Paleolimnological approach infers past environmental changes archived in lake sediments of Bukit Merah Reservoir, Malaysia.

Akogwu S., (Corresponding) Wan Maznah W., McGowan S., Luki S., Fielding J.

Topic:

Ecological effects of environmental change

Human activities in the watershed of Bukit Merah Reservoir, have significantly increased, placing unprecedented pressure on this important system. However, long-term records of the ecological effects are scarce. Thus, this research aims to examine the impact of human-induced environmental change on...Read more

Retention potential of contaminants by (nano)magnetite in batch and microfluidic systems

(Corresponding) Papaslioti E., Tabuteau H., Vantelon D., Le Bouteiller P., Greneche J., Fernández Martínez A., Charlet L.

Topic:

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

(Nano)magnetite (Fe3O4) has been suggested to be a significant reductant for contaminants due to its great adsorption capacity and ability to retain metals on its high specific surface. Its use has become an emerging technology for the treatment of contaminated land and water with a great potential...Read more

Comparative analysis of WtE technologies based on multiple criteria analysis and life cycle considerations

Mertzanakis C., (Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C.

Topic:

Waste strategies development

Nowadays, a range of alternative options and technologies for Waste to Energy are currently available and analytically discussed in the effort to promote energy production and rational waste management. In this paper, a generic methodological scheme is proposed for the comparative analysis of WtE (...Read more

Contemporary assessment of International Maritime Organization’s Carbon Intensity Indicator requirement on tanker vessels’ chartering and employability prospects

(Corresponding) Grapsas N.

Topic:

Transportation and the environment

Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is one of the measures adopted by International Maritime Organization (IMO) in June 2021 during the 76th session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) for the reduction of carbon intensity of international shipping, taking effect from January 1, 2023...Read more

Assessing the implications of IMO 2020 on tanker vessels’ chartering and employability prospects with a focus on the installation of SOx Scrubbers

(Corresponding) Grapsas N., Vlachos G.

Topic:

Transportation and the environment

As from January 1, 2020 the limits, which were coined as IMO 2020, of sulphur in fuel oil used on board vessels operating outside emission control areas was reduced from 3.50% m/m (mass by mass) to 0.50% m/m. Those limits are set out in Annex VI of the International convention for the Prevention of...Read more

CARRYING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT OF THE SOUTH AEGEAN REGION, GREECE

(Corresponding) Vandarakis D., Malliouri D., Petrakis S., Kapsimalis V., Moraitis V., Hatiris G., Panagiotopoulos I.

Topic:

Spatial environmental planning

Since the early 1950’s Greece has been a top travel destination providing high-quality tourism services. This was amplified by the diverse landscape, extended sandy beaches, numerous archaeological sites, people’s mentality, safety, and adequate infrastructure. In particular, the south Aegean...Read more

Water centrality to enabling water-energy-food systems

(Corresponding) Susnik J., Masia S., Teutschbein C.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

Water is a key enabler of global water-energy-food nexus systems. The role of water in energy generation and its role in food provision, is made explicit. These are aspects that are often overlooked, or ‘embedded’ in assessments, skimming over the critical role that water plays in societal-enabling...Read more
