Fire-induced oxidation of Cr(III) in serpentine soils
(Corresponding) Botsou F., Vitzilaiou S., Guerra G., Valla P., Kelepertzis E., Dassenakis M., Argyraki A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Ophiolite rocks and their weathering products are the major hosts of Cr(III)-bearing phases in the Earth’s crust. Trivalent Cr is rather benign, but risks arise because of its potential for oxidation to the toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent form. Manganese oxides are the most effective natural...Read more
Daily Forest Fire Prediction modeling and Forest Fire Information System (FFIS)
(Corresponding) Apostolakis A., Girtsou S., Kontoes C.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Forest fires in recent years are becoming increasingly devastating for ecosystems, human lives and infrastructures as they follow the climate change impact. In this context the fire monitoring and risk prediction is crucial to support Civil Protection Agencies in charge of the protection of natural...Read more
