(Corresponding) Charitopoulou T., Vogiatzidaki E., Gkitzeni I., Malliaris M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
WEEE streams challenge the goals towards a circular economy, since WEEE contain valuable and scarce resources that could be prepared for a second life or recovered. In the framework of the project LIFE REWEEE (LIFE14 ENV/GR/000858), Hellenic Recycling Agency (HRA) aims to raise awareness among...Read more

Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more
