Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Effective flood management requires the priori assessment of the flood event, its consequences, and thus its risk, which give insight into what situations we expect and allow us to evaluate possible measures, including the implementation of an Early Warning System. In the present work, we briefly...Read more
National-scale environmental data analysis for shipping and transport: The National Research Infrastructure EN.I.R.I.S.S.T.

Evaluating flooding impact to riverine bridges. The case of the Historical Bridge of Arta in Epirus, Greece
(Corresponding) Panagiotatou E., Mitsopoulos G., Stamou A.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
ABSTRACT
Climate impacts are expected to intensify weather related flooding events that are the most common and damaging natural disaster. Riverine bridges are particularly prone to failure during floods and their disruption may impair significantly flood evacuation plans. Thus, in the design of...Read more
Removal of amoxicillin from processing wastewater by ozonation and UV-aided ozonation: a kinetic and economic comparative study
Ribeiro M., Ramos B., (Corresponding) de Castro Peixoto A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
A novel empirical and scaling up simulation study is presented for degradation and mineralization of real residue of amoxicillin (AMX) pharmaceutical formulation in wastewater. A set of UV-ozone-based experiments was used in the kinetics modeling of AMX, considering several chemical/photochemical...Read more
Groundwater Flow Dynamics in Shallow Coastal Plain Sands Aquifer, Abesan Area, Eastern Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria.
Joseph A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Thirty hand-dug wells were identified and evaluated to study the groundwater flow dynamics and anionic species distribution in the study area. Topography and water table levels method with the aid of Surfer were adopted in the delineation of six recharge and discharge zones correspondingly...Read more
Experimental studies of the course of CO2/CH4 exchange sorption on hard coal subjected to confining pressure.
(Corresponding) Skoczylas N.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Studies were carried out on exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 on four samples of hard coal differing in the degree of coalification. The samples were subjected to various confining pressures in the range from 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa. The author's conception of the measuring apparatus made it possible to...Read more

CO2/CH4 exchange sorption, experiments in reservoir conditions, swelling of coal at confining pressure
Effect of confining pressure on sorption parameters and structure of coal in terms of analyzing the possibility of underground CO2 storage with CH4 recovery.
(Corresponding) Pajdak A.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
An original apparatus was constructed, allowing observation of sorption processes occurring in hard coal briquettes. The investigations were carried out on four hard coals from Poland and France differing in the degree of coalification. The coal briquettes were subjected to confining pressure with...Read more
Laboratory studies of coal permeability under conditions corresponding to in situ, in terms of assessing the possibility of underground CO2 storage with CH4 recovery
(Corresponding) Kudasik M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Investigations of processes accompanying the exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 under confining pressure in the range of 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa have been carried out. The research was carried out on innovative apparatus for testing filtration, sorption and CO2/CH4 exchange sorption processes under isobaric...Read more
Relationship of satellite-derived atmospheric CH4 concentrations with agriculture sector CH4 emissions in Turkey
Ceylan E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
In this study, bottom-up annual CH4 emissions from agriculture (rice cultivation, enteric fermentation and manure) were calculated with the IPCC Tier 1 approach on county-level, and province totals were obtained for the first time in Turkey. Konya, which produces the highest annual CH4 emissions (...Read more
QSight-based method for the detection and quantification of polar contaminants in drinking water
(Corresponding) Mattern D., Stefan E., Becker T., Garaguso I.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
An analytical method covering various difficult polar contaminats such as chlorate, bromate, bromide, glyphosate and AMPA was successfully developed utilizing direct injection and ion exchange columns. Linearity could be obtained for each compound, with a dynamic range of 2-3 magnitudes and...Read more
