Strategic Spatial Planning for Green Infrastructure. The case of the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki
Sagovits S., (Corresponding) Pozoukidou G.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Intense and varying environmental challenges have become one of the most pressuring goals that contemporary cities struggle to meet. Climate change, excessive urbanization and fragmentation of space are just some of the issues that contemporary cities are called to respond to. Thus, finding an...Read more

Solar photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical compounds using ZnSnO3/CB composites
Kouvelis k., Petala A., (Corresponding) Frontistis Z., Kondarides D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, the activity of ZnSnO3 as a photocatalyst for the degradation of persistent micro–pollutants under simulated solar irradiation has been assessed. Zinc stannate (ZnSnO3), belongs to the class of ternary oxides and has a reported band gap of 2.4 eV. Due to its narrow band gap can be...Read more
Heterogeneous activation of persulfate by LaSrNiGaO3
Kouvelis K., Petala A., Bampos G., (Corresponding) Frontistis Z., Kondarides D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In recent years, scientists in the field of environmental management and protection, have not only detected but also quantified a large number of pharmaceuticals in treated wastewater, surface and groundwater. In order to address this problem, intensive research is carried out to develop effective...Read more
Offshore windfarm siting in Greece using GIS and TOPSIS
SPYRIDONIDOU S., (Corresponding) VAGIONA D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The deployment of offshore wind power technologies is becoming increasingly important towards the sustainable development of regions. In Greece, wind energy is provided at the time being, only by onshore plants and the interest in investigating the top choices for offshore wind applications in...Read more
Onshore wind farm siting and energy carrying capacity in the municipality of Aristotle in Chalkidiki – Greece
Drepaniotis I., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Wind power is one of the most environmentally friendly Renewable Energy Sources, as well as one of the rapidly growing and economically viable forms of renewable energy. Today's wind turbines can be considered as a mature and cost-effective technology with reasonable efficiency rates and high...Read more

Site selection of hybrid solar/wind renewable energy systems: A case study from Andros, Greece
Bili A., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The combination of two or more forms of Renewable Energy Sources at the same spatial scale is a highly promising sector, resulting in an increase in the number of installations of hybrid RES systems. In Greece, where abundant resources such as wind and sun are available, the combination of these...Read more

A qualitative assessment of Environmental Impact Studies in Greece
Mimikos L., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a proactive methodical process that investigates and predicts the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of a proposed project/activity on various environmental components, ideally from project/activity initiation to decommissioning. The output of...Read more
(Corresponding) Vagiona D., Tzekakis G., Loukogeorgaki E., Karanikolas N.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Climate change and its environmental effects have raised the need to use mild forms of energy. Solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines are by far the biggest drivers of the rapid increase in renewable energy electricity generation. There are several technologies of photovoltaic systems such as...Read more
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an emerging contaminant
(Corresponding) Toskos T., Panagiotakis I., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
PFAS compounds are ubiquitous in the environment and in consumer products. Unlike other emergent contaminants this is a family of compounds with, literally, thousands of compounds. Our knowledge of toxicological and environmental fate and transport properties is an evolving field. On the other hand...Read more
CONTAMINATED SOIL MANAGEMENT IN GREECE: EU AND INTERNATIONAL BEST AVAILABLE PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Corresponding) Panagiotakis I., Strompoula E., Dermatas D., Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Contaminated soil management is one of the most rapidly developing environmental protection subjects. Unlike most EU countries, Greece does not have a robust Soil Strategy and as a result a Contaminated Soil Management Framework. Currently in Greece, contaminated soil management is part of the...Read more
