Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of selected Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and predict their fate in the marine area of Saronikos Gulf. A three-dimensional model (Delft3D-FLOW) was used to simulate sea circulation and hydrographic variables (salinity, temperature...Read more
Lateral and vertical variations of pharmaceutical contaminants in natural aquatic systems
(Corresponding) Mariano S., Singh R., Angeles L., Aga D., Jaraula C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The detection of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in environmental matrices raised concerns over their short- and long-term effects on the ecosystem. Wastewater is the primary carrier of PPCPs to the environment in highly urbanized regions. In the Philippines, Manila Bay serves as...Read more
The Development and Implementation of an Environmental Coastal Observatory focused on semi-enclosed Gulfs
(Corresponding) Zervakis V., (Corresponding) Tragou E., Krasakopoulou E., Kolovoyiannis V., Mamoutos I., Androulidakis I., Mazioti A., Potiris E., Kougioumtzoglou R., (Corresponding) Mosiou K., Kalatzi M., Chaniotaki M., Chatzilaou C., Vagi M., Petalas S.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The recent post-Glacial Mediterranean sea-level rise converted mountain valleys to islandic embayments. These bays exhibit distinct hydrographic and biogeochemical characteristics, seasonally alternating thermohaline functioning and their coastal ecosystems support thriving coastal activities. The...Read more
Beach erosion due to climate change: evaluation and best mitigation practices in touristic beaches of North Aegean Islands and Cyprus – The methodological structure of BEACHTECH project
(Corresponding) Hasiotis T., Velegrakis A., Chadjimitsis D., Loizidi M.
Topic:
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
The expected relative sea level rise (RSLR) and changes in the intensity/ frequency of extreme sea levels pose a growing erosion threat to beaches, the most important natural resources of touristic islands. In the framework of the BEACHTECH project, the beaches of Lesvos and Chios Islands (NE...Read more
Morphological changes recorded from an automated beach optical monitoring system in a highly touristic pocket beach, Coral Bay, Pegeia, Cyprus

Topic:
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
This paper demonstrates preliminary results of a Beach Optical Monitoring System (BOMS) installed in Coral Bay Beach (Pegeia, Cyprus) in the framework of BEACHTECH project. The BOMS is deployed at the southern sector of Coral Bay, a pocket sandy beach of high touristic and economic importance for...Read more

Topic:
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
The coastal zone is a vital natural resource extensively used by the population for various activities. Given the human pressures and climate change, it is crucial to comprehend the modifications occurring in the coastal environment and its exposure to erosion. The InVEST Coastal Vulnerability...Read more

Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
