has been...Read more
In-situ bioremediation of groundwater polluted with Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions
Galani A., Anastopoulou P., Noutsopoulos C., (Corresponding) Mamais D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The natural capacity of several microbes to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been considered of much interest in order to remediate soil and groundwater polluted with Cr(VI). The objective of this work is to evaluate the enhancement of the activity of indigenous Cr(VI) reducing bacteria by the addition...Read more
Marine biofilms development: the importance of hydrodynamic conditions and their impacts
(Corresponding) Romeu M., Morais J., Miranda J., de Jong E., Sjollema J., Vasconcelos V., Mergulhão F.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Biofouling is an ongoing concern in aquatic environments and marine applications, leading to environmental impacts, contamination of aquaculture facilities, surface corrosion, decrease of hydrodynamic performance in ships and significant economic losses. Cyanobacteria are early marine surface...Read more
A model-based study on the impact of different tree configurations on the thermal conditions of an urban square
Tseliou A., Koletsis I., Thoma E., Proutsos N., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Pantavou K., Tsiros I.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The number of studies on mitigation and adaptation strategies aiming at the improvement of the urban microclimate increased remarkably during the last decades. Most studies are focusing on the impact of various design layouts, on thermal environment and pedestrians’ thermal sensation. The present...Read more

Updating hydrologic studies and the impact on hydraulic design
(Corresponding) DANIIL E., MICHAS S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Flood events causing damages, fatalities, trigger new flood protection studies. Updated hydrologic study conforming with recent develop¬ments is required. Implementation of 2007/60/EU Directive led to Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment and Flood Risk Management Plans, establishment of related...Read more

Experimental studies of the course of CO2/CH4 exchange sorption on hard coal subjected to confining pressure.
(Corresponding) Skoczylas N.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Studies were carried out on exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 on four samples of hard coal differing in the degree of coalification. The samples were subjected to various confining pressures in the range from 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa. The author's conception of the measuring apparatus made it possible to...Read more
