Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

An Agent-Based Modelling approach to assess risk in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Moraitis G., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The classic approach to risk assessment in civil engineering infrastructure (incl. water systems) often takes an incomplete view of the socio-technical system and its cyber-physical extensions, thus confining the ability to properly quantify the level of risk. To tackle this limitation and enhance...Read more

Cırcular Economy And Lıfe Cycle Assessment For Wıne Sector
(Corresponding) Matarazzo A., Villari E., Spadaro G., Vazzano A., Zerbo A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Wine production contributes to a variety of environmental loads, mainly due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides in the vineyard and to the production of glass bottles. Sicily, in particular, holds the record for the major production of wine in the South of Italy, favored by pedoclimatic...Read more

Risk analysis of pathogenic organisms during soil-aquifer treatment: application to a coastal aquifer in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Panagiotou C., Karaolia P., Papanastasiou P., Sprenger C.
Topic:
Water treatment
A quantitative microbial risk analysis of Ezousa (Cyprus) Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) site is presented herein to evaluate the health risks associated with the pathogenic fraction of three microorganisms: the bacterium Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), the Rotavirus and the protozoan Giardia...Read more
The Implementation of Risk Management processes as a contributing factor to the minimization of shipping disasters through the study of previous shipping accidents
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Environmental disasters can maliciously affect property, human lives and even entire ecosystems. The magnitude and extent of such a disaster can lead to uncertainty about who is liable and how the restoration of the environmental damage will be achieved. The implementation of Risk Management...Read more
Estimating Flood Risk at town scale: the case of the 2017 flash flood in Mandra, Greece.
(Corresponding) Bloutsos A., Diakakis M., Mitsopoulos G., Tsokanis K., Lekkas E., Baltas E., Stamou A.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Effective flood management requires the priori assessment of the flood event, its consequences, and thus its risk, which give insight into what situations we expect and allow us to evaluate possible measures, including the implementation of an Early Warning System. In the present work, we briefly...Read more
Investigation of the relationship between Hg speciation in soil and human health and ecological risk assessment
(Corresponding) SOUBASAKOU G., DAMIKOUKA I., ANAGNOSTOPOULOU K., CAVOURA O.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Mercury (Hg) pollution in soils can have major effects on human health and ecological systems. Concentrations, toxicological behaviour and bioavailability of different Hg species, both in the environment and in biological systems differ greatly, and are significa nt in the estimation of both human...Read more

Study of the Airflow Around the Occupants in a Virtual Chamber Equipped with Impingement Ventilation System
(Corresponding) Conceição E., Conceição M., Lúcio M., Gomes J., Ramos A., Awbi H.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The study of the airflow around the occupants in a virtual chamber equipped with impingement ventilation system is made. This numerical study is carried out using a coupling of an integral numerical model, that simulates human thermal response systems, and differential numerical model, that...Read more
