Equilibrium strategies for forest restoration via an approach based on dynamic games

El Ouardighi F., Gnecco G., Khmelnitsky E., (Corresponding) Sanguineti M.
Topic: 
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
It is investigated whether forest restoration should be the responsibility of the forest owners or the non-owners from both social welfare and environmental perspectives. Two types of countries are considered: one where the forest owner profits from deforestation - the “deforester” - and another...Read more

A 50-Year Meta-analysis review of metal pollution in sediments of the N. Saronikos Gulf, Salamina Straits.

Gkaragkouni A., Dimas X., Christodoulou D., Sergiou S., Geraga M., (Corresponding) Papatheodorou G.
Topic: 
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Saronikos Gulf encounters the highest environmental challenges due to heavy metal contamination, among Greece’s coastal areas. In the present study fourteen scientific papers published from 1974 to 2024 were chosen, from online databases, for meta-analysis review. The mean values of heavy metals...Read more

Nanotechnology advances in photocatalytic reactors for water treatment and wastewater reuse

Theodorakopoulos G., Tsoukleris D., Athanasekou C., Romanos G., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Innovative and scalable photocatalytic reactors have been developed for the degradation of pesticides in agro-industry and the disinfection of effluents from municipal waste water treatment plants. The reactors (slurry batch reactor, or membrane reactor) are working under continuous flow conditions...Read more

Winemaking Wastewater Treatment: Hydrodynamic Cavitation and Coagulation-Flocculation

(Corresponding) Ayedi K., Cecchini F., Innocenzi V., Ippolito N., Mazziotti di Celso G., Prisciandaro M.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Winery wastewater poses significant environmental risks due to high concentrations of organic and inorganic compounds. This study examines the treatment of wastewater from the "Torre di Morro" winery using hydrodynamic cavitation and coagulation-flocculation processes. Cavitation at 3 bar...Read more

Shallow coastal litter in South Aegean Sea islands: abundance and sourcing

(Corresponding) Kontos A., Campanos D., Kouvara K., Geraga M., Xirotagarou P., Papatheodorou G.
Topic: 
3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
The problem of marine litter has garnered increasing scientific, governmental and civilian attention in the last 20 years due to its severe environmental, economic and logistical impacts. Coastal and islandic regions with high touristic value, are particularly vulnerable to said impacts. Diver-led...Read more

Economic analysis and environmental impact of anti-corrosive protection systems in a full-scale aeronautical fuselage part from aluminium – copper – lithium alloy

Roussis P., Vasileiou E., Lazaridou I., Karanika A., Skarvelis P., Vourdas N., (Corresponding) Alexopoulos N.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
A standard corrosion protection system for aluminium alloys for the aerospace sector typically involves anodization—forming a protective oxide layer on the alloy surface—followed by the application of a coating through spray painting. Hexavalent chromium has traditionally been employed in both...Read more

Performance of Sequencing Batch Reactors For The Treatment of High Ammonium Concentration Landfill Leachate

Lu P., (Corresponding) Glasgow G., Lay M.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The contaminated liquid produced from rainfall seeping through the layers of waste in domestic landfill sites is known as leachate. Leachate from landfills is high in nitrogen content, mostly as ammonium, and is typically disposed of by transportation to a domestic wastewater treatment plant at a...Read more

Advanced and integrated multiparametric tool for proactive and continuous environmental monitoring and control of surface water bodies in sensitive areas

Leva L., Mariniello A., Giuliani S., Russo M., De Riso L., Aloia A., Romano G., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Zarra T.
Topic: 
9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
Surface water bodies (SWBs) play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and supporting global environmental health. However, they are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures such as water withdrawals, pollutant discharges, and land-use changes. Currently, there is no globally...Read more

From site-specific to the next day: transferring local knowledge to climate resilient management – NECCA paradigm

(Corresponding) Grigoriadou E., Roussos O., Voudouri A., La Jeunesse I., Hatzilacou D., Papadopoulou L., Papadopoulou M.
Topic: 
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Constructive local participation is crucial for the effective governance of protected areas (PAs) in Greece, for which NECCA is the competent authority. In the framework of the H2020 ARSINOE project, NECCA has conducted workshops in the area of Prespa Lakes, focusing on climate adaptation...Read more
