Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & Indicators: Managing Drylands under Climate Change Conditions
Potamianou N., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou C., Papadopoulou M., Charchousi D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The future sustainable development constitutes a critical issue at a global scale. It builds upon the concepts of combating poverty & inequality, mitigating climate change impacts as well as protecting natural & cultural resources through innovation & adoption of eco-friendly solutions...Read more
The climate change and relevant negative impacts are currently widely discussed topic. The agricultural soil erosion represent the risks generated also by agricultural activities reflected in soil quality. Rapid climate change can cause the instability of most agricultural and forest ecosystems...Read more

Livestock Greenhouse Gases emissions and its contribution to Climate Change. The case study of a Cyprus cow farm
LOIZIA P., (Corresponding) VOUKKALI I., ZORPAS A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Human population is expected to increase from 7.8 to 9.4 billion by 2050. At the same time the demand for agricultural products will increase by about 50-70%. As a result, there is a growing awareness that rapid growth in global production and consumption of livestock products is contributing to...Read more
Integrating Seaport Infrastructure Monitoring Approaches to Improve Smartness and Climate Adaptive Capacity
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Sartampakos P., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in an attempt to deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or with...Read more
Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis for Climate Change Adaptation in Greece
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Katsiardi P., Chioti D., Sebos I., Assimacopoulos D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Stakeholder mapping and analysis is essential in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects to assess and identify the needs of stakeholders (SHs). For the mapping of actors involved in adaptation planning and implementation in Greece, a multi-criteria analysis is followed.
The SHs involved in CCA...Read more
Environmental Monitoring from Space & Geoinformation through the Excelsior H2020 Teaming Project
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras M., Papoutsa C., Mamouri R., Nisantzi A., Mettas C., Evagorou E., Prodromou M., Loulli E., Melillos G., Akylas E., Danezis C., Kyriakides P., Themistocleous K., Schreier G., Kontoes H., Ansmann A., Bühl J., Komodromos G., Hadjimitsis D.

Development of an urban resilience indicator for Athens in the context of climate change
(Corresponding) Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Cartalis C.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Urbanization interacts with climate change through the way cities are organized and built (land cover/ land use, urban morphology). Increased energy consumption and consequently CO2 emissions, combined with emissions from city functions (urban metabolism, anthropogenic heat sources) intensify urban...Read more
Studies on the CO2 adsorption mechanism of Na-X and Na-Ca-X coal fly ash zeolites
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Lazarova H., Zgureva D., Popova M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal fly ash zeolites (CFAZ) of Na-X and Na-Ca-X types were synthesized using as raw materials fly ashes generated by the combustion of lignite from various deposits with low and medium limestone content. It has been found that CFAZs with higher calcium content superior those containing less...Read more
Studies on the CO2 adsorption onto coal fly ash zeolites at elevated pressures
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal fly ash zeolites (CFAZs) of Na-X type were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted double stage fusion-hydrothermal synthesis from lignite coal fly ash at two different fusion temperatures 550 and 800 C. The detailed surface analyses were performed experimentally using N2 physisorption technique and...Read more
Dairy farms management and carbon storage in the soil fractions
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Miranda M., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The dairy sector is one of the main economic activities in the Spanish region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the country. In dairy farms, the type of farm management has a clear effect on climate change mitigation by modifying crucial processes such as carbon storage in the soil. This...Read more
