How to identify a representative subset of hydro-climatic simulations for impact modelling studies?
(Corresponding) PECHLIVANIDIS I., Gupta H., Bosshard T.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Uncertainties in hydro-climatic projections are (in part) related to different components of the modeling chain. Although a combination of numerous projections (ensemble) would be needed to characterize the overall uncertainty, in practice a small set of scenario combinations are constructed to...Read more

Tissue-specific TfR expression in organs of immature mice after chronic exposure to CoCl2
Gluhcheva Y., Petrova E., (Corresponding) Pavlova E., Tinkov A., AJSUVAKOVA O., Rashev P., Vladov I., Skalny A.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The wide use of cobalt (Co) due to anthropogenic and industrial activities has increased its concentration in the environment in the last years. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) is the most commonly used agent in experimental models for inducing chemical hypoxia. The present study was designed to elucidate...Read more

Numerical simulation of CO2-brine-rock interactions on CO2 sequestration in Shihezi Formation of Ordos Basin in China
(Corresponding) Liu B., Li Z., Fu X.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the best way of reducing carbon emissions under existing technological conditions, is attracting more and more attention. Although experiments can explore chemical process of CO2 sequestration, it is limited in time scale. CO2 geological storage will last...Read more

Simulating nutrient loads in an intensively cultivated Mediterranean watershed under current and projected climate conditions
(Corresponding) Pisinaras V., Kamidis N., Koutrakis E., Hatzigiannakis E., Panagopoulos A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
On the global scale, agriculture constitutes the most significant non-point pollution source for surface water bodies, especially in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus. Located in northeastern Greece, Vistonis basin constitutes the area that discharges into Vistonis estuarine system, which is very...Read more
DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUOUS, LINEAR MODELS FOR MARINE BENTHIC MACROPHYTES DESCRIPTION
(Corresponding) TZOUVARAS N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The European Water Framework Directive has fostered indicator development, pertinent to biological quality elements, for ecological status assessment of coastal waters. For seaweed communities, the CFR index considers composition, abundance and physiological status, through four constituents (...Read more

An Assessment of Soil Erosion using RUSLE Model: A Case Study from the Marmara Region
Ezer A., (Corresponding) Güven B.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Soil resource is essential for livelihood of human being. Soil erosion is one of the most serious natural problem affected by land degradation, agricultural and other human induced activities, such as climate change, particularly the changed precipitation trend. The aim of the study is applying the...Read more

Bio-Based Phosphate Functionalized Activated Carbon From Indian Gooseberry Seed Shells For The Efficient Copper (II) Adsorption
(Corresponding) Mondal S., Majumder S.
Topic:
Water treatment
Preparation of an efficient activated carbon for the removal of metal pollutants is a challenging research today. The characteristic features of an efficient phosphate functionalized activated carbon, synthesized by following chemical activation process followed by subsequent functionalization from...Read more
Municipal solid waste management in island communities: existing experience and implementation possibilities for South Aegean Islands
Xanthopoulos P., (Corresponding) Papapostolou C., Kondili E., Stylianopoulou K.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Solid waste management in island communities is triggered by the limitation in the availability of resources, which in combination to the small amounts of wastes produced, renders the selection and sizing of the appropriate methods and infrastructures very challenging. Certain complexity to the...Read more
Keywords:
Municipal solid waste management; island communities; scale of capacities; synergetic model
Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more

Water Framework Directive, marine benthic macrophytes, CFR model, RPI approach for EEI model
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
