For the first time in Attica, seismiC and gravity geopbysical methods were applied along profiles, in such an extensive scale. Within the ji-amework of this investigation the following tasks were accomplished: a) Three (3) seismic lines of about 30 kilometres oftotal length, two (2) in the area of Thriassiol1 plain and one (1) along the Parnitha-Krioneri-Drosia-Ekali-Dionysos (L'r;is (Attica plain) and b) 338 gravity measurements distributed along eight (8) gravity profiles, four (4) of which in Thriassion plain, three (3) in Petroupoli-Aharnes- Thrakomakedones region (Attica plain) and one (1) along Parnitha-Krioneri-Drosia-Ekali-Dionysos axis (At­ tica plain).

  • Registration Certificate
    1 The following information has been supplied by the Greek Aliens Bureau: It is obligatory for all EU nationals to apply for a “Registration Certificate” (Veveosi Engrafis - Βεβαίωση Εγγραφής) after they have spent 3 months in Greece (Directive 2004/38/EC).This requirement also applies to UK nationals during the transition period. This certificate is open- dated. You only need to renew it if your circumstances change e.g. if you had registered as unemployed and you have now found employment. Below we outline some of the required documents for the most common cases. Please refer to the local Police Authorities for information on the regulations for freelancers, domestic employment and students. You should submit your application and required documents at your local Aliens Police (Tmima Allodapon – Τμήμα Αλλοδαπών, for addresses, contact telephone and opening hours see end); if you live outside Athens go to the local police station closest to your residence. In all cases, original documents and photocopies are required. You should approach the Greek Authorities for detailed information on the documents required or further clarification. Please note that some authorities work by appointment and will request that you book an appointment in advance. Required documents in the case of a working person: 1. Valid passport. 2. Two (2) photos. 3. Applicant’s proof of address [a document containing both the applicant’s name and address e.g. photocopy of the house lease, public utility bill (DEH, OTE, EYDAP) or statement from Tax Office (Tax Return)]. If unavailable please see the requirements for hospitality. 4. Photocopy of employment contract.

    UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.367/1 3 December 2011 ENGLISH MEDITERRANEAN ACTION PLAN Meeting of the Network on Compliance and Enforcement Athens, 15-16 November 2011 REPORT OF THE MEETING OF THE NETWORK ON COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS FOR THE CONTROL OF POLLUTION RESULTING FROM LAND-BASED ACTIVITIES In cooperation with WHO UNEP Athens, 2011 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Report 1-9 Annex I: List of participants Annex II: Agenda of the meeting Annex III: Programme of the meeting Annex IV: Presentation of country reports Annex V: Effective indicators included in the reporting format adopted by the 15th meeting of the Contracting Parties in Almeria Annex VI: Collaboration with GEF and proposed workplan UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.367/1 page 1 Introduction One of the important causes of marine pollution is the high rate of population growth that the coastal zones of the Mediterranean Basin have experienced since the 1960’s and 1970’s. This widespread population growth has been accompanied by an increase in the standard of living leading to an equal increase in industrial development to satisfy the needs of the population. However, in spite of the importance of pollution loads originating directly from human agglomerations in coastal areas, they appeared to be of minor importance when compared to other forms of pollution originating inland and discharged into the sea by various means. Discharges from “inland” municipal, industrial and agricultural districts, which are only partially treated or even in untreated form, are still reaching the sea through the hydro- graphic river network of the Mediterranean Basin. The countries of the Mediterranean signed and adopted the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution in February 1976.

  • The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors
    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
