A system dynamics model to quantify the impacts of restoration measures on the water-energy-food nexus in the Urmia lake Basin, Iran
Bakhshianlamouki E., Masia S., Karimi P., van der Zaag P., (Corresponding) Susnik J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water scarcity exacerbated by growing demand has created environmental, social, and economic challenges in the Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), Iran. Tackling these requires an integrated approach. A System Dynamics Model is developed simulating the water-energy-food nexus in the ULB as a holistic multi-...Read more

Perspectives, challenges and directions for future research into the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus
(Corresponding) Susnik J., Staddon C.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
In 2018, Albrecht et al. published a review of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus literature, coming to five main criticisms in nexus research. The five central conclusions of that review together with a consideration of on-going projects and recent nexus research insights form the basis for this...Read more
Investigating the water, energy, marine land use, food, climate interlinkages in marine environment
(Corresponding) Papadopoulou M., Vlachou A.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The conflicts observed in the marine environment between the installation of renewable energy production, aquaculture activities and tourism, highlight the need for a more coherent management. To this end, maritime spatial planning is being developed at the cross-sectoral level, so that human...Read more
Oxidation of waters containing caffeine was conducted by a sono-Fenton treatment employing an ultrasound power of 720 W at pH=3.0 and T=25°C. The catalytic action of ferrous ion was studied in a range of [Fe]=0-100.0 mg/L and oxidant concentrations between [H2O2]=0-250.0 mM. The oxidation of...Read more
Oxidation of carbamazepine by photo-Fenton treatment
Lomas J., (Corresponding) Villota N., Ferreiro C., Lombraña J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Oxidation of waters containing 50.0 mg L-1 of carbamazepine was conducted by a photo-Fenton reagent employing a UV lamp of 150W, at pH=3.0 and T=40°C. The oxidising action of hydrogen peroxide was studied in a range between [H2O2]0=0-15.0 mM. When applying stoichiometric ratios of 2 mol C15H12N2O:...Read more
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

Irrigation with reclaimed water containing Diclofenac and Lamotrigine induces stress reactions in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Bigott Y., Perez S., Manasfy R., Montemurro N., Chowdhury S., (Corresponding) Schröder P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Pharmaceuticals as contaminants in treated wastewater can become a serious problem for food safety when they are used for agricultural irrigation. These organic contaminants can be taken up by plants and trigger abiotic stress responses which can eventually affect plant growth and development. When...Read more
Effects of sunscreens on plants: Impact of TiO2 nanoparticles on the phytoremediation of oxybenzone
(Corresponding) Schröder P., Chen F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Increasing levels of sunscreens have been found in surface waters, and in waste water. In most cases mixtures of organic and inorganic sunscreen compounds can be detected. Wetland plants, and vegetation along shores have been used as biological filters for this kind of pollution along beaches, and...Read more
Support Structure Suitability for Offshore Wind Farms Development in Greece based on a Sustainable Site-Selection Framework
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Site-selection and spatial planning form a crucial step toward the successful development of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs). Deployment of wind turbines in different water depths has raised the issue of selection of the most suitable support structures. In this work, a well-structured site-selection...Read more

Red Mud as a Secondary Source of Scarce Metals - Recovery using Red Microalgae
Náhlík V., Čížková M., Singh A., Bišová K., Mezricky D., Rucki M., (Corresponding) Vítová M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Red mud is a by-product of the production of alumina from bauxite ore. Less than 2% of the red mud produced is currently being reused. The red mud contains a number of residual elements, some at a considerable concentration. The red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria was used to test the accumulation...Read more
