The role of sustainability rating systems in delivering infrastructure and building engineering’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Although overall drivers for climate change mitigation and adaptation are clear, it is often difficult for professionals working on infrastructure and buildings to assess what relevant action they should be taking in their designs and construction. In parallel, scientists working on construction or...Read more
The Intensity – duration (I-D) curves towards to a spatially distributed flood early warning tool (F-EWT)
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Attica region suffers from rainfall events of high intensity, inducing flash-floods and significant damages in the urbanized areas. This analysis concerns the determination of the maximum intensity-duration thresholds regarding flooding (F) or non-flooding (NF) regime, using the available...Read more

Mitigation of Microcystis sp. with metallic peroxide granules: matrix effect on hydrogen peroxide release kinetics and toxicity study on invertebrates
Keliri E., Christofi M., Efstathiou N., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
An array of mitigation strategies has been applied over the years for toxic blue-green algae with the most recent one to be hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide has been widely used as an alternative to copper algaecides, and it is perceived as a more environmentally friendly option for...Read more

Wastewater Treatment and Membrane Fouling Control Using an Algae-Activated Sludge Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor (AAS-SFDMBR)
Corpuz M., Castrogiovanni F., Senatore V., Borea L., Buonerba A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Hasan S., Ballesteros F., Napodano P., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Self-forming dynamic membrane bioreactors (SFDMBRs), which utilize formed biomass layer and large pore-size mesh/ support materials instead of conventional membrane materials, have been studied for wastewater treatment applications. The consortium of algae and activated sludge bacteria has also...Read more
Application of quorum quenching to improve performance of membrane bioreactors: A comprehensive mini-review
(Corresponding) Banti D., Kampouris I., Yiangou M., (Corresponding) Samaras P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used for wastewater treatment, presenting however a major disadvantage, the membrane fouling problem. The sludge microorganisms produce soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that lead to a formation of a sticky...Read more
Keywords:
Quorum quenching; Quorum sensing; Membrane biofouling; Membrane bioreactors; Biofilm mitigation
The research present a novel dynamic and embedded multi criteria methodology for the environmental monitoring and control of large-scale civil engineering works subjected to environmental impact assessment procedure. The principal phases are discussed and highlighted, along with the identification...Read more

Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.
Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more
Design of Road-Side Barriers to Mitigate Air Pollution near Roads
(Corresponding) Huertas J., Aguirre J., Lopez O., Lopez C.
Topic:
Air pollution
The effects of using solid barriers on the dispersion of air pollutants emitted from the traffic of vehicles on roads located over flat areas were quantified, aiming to identify the geometry that maximizes the mitigation effect of air pollution near the road at the lowest barrier cost. Toward that...Read more
Keywords:
CFD; near road emissions; solid barriers; gas-phase pollutants; air pollution mitigation
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
Artificial Neural Network prediction of citizens' climate mitigation perception related to urban green infrastructure: The Case of Drama City in Greece:
(Corresponding) KAZANA V., RAPTIS D., CHRYSANTHIDOU E., KAZAKLIS A., MOUMTZIDOU D., PAPADOPOULOU D.
Topic:
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Social perceptions and attitudes are important dimensions for the successful implementation of Green Infrastructure (GI) projects, as these are typically designed to improve environmental conditions and promote a green economy. This paper attempts to investigate social behavioral patterns of...Read more
