Design-based and model-based estimations of distribution and abundance of dolphin populations in Gulf of Corinth, Hellas
(Corresponding) Karamitros G., Giantsis I., Martsikalis P., Kavouras M., Exadactylos A.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In recent years a major scientific effort has been focused on the protection of marine mammals. Gulf of Corinth is part of the Natura 2000 network (GR2530007) since 2016, with Special Areas of Conservation and constitutes an important habitat for striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), bottlenose...Read more

Wastewater treatment and emerging contaminants removal in electro membrane bioreactor using self-forming dynamic membranes
(Corresponding) CASTROGIOVANNI F., BOREA L., Millanar-Marfa J., Napodano P., Balakrishnan M., Ballesteros F., Hasan S., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In recent years, the technical-scientific community has been paying increasing attention to the presence of emerging contaminants that are intercepted in surface water and wastewater since these compounds could have harmful effects on human health and on environment too.
Conventional wastewater...Read more

The development of a Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model in Akamas National Forest Park in Cyprus, using Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite data
(Corresponding) Prodromou M., Danezis C., Gitas I., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The canopy of trees plays a very important role in forest ecosystems and acts as a regulator, affecting the microclimate and the soil conditions. The density of the forest canopy is associated to the forest development and it can be used as an indicator of forest degradation. Additionally, forest...Read more
Pilot-scale membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment using innovative encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane
Castrogiovanni F., Borea L., HASAN S., Belgiorno V., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The use of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a promising technique for wastewater treatment that manages to respect the restrictive limits imposed by regulations.
However, during the filtration process membranes are subject to fouling which requires additional costs for cleaning and replacing the...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
