The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

Three different defensive networks in 13th–19th C.

The construction of flexible cultural networks, involv- ing local communities, enterprises and tourism, is proposed. 1 Three different defensive networks thin 13 –19th C.

Giannakaki Agrokipio, 73100 Chania Tel: +30281083434, Fax: +302821093963, Email: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Oliviculture has always been connected to the history of Crete and apparently dates back as far as 8.000 years. It is connected to the tradition, religion, art as well as the social and economic life of the inhabitants ever since civilization started leaving its mark on the island. Today, olive orchards constitute one of the most dominant elements in the natural environment of the island, covering 65% of the farming land, and offer employment to almost the majority of its farming families. Oliviculture together with tourism make up two of the most important economic resources in Crete. It offers a significant income to the island and constitutes an interesting and cherished activity to a large part of its inhabitants. The aim of this study was to identify the problems, to come up with ways to take advantage of new possibilities-opportunities and to apply modern proposals – trends in the field of oliviculture. The main topics of this study are: • Identification and study of oliviculture systems.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

The Palaeography Workshop of the Department of History and Ethnology at the Demokritan University of Thrace and its director Professor G. K. Papa­ zoglou have published the first volume of its scientific yearbook which bears the apt title Apo-Phonis; the title originates from a definition in the dictionary of C. Dulange, Glossarium mediae et infimae graecitatis, Lugduni 1688, II, 1717, a definition which, as rendered in the sub-title of the yearbook, has the following as clarification: Ex ore vel docentis vel Conversantis —a term, that is to say, quite clearly palaeographic. As well as signalling the contents, it indicates the character of the publication which is obviously both palaeographic and codicological. The yearbook contains six studies, three miscellaneous articles and nine book-reviews. In the first study, Mr G. K. Papazoglou gives his attention to New Unknown Manuscripts of the Phanariot Scholar Nikolaos Karatzas, a scholar of the eighteenth century who had established one of the richest private libraries, which after his death was dispersed to other libraries both private and public, chiefly, as no often happens, abroad. Mr Papazoglou has located seven manuscripts: in Trinity College, no. 932 of the year 1672; in the British Museum Additament, no. 10,014 of the 16th century and no. 18,190 of the 16th/l7th century; in the Paris Suppl.

Low-lying coastal urban centers, populated deltas, and coastal protected areas are key societal hotspots of coastal vulnerability in terms of relative sea level change. Land deformation on a local scale can significantly affect estimations, so it is necessary to understand the rhythm and spatial distribution of potential land subsidence/uplift in coastal areas. The present study deals with the determination of the relative vertical rates of the land deformation and the sea-surface height by using multi-source Earth observation—synthetic aperture radar (SAR), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), tide gauge, and altimetry data. To this end, the multi-temporal SAR interferometry (MT-InSAR) technique was used in order to exploit the most recent Copernicus Sentinel-1 data. The products were set to a reference frame by using GNSS measurements and were combined with a re-analysis model assimilating satellite altimetry data, obtained by the Copernicus Marine Service.
