Assessment of Concrete Footpath Upheavals in Heatwaves
(Corresponding) Bradford M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Most concrete footpaths are cast without steel reinforcement and in segments between bituminous joints, with the joints intended to accommodate thermal expansions (and contractions) of the pavement. However, a combination of prolonged heatwave conditions and the ingress over time of material into...Read more
An analysis of the expected climate change effects in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the environmental matrix in the context of climate change in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea. The main environmental parameters considered for analysis are wind and waves. The climatic wind fields provided by the Rossby...Read more

Reactivation of former watercourses to support urban stormwater management
Simperler L., Glanzer M., Ertl T., (Corresponding) Kretschmer F.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
In recent decades many urban water courses have been heavily modified by land gaining measures aiming at canalising, straightening and draining existing water systems. Additionally, urbanisation causes a higher degree of sealing which results in higher surface runoff during rainfall. Today, in many...Read more
The role of sustainability rating systems in delivering infrastructure and building engineering’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Although overall drivers for climate change mitigation and adaptation are clear, it is often difficult for professionals working on infrastructure and buildings to assess what relevant action they should be taking in their designs and construction. In parallel, scientists working on construction or...Read more
A web-based GIS tool for environmental footprint estimation of agribusinesses
(Corresponding) Hliaoutakis A., Papadopoulos S. N., Kydonakis A., Doula M., Papadopoulos N., Sarris A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The deterioration of environmental quality and vulnerability to climate change of the Balkan Peninsula are escalated by the lack of specific financial and strategic measures that can promote sustainable resource management. Environmental problems of the Balkan countries need to be addressed under a...Read more

THE INFLUENCE OF DANUBE RIVER HYDROGRAPHIC AND THERMIC FACTORS ON FISH STOCKS DYNAMICS IN RAZIM-SINOE LAGOON SYSTEM
Chioveanu C., (Corresponding) Simionov I., Patriche N., Tenciu M., Dragomir E., Oprea L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The Romanian fishing areas extends over 7000 km2 and 50% of the numbers of authorised fishers conduct their activities in the Danube areas. Inland fisheries are highly important for income, food security and nutrition. Inland peri-rural fisheries face degradation due to climate change. According to...Read more

Heat of adsorption in the fly ash zeolite – CO2 system at dynamic conditions
Zgureva D., (Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Miteva S., Asenov A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The global warming represents one of the main world problems in the recent decades as it is considered that electricity production by coal burning is responsible for 40 % of the total CO2 emissions. The post-combustion capture of CO2 based on physical adsorption has the highest potential for...Read more

Thermal swing adsorption for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D., Miteva S., Marinov I., Lazarova H., Popova M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The advantages of post-combustion capture of CO2 based on physical adsorption have been extensively studied in the last years regarding to the economy, environmental compatibility, and process’ efficiency. The industrialization of the process involves the construction of adsorption columns in which...Read more

Comparative studies of the equilibrium adsorption of CO2 onto coal ash zeolites Na-X and Na-Ca-X
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Miteva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) are the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, but they also generate huge amounts of solid by-products, including fly ash (FA). A modern strategy for sustainable energy production is to improve the ecology of the TPPs by developing...Read more

Coal ash zeolite as a self-catalytic-chemisorption system for conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
At present, the developments of sustainable carbon capture technologies are of the main scientific and technological priority required to mitigate the over generation of greenhouse gases. Three CO2 clean energy production approaches have been outlined: pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion...Read more
