Improving aquaculture environmental footprint utilizing offshore renewable energy
(Corresponding) LILAS T., Antoniou E., Kotrikla A., Vatistas A., Dagkinis I.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The main environmental impacts of aquaculture include eutrophication, chemical pollution and harm to sensitive marine ecosystems. At the same time, the required energy leads to high emissions of greenhouse gases. Offshore wind turbines are a sector of renewable energy that grows rapidly. Offshore...Read more

Plastic Litter Project 2018: a feasibility study on detecting plastics in the aquatic environment using drones and satellite images
(Corresponding) Topouzelis K., Papakonstantinou A., Garaba S., Doukari M., Chatziantoniou A., Spondylidis S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Plastic litter has been shown to pose a significant problem in the marine environment and the food chain at all trophic levels. Within the scope of Plastic Project 2018, we investigated the prospective use of imaging technology on airborne and spaceborne platforms in detecting floating plastic...Read more
Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland
(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic:
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
Use of ornamental plants in floating treatment wetlands for greywater treatment in buildings: preliminary results
(Corresponding) Stefanatou A., Schiza S., Petousi I., Rizzo A., Masi F., Fyllas N., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs), have been recognized by many researchers for their efficiency in removing pollutants and thus improving wastewater quality. Despite their wide use for treating various types of wastewater, little is known about their efficiency in greywater treatment. In this...Read more
Floating wetlands as Nature-based Solutions for marine water pollution control in Mediterranean: Challenges and future perspectives
(Corresponding) Takavakoglou V., Pana E., Plakas K.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Mediterranean Sea is widely regarded as one of the most threatened environments in the world because of the high population densities, the lack of consistent waste-management schemes, the large influxes of tourists and the strategic merchant navigation. The growing environmental awareness of...Read more
