Deciphering Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) for the coastal areas of Rhodes Island and the possible impact on tourism
(Corresponding) Vandarakis D., Loukaidi V., Kyriakou K., Kyriakidou C., Gad F., Sourianos E., Kapsimalis V., Drakopoulou P., Kikaki A., Hatiris G., (Corresponding) Panagiotopoulos I., Chatzinaki M., Morfis I., Sioulas A.
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

Storm identification and assessment of potential impacts in Rhodes Island, Greece
(Corresponding) Gad F., Chatzinaki M., Vandarakis D., Kyriakidou C., Hatiris G., Kapsimalis V.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Coastal areas are highly dynamic systems, threatened by extreme meteorological phenomena, such as wave storms. Therefore, the analysis of storms is a key element in coastal management, as providing information for the assessment of potential hazards due to such events. In this study a...Read more
Fuzzy Relation Between The RDIst Index And The Water Table Of A Coastal Aquifer of Nestos Delta, Greece
(Corresponding) Papadopoulos C., Gkiougkis I., Spiliotis M., Pliakas F., Papadopoulos B.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Drought is a complicated natural extreme event associated with the decline of water availability below the normal conditions of a hydrological system, both from a temporal and from a spatial point of view. This work aims to assess the drought impacts on groundwater fluctuation in a shallow coastal...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
Mercury in the coastal waters of Greece under the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD)
Yfanti A., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Chalkiadaki O., Botsou F., Panagopoulou G., Stathopoulou E., Zeri C., Tzempelikou E., Dassenakis M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Mercury (Hg) is an environmentally hazardous metal and a priority element in Mediterranean environmental monitoring. Hg is a priority pollutant in the main pieces of European legislation pertaining to the marine environment (the Marine Strategy Framework Directive - MSFD and the Water Framework...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
Implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Cyprus focusing on the European MSPs’ good practices.
(Corresponding) Evagorou E., Mettas C., Tzouvaras M., Loulli E., Prodromou M., Papoutsa C., Themistocleous K., Danezis C., Pekri M., Kyriakidis P., Akylas E., Aliouris K., Ioannou N., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in each European country aims to bring together different public authorities and stakeholders to sustainably organize and map marine and coastal resources. The first step for the development of MSP was achieved successfully for Cyprus, through...Read more

Average seasonal soil erosion and sediment deposition in the Aliakmon and Axios river catchments using the RUSLE model
Pataki Z., Patera A., Kontopoulos C., Karantanellis E., (Corresponding) Kitsiou D., Nitis T., Kostopoulou M., Grammalidis N., Tzepkenlis A., Charalampopoulou B.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Anthropogenic pressures in coastal areas are responsible for various problems that might cause degradation of their environmental status and limitations in the provision of their ecosystem services. In this framework, the assessment of soil erosion and sediment deposition is of major importance...Read more
Nation-wide monitoring campaign of 49 contaminants of emerging concern in surface waters and sediments (EMNAT 2018): occurrence and PNEC exceedance evaluation
