Dynamical downscaling of medium- and short-term climate series for assessing climate impacts on a world heritage site
(Corresponding) Antoniou A., Tsegas G., Moussiopoulos N.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
The present work utilizes two non-hydrostatic, mesoscale numerical weather forecast models, namely the Weather Research and Forecasting – Advanced Research WRF (WRF) model and the Mesoscale Model (MEMO), to dynamically downscale climatic series by performing high-resolution atmospheric simulations...Read more
Using CO2- induced magnesium carbonate as environmental friendly additives for petroleum decontamination sandy soils
(Corresponding) Abdeh Keykha H., Mavroulidou M., Mohamadzadeh H.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Chemical pollutants, including petroleum contaminations causes soil pollution due to improper transportation, leakage, or storage. Several methods for soil decontamination have been presented according to the type of soil and their level of pollution. In choosing the appropriate method and...Read more

The Phenomenon of Greenwashing In The Fashion Industry: A Conceptual Framework
Alizadeh L., (Corresponding) Liscio M., Sospiro P.
Topic:
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and circular economy
The fashion industry has one of the highest environmental, economic, and social impacts in the world. In recent times, awareness of sustainability issues has certainly increased, with companies making a real effort to reduce their impact. On the other hand, consumer awareness has also increased,...Read more
Many Engineering projects involve the authoring of repetitive documentation. On one key project that aimed to track clean water leakage from pipelines across a major city, this was the case. This project involved constructing chambers around clean water mains that enabled a tracking device to be...Read more

Biological Oxygen-dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC) filters - A bio-based treatment for wastewater reuse and reclamation
(Corresponding) Larasati A., Bernadet O., Pinela S., Meulepas R., Gagliano M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Water re-use from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluent has recently gained more attention. This effluent water usually contains nutrients and trace contaminants, such as organic micro-pollutants (OMPs). Conventional municipal WWTPs are not currently designed to completely remove...Read more
Evaluating the water quality of stormwater runoffs in urban area
(Corresponding) Yang F., Gato-Trinidad S., Hossain I.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
This paper presents the results of stormwater quality monitoring from four constructed wetlands located in residential and industrial catchments. Preliminary results revealed that pollutants’ types and concentrations vary depending on the catchments’ characteristics. It is found that the...Read more

Selection of bacterial strains to bioaugment granular sludge and improve the removal of recalcitrant pollutants
(Corresponding) Carlier J., Lara-Moreno A., Ngonyani A., Martins A., Villagomez A., Igbodo B., Cox C., Ismail F., Marín-Beltrán I., Palma T., Costa M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Several advantages are gained by the use of granular sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), such as higher biomass retention, faster settling properties, lower energy costs and smaller operational land space. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the biodegradation of...Read more
Cometabolic removal of ibuprofen, diclofenac and ciprofloxacin driven by glycerol fermentation in an acidogenic biofilm reactor
(Corresponding) Carneiro R., Gomes G., Zaiat M., Santos-Neto Á.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater has increasingly become a public health issue globally due to the potential impacts it can cause on the environment and public health. In this study, we sought to analyze the cometabolic effect of glycerol fermentation on the removal of ibuprofen (IBU...Read more
