Improved LC/LU maps and flood models through crowdsourced information
(Corresponding) Tsiakos V., (Corresponding) Krommyda M., Tsertou A., Amditis A., Jonoski A., Popescu I., Assumpção T., Kopsinis Y.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
Flood risk prediction has been traditionally based on models that are developed from time-series of data collected over long periods of time from expensive and hard to maintain in situ sensors available only in specific areas.
Scent is a EU project which provides an integrated toolbox of smart...Read more
Water Security of rural water supply systems in super typhoon Haiyan affected areas
GOMBA F.
Topic:
Water and climate services - challenges and user-tailored developments
The rural water supply systems in the countryside necessitate sustainability and security assessment to ensure long-term and safe water supply to target beneficiaries. The objective of the study is to analyse the hidden threatening factors in water supply system and recommends sustainability and...Read more

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

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

Solid Waste Reuse in the Balkan-Mediterranean Region
(Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A., Arampatzis G., Alexopoulos A., Pantazopoulos A., Angelis V.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The wide implementation of circular economy and industrial symbiosis in the Balkan and Mediterranean region lags behind most of the other European countries. The economic crisis has had a significant impact to the local businesses, eliminating new investments. Regarding specifically solid waste,...Read more

Simulated effects of streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and the habitat suitability of freshwater macroinvertebrates
(Corresponding) Theodoropoulos C., Syrmou E., Karaouzas I., Gritzalis K., Stamou A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
We modelled the effects of flexible and rigid streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and macro-invertebrate habitat suitability in flows/discharges ranging from near-dry to floods, in the Oinoi Stream (Attica, Greece). Vegetation was mapped in spring and summer, simulated using two-dimensional...Read more
Forest Fire Sustainability: Numerical Simulation of a Pine Tree Thermal Response and the Thermal Radiative Phenomenon
(Corresponding) Conceição E., Gomes J., Lúcio M., Raposo J., Viegas D., Viegas M.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
This paper presents a numerical simulation of a pine tree thermal response and the thermal radiative phenomenon, in order to evaluate the forest fire sustainability. The three-dimensional pine tree model is made by 2289 cylindrical elements, with 1.8 m height, to represent its trunk, branches and...Read more

Dynamical downscaling of medium- and short-term climate series for assessing climate impacts on a world heritage site
(Corresponding) Antoniou A., Tsegas G., Moussiopoulos N.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
The present work utilizes two non-hydrostatic, mesoscale numerical weather forecast models, namely the Weather Research and Forecasting – Advanced Research WRF (WRF) model and the Mesoscale Model (MEMO), to dynamically downscale climatic series by performing high-resolution atmospheric simulations...Read more
