50-year precipitation trends in Nestos Delta-Natura 2000 site
(Corresponding) Proutsos N., Korakaki E., Bourletsikas A., Karetsos G., Tsagari K., Georgiadis C.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Nestos Delta (north Greece) is a complex ecosystem of high ecological importance, protected by the European Union as a Natura 2000 site. The presence of the habitats 3170* and 91E0*, which are highly connected with water resources availability, impose the continuous monitoring of precipitation in...Read more
Development of Porous Carbon Nanomaterials from Petroleum Waste for CO2 Capture and Mineralization
(Corresponding) Jalilov A., Albaiz A., Alsaidan M.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Herein we report on developing mineral
carbonization technology using porous carbons from
vacuum residue to generate products that are best
suited economically for CO2 sequestration.
Activating of vacuum residue using activation
reagent as Ca(OH)2 and MgO mixed with KOH gives
a porous...Read more

Potential Links between Precipitation and Anthrax Outbreak at North-West Siberia
(Corresponding) Ezhova E., Orlov D., Malkhazova S., Drozdov D., Gennadinik V., Kaverin D., Zilitinkevich S., Kerminen V., Petäjä T., Kulmala M.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
West Siberia is a region subject to fast warming and unstable precipitation regime. In 2016, the most devastating anthrax outbreak in seventy years occurred in the northern part of the region. A working hypothesis suggests that permafrost thawing led to an exposure of old infected carcasses. We...Read more
Revision of the Scarcity State Indicator in the Spanish Drought Management Plans
(Corresponding) Palop-Donat C., Paredes-Arquiola J., Andreu-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Droughts are one of the gravest natural threats currently existing in the world and their occurrence and intensity might be exacerbated due to Climate Change. Scarcity is defined as the period when demand does not accomplish the normal reliability levels due to poor water management. Water and...Read more

Meteorological Data Science: exploiting causality discovery in time-series for knowledge discovery and improved forecasting
Gkikas A., (Corresponding) Maragoudakis M.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Climate change and its impact on everyday life still remains one of the greatest challenge of our era. The complex nature of climate data addresses the use of data science techniques to provide predictive analytics to the task at hand. While most existing approaches exploit correlation between...Read more

Effects of Cr(VI)-contaminated irrigation water on growth and development of selected crop species
Georgiadou E., Zissimos A., Christoforou I., Christofi C., Fotopoulos V., (Corresponding) Christou A.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
Chromium (Cr) is a metal well-known to cause environmental pollution due to its association with a number of industrial processes involving leather, steel, electroplating, chemicals, dyes and paints. It is toxic to plants and microorganisms, and its study is attracting a lot of attention due to its...Read more
The effect of intercrop on soil properties of an agroforestry system in Kea -Greece
(Corresponding) Pantera A., Papadopoulos A., Fotiadis G., Kapsalis D., Pinelopi P., Papaspyropoulos K.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Valonia oak is the most widespread tree species found in the Aegean island of Kea - Cyclades. It forms traditional agroforestry systems since intensive agriculture is not easily practiced in the island due to the xerothermic climate and the rough terrain with steep slopes. This system has...Read more
Phase Diagram Modelling of a Multi-component Aqueous Solution of Katwe Salt Lake, Uganda
(Corresponding) Lwanyaga J., Kasedde H., Kirabira B.
Topic:
Desalination
A methodology is developed to compute the phase diagram of a hexary system and to determine the mineral precipitation sequence upon removal of water. The methodology is applied to construct the phase diagram and precipitation sequence of the system (〖Na〗^+,K^+)(〖Cl〗^-,〖SO〗_4^(2-),〖CO〗_3^(2-)...Read more
(Corresponding) PAPADOPOULOS A., Pantera A., Burriel C., Nouallet G., Herdon M., Tamás J., Lamaison M., Musquar C., Seeman M., Atanassova S., Grozeva N., Escural J., Fico F., Devernay S., Levasseur E., Lavoyer S., Balaguer F., Papanastasis V., Mantzanas K., Fotiadis G.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Agroforestry is a traditional land use system that may represent the answer to many present and future environmental problems. However, many farmers who practice agroforestry do not identity it as agroforestry nor even accept such identification. So far, there is not an organized training method on...Read more
Environmental and Economic Life Cycle Inventory of Brussels sprouts
Rubio-Sánchez M., (Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This investigation describes de material, energy and monetary inventories required to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of Brussel sprouts produced in Mexico and consumed in the USA. This data was supplied by a company operating in Mexico as a first step in the production of a LCA...Read more
