Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Rhodes Island, located in the southeastern Aegean Archipelagos. Coastal areas, extended sandy beaches, people’s hospitality, and adequate infrastructure are principal factors that have increased the touristic value of the island. The estimation of the Coastal Vulnerability Index is important, since...Read more

Assessing the role of Posidonia banquettes in coastline protection against erosion, through UAV technology and granulometric analysis: Preliminary results from the case of Schinias-Marathon National Park, Attica, Greece.
(Corresponding) Vandarakis D., Salomidi M., Gerakaris V., Issaris Y., Kourliaftis I., Agaoglou C., Kapsimalis V., Panagiotopoulos I.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Coastal environments and in particular beaches are valuable natural assets, offering a wide array of ecosystem services and economic benefits. In this study UAV technology with RTK-GPS is used in order to map in detail, the beach morphological characteristics, aiming to the impact of the presence...Read more
Comparative analysis of chlorinated intermediates formed during electrochemical and photo(electro)catalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol in saline media
(Corresponding) Brüninghoff R., van Duijne A., Braakhuis L., Saha P., Jeremiasse A., Mei B., (Corresponding) Mul G.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Formation of toxic by-products, such as chlorinated intermediates, is one of the major drawbacks of advanced oxidation processes for saline wastewater treatment. Here a comparative analysis of electrochemical oxidation and photocatalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol, a non-chlorinated starting...Read more
A comparison between the past and future expected wind conditions in the European coastal environment of the Mediterranean Sea
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the last years, exploitation of the wind power has been constantly increasing together with the size of the turbines. Furthermore, by 2030 wind energy is expected to supply around 30% of EU’s power demand. Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity, since resources are abundant...Read more

The expected dynamics of the wind conditions in the West Iberian nearshore, in the context of the climate change
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The target area of the present study is the western side of the Iberian coastal environment. Although not so high as in the North or the Baltic seas, the wind power potential can be considered significant in this nearshore. Furthermore, since this coastal environment is rich also in terms of other...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

Correction of the predicted wave characteristics using regression methods – a case study for the Iberian coastal environment
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The west Iberian coast is affected by various storms developed in the North Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, an accurate prediction of the sea state conditions is very important to manage the protection of the harbours and population living in the coastal cities. In recent years computing power has...Read more

Electrochemical Treatment of Landfill Leachate under Cold Climate Conditions
(Corresponding) Ambauen N., Meyn T., Hallé C., Muff J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study shows that electrochemical oxidation of landfill leachate (LL) is significantly affected by cold temperatures prevailing in Nordic climate areas. As hypothesized, the degradation of common wastewater parameters (TOC, COD) exhibited lower efficiency when low average temperature (13°C) was...Read more

Extended suspect screening to identify organic micropollutants and their transformation products as potential markers of wastewater contamination in riverine and coastal ecosystems
ČELIĆ M., JAEN A., BRICEÑO-GUEVARA S., RODRIGUEZ-MOZAZ S., (Corresponding) GROS M., PETROVIĆ M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
In this study, a comprehensive suspect screening of organic micropollutants (MPs), and some of their transformation products (TPs) and metabolites, was performed in waste, river and coastal waters from the Ebro Delta region (Catalonia, Spain). For this purpose, an automated suspect screening...Read more

Improvement of calculations of the total Characterization factor in the USEtox model including a regional approach
(Corresponding) Belyanovskaya A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The USEtox model as one of LCIA models is an instrument to characterize the human toxicity impact. The model measures the intake of metals by population with meat products. The USEtox is the only model including geographical separation and wide database with organic and nonorganic chemicals...Read more
