Average seasonal soil erosion and sediment deposition in the Aliakmon and Axios river catchments using the RUSLE model
Pataki Z., Patera A., Kontopoulos C., Karantanellis E., (Corresponding) Kitsiou D., Nitis T., Kostopoulou M., Grammalidis N., Tzepkenlis A., Charalampopoulou B.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Anthropogenic pressures in coastal areas are responsible for various problems that might cause degradation of their environmental status and limitations in the provision of their ecosystem services. In this framework, the assessment of soil erosion and sediment deposition is of major importance...Read more
Non-targeted screening workflows for gas chromatography – high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis to find and identify biomagnifying contaminants in biota samples
(Corresponding) Rebryk A., Haglund P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The health of key species in the Baltic region has been affected by exposure to anthropogenic hazardous substances (AHSs), which accumulate in organisms and are transferred through food chains. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive characterization of the occurrence and accumulation of AHSs...Read more
Electronic Navigational Charts Portrayal and S-100 Standard based Services for Environmentally Sensitive Sea Areas
Stilianos C., (Corresponding) Nakos B.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Data and information on the condition and variability of the marine environment are crucial for understanding changes that result from human activity, including the effects of human-induced climate change. Large quantities of marine related data are collected and stored globally for a wide variety...Read more

Interannual large-scale variability in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and interactions with the Aegean Sea
(Corresponding) Velaoras D.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The Mediterranean Sea and its eastern sub-basin are marginal oceanic basins subjected to strong anthropogenic and natural pressures. During the last decades new findings have revised the way of assessing the circulation and physical functioning of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Natural oscillations...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
Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
