Coastal Inundation Integrated Modelling
(Corresponding) CHONDROS M., METALLINOS A., PAPADIMITRIOU A., KALPYRI M., MEMOS C., TSOUKALA V.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The present paper provides an integrated framework for modelling of coastal inundation, aiming to help coastal communities understand their risks and consequently to prevent the adverse effects to society. The proposed framework involves the implementation and coupling of a suite of sea state...Read more
Holocene record of palaeoclimatic impact in Epanomi coastal lagoon basin, Thermaikos Gulf, North Greece
(Corresponding) Chantzi P., Papadimitriou E., Aidona E., Kantiranis N., Doani S., Vouvalidis K., Almpanakis K.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Sediment cores of 4m were sampled in Epanoni coastal lagoon basin in Eastern Thermaikos Gulf. Within this study, we present results of Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) measurements and sedimentological analysis (XRD and grain-size distribution) for the first meter EP1-1 aiming to contribute to the...Read more
Disinfection byproducts and related compounds in the coastal zone: a preliminary compilation
Alexandropoulou S., (Corresponding) Nikolaou A., Vagi M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are formed whenever disinfectant ingredients contact organic matter. Due to widespread increase in production and use of disinfectants and antiseptics, the presence of their ingredients in coastal environments is increasing. However, very limited scientific literature...Read more

Simulating the fate of selected PAHs in Saronikos Gulf, Eastern Mediterranean, using a far-field water-quality model.
(Corresponding) Mazioti A., Kolovoyiannis V., Petalas S., Mamoutos I., Potiris E., Krasakopoulou E., Tragou E., Zervakis V.
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
Chatzipavlis A., Andreadis O., Psarros F., (Corresponding) Hasiotis T., Velegrakis A., Evagorou E., Loizidi M., Chrysostomou G.
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
