An environmental database for the status of freshwater in Greece

by

Tsouni A., Zervos N., Hadjibiros K. and Andreadakis A.

General

An environmental database has been created, recording water bodies at a national level and assembling relevant data collected by various public services and institutions in charge of water resources management and research in Greece. Data consists of physico-chemical parameters, geomorphological...

ENVIRON: Environmental Impacts from Advanced Communications - Evidence from an Input-Output Theory

by

Bonazountas M., Panethimitakis A. and Kallidromitou D.

General

The ENVIRON model estimates environmental impacts (positive, negative) from the introduction and use of Advanced Communications (AC); Information Society Technologies (IST) in industrial, commercial and business sectors in Greece. The model estimates effects on output, employment, income...

Hydrochemical and Ecological Quality Assessment of a Mediterranean River System

by

Skoulikidis N.Th., Gritzalis K. and Kauvarda Th.

General

In order to explore the complex interrelations among the factors and processes that determine a rivers’ hydrochemical and biological quality, statistical techniques were applied to a variety of hydrochemical, petrologic, biological, habitat, hydrological and morphologic data from 16 sites of the...

Spatial prediction of two soil properties using topographic information

by

Kalivas D.P., Triantakonstantis D.P. and Kollias V.J.

General

The objective of this study was to determine whether the use of the co-regionalization of the distanceto- river topographic variable with the soil properties topsoil clay and sand can improve their mapping. The interpolation techniques: ordinary kriging, kriging combined with regression (two models)...

Coastal modelling with a GIS bathymetric module

by

Tsanis I.K., Naoum S. and Fullarton M.

General

A 3D hydrodynamic/pollutant transport model was used to simulate the currents and pollutant transport in coastal areas. The bathymetric and shoreline data was provided to the model via a GIS module that operates in the ArcView GIS environment. The module is efficient and capable of generating...

Sorption-desorption isotherms of dyes from aqueous solutions and wastewaters with different sorbent meterials

by

Voudrias E., Fytianos K. and Bozani E.

General

The ability of activated carbon and different low-cost by-products and waste material as sorbents to remove various reactive dyes from aqueous solutions and wastewaters was investigated. All aqueous dye solutions contained 2,000 mg l-1 NaCl, to mimic real dye wastewater. Batch kinetic and isotherm...

On the relation between sea surface and lower temperature over the northern hemisphere

by

Bartzokas A., Metaxas D.A. and Giles B.D.

General

In this work the covariability of sea surface and lower troposphere temperatures (SST-AT) is investigated for winter (DJFM) and summer (JJAS), over the whole northern hemisphere, by utilizing monthly anomalies in grid boxes for a 22-year period. Air temperature variations in the lower troposphere...

Degradation of phenol in wastewater using anolyte produced from electrochemical generation of brine solution

by

Azni Idris and Katayon Saed

General

This paper presents the degradation of phenol in wastewater using anolyte, which is generated from electrochemical activation process. Anolyte consists of reactive ions and free radicals, which contribute to its oxidizing behavior. The optimum conditions, which facilitate a complete degradation of...
