Development of indicators for performance assessment of blue-green infrastructures
(Corresponding) Kretschmer F., Prenner F., Ertl T., Pucher B.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The application of blue-green infrastructures in urban areas incorporate various benefits and is thus widely accepted today. However, while aspects of planning and construction are well approved, operation and maintenance are still lacking broad attention. To contribute to the progress in the field...Read more

Social Acceptability of Offshore Wind Projects in Greece: Citizen Perspectives on Challenging Issues of Site-Selection Problem
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Lack of social acceptance remains a major constraint towards offshore wind project (OWP) deployment. The incorporation of local population perspectives and concerns into the site-selection process of OWPs can assist to overcome the respective barriers. In this work, an appropriately designed...Read more

Selective adsorption of multi-dye ions by Citrus Peel: Characterization, Performance, Regeneration
Şimşek İ., Bahadır T., (Corresponding) Çelebi H., Tulun Ş.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The irrefutable harmful components of wastewater originating from the textile industry are dyes. For this reason, it is accepted as an important environmental and health problem. A large number of natural adsorbents have been used for the efficient removal of industry-sourced dyes. In this study,...Read more
Environmental and economic assessment integrated into laboratory-based scenario development for the valorization of dredged sediment
(Corresponding) Soleimani T., Hayek M., Junqua G., Salgues M., Souche J.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This study discusses the potential environmental and economic benefits of dredged sediment valorization in concrete in the framework of the circular economy. The goal is to find a sustainable way to use the sediment in concrete while maintaining its strength and not compromising the economy or...Read more
