Assessing Climate Change Impacts in the Tana Basin, Ethiopia
(Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A., Khadim F., Dokou Z., Lazin R., Anagnostou E.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
Climate change effects on long-term groundwater (GW) resource developments in the Tana Basin, Ethiopia, are a growing concern. To address this we deployed a fine-resolution (500 m) GW model using MODFLOW-NWT for the Tana Basin, Upper the Blue Nile region. The GW model was calibrated based on 98...Read more

Circular Cities: Challenges and Opportunities towards their transition to a green, smart and circular economy.
Liogkas V.
Topic:
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and circular economy
Cities cover 3% of the land on Earth, however with more than 70% of the population expected to live in urban areas by 2050 they drive almost three-quarters of GHG emissions. They account for two-thirds of global energy demand, consume 60-80% of natural resources and generate 50% of waste.
Urban...Read more
