In CGS Europe, the established expert networks CO2GeoNet Association (www.co2geonet.com), CO2NET EAST (co2neteast.energnet.com) and ENeRG (www.energnet.eu) are joining forces and pooling their expertise to build a credible, independent, and representative pan- European scientific body of expertise on CO2 geological storage. CGS Europe provides an independent platform and reference source where national, European and international experts, institutes and regulators are able to - access the most up-to-date results of CO2-storage-related studies, - share experiences and good practises, - discuss the implementation of regulations, - identify research needs to face upcoming challenges, and - build new projects. Partners of CGS Europe comprise members of the CO2GeoNet Association and 22 other participants covering most of Europe with 24 EU Member States as well as Croatia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey (Tab. 1). The objectives of CGS Europe are, among others, to support the implementation of the European Directive on the geological storage of CO2 and other regulatory regimes and to facilitate the large-scale demonstration and industrial deployment of CCS. In addition, CGS Europe is contributing to reducing the gap between the „forerunner‟ countries, where CCS activities have been started or planned, and the „follower‟ countries where these actions are not yet happening. As one of CGS Europe‟s activities, information was collated about the state of play on CO2 geological storage in the 28 countries covered by CGS Europe. The following topics have been addressed: i) research activities and national funding opportunities for research on CO2 storage; ii) current pilot, demo and test sites in the CGS Europe countries; iii) state of transposition of the EU Directive on the geological storage of CO2; iv) public awareness in the CGS Europe countries. The current state of play on CO2 geological storage in the CGS Europe countries is summarised in this report. More detailed country-specific information is provided in Annex I. In this report, a brief overview of the CO2 storage options, potentials and capacities in Europe is provided in Chapter 2. Structure and organisation of research funding related to CO2 storage on a national level are outlined in Chapters 3 and 5 of the current report. Research topics addressed by the CGS Europe partners and other research institutions in the CGS Europe countries are introduced in Chapter 4, followed by a summary of current pilot, demo and test sites (Chapter 7) and an overview of the current state of transposition of the EU Directive on the geological storage of CO2 in the CGS Europe countries (Chapter 8). Information on a national level is complemented by an overview of ongoing EU-funded research projects related to CO2 storage (www.cordis.eu) and a summary of activities of the European Energy Research Alliance (www.eera-set.eu) in Chapter 6. This report reflects the state of play in Europe as of July 31st 2012 unless indicated otherwise. 1 CGS Europe 256725: D2.10 – State of Play on CO2 Geological Storage in Europe Tab. 1: Institutions of CGS Europe.

  • Morphological and Sedimentological Characteristics of a Cuspate Foreland (Mytikas Epanomi, East Thessaloniki City, Greece)
    Morphological and sedimentological characteristics of a cuspate foreland (Mytikas Epanomi, east Thessaloniki city, Greece) S.G.Kirkou1,2, K.Almpanakis3, K.Vouvalidis3, P.Tsourlos2, G.Vargemezis 2 1Laboratory of Geophysical-Satellite Remote Sensing & Archaeo-environment, Institute for Mediterranean Studies, Foundation for Research & Technology-Hellas (F.O.R.T.H.), Rethymno, Crete 2Department of Geophysics, School of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, [email protected] 3Department of Physical Geography and Environment, School of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki ABSTRACT Cuspate foreland is a geographical feature developed in a long shore drift or lakeshores. It is formed in a downwind area of an island or a coast, or at the end of a river where the conditions are appropriate by the incremental progress of sand and gravels in a triangle shape. The formation of the shape depends on the wave refraction and the deposition of sediments at the two sides of the triangle. Some cuspate forelands are flushed with floras which emigrated from the main land and they consist of many geomorphological features, like the lagoon and different types of dunes. Such kinds of ecosystems are sensitive to the human’s activity and nature. The subject of this research was the geological history and geomorphological characteristics of such a cuspate foreland. To this purpose, electric resistivity tomography (ERT) method was employed to map the vertical sequence of sediments in such an environment. The research was focused on a specific cuspate foreland at ‘Mytikas’ in Epanomi, close to Thessaloniki. The main purpose of the work was to map the surface sediments as well as the stratigraphy in depth and to record all the features that are developed on it and which contributed to the forming of this ecosystem.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Marine Biological Resources and Inland Waters, Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Anavyssos, 19013, Attica, Greece. * Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Received 24 March 2021 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 6 April 2021 │ Published online 11 April 2021. Abstract Although the Indo-Eastern Mediterranean giant water bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) is Europe’s largest hemipteran and aquatic insect, its distribution in Greece has remained poorly understood. Only a handful of records exists from the Ionian Islands, Macedonia, Thrace, and isolated observations in Preveza (Epirus), Achaia (north-western Peloponnese) and the islands of Rhodes and Thasos. Using records from personal observations, biomonitoring data, online arthropod identification groups and museum collections, we expand the distribution knowledge of this species to Aetolia-Acarnania, Thessaly, southern Peloponnese, Samothraki, North Sporades and the Cyclades. We also include a large number of new localities in areas within its previously known range. Key words: Lethocerinae; Nepomorpha; true bugs; aquatic insects; social networks; biogeography. Introduction Belostomatidae are the most charismatic of the true water bugs (Nepomorpha), due to their large size (up to 120 mm) and their voracious predatory habits, feeding on a wide range of invertebrates, fish, turtles, and even birds (Matheson 1907; Ribeiro et al.

  • About Thessaloniki
    INFORMATION ON THESSALONIKI Thessaloniki is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the second largest city in Greece. It was founded in 315 B.C. by Cassander, King of Macedonia and was named after his wife Thessaloniki, sister of Alexander the Great. Today Thessaloniki is considered to be one of the most important trade and communication centers in the Mediterranean. This is evident from its financial and commercial activities as well as its geographical position and its infrastructure. As a historic city Thessaloniki is well – known from its White Tower dating from the middle of the 15th century in its present form. Thessaloniki presents a series of monuments from Roman and Byzantine times. It is known for its museums, Archaeological and Byzantine as well as for its Art, Historical and War museums and Galleries. Also, it is known for its Churches, particularly the church of Agia Sophia and the church of Aghios Dimitrios, the patron Saint of the city. Thessaloniki’s infrastructure, which includes the Universities campus, the International trade, its port and airport as well as its road rail network, increases the city’s reputation; it is also famous for its entertainment, attractions, gastronomy, shopping and even more. A place that becomes a vacation resort for many citizens of Thessaloniki especially in the summer and only 45 minutes away is Chalkidiki. Chalkidiki is a beautiful place, which combines the sea with the mountain. Today, Chalkidiki is a summer resort for the people of Thessaloniki. It is really a gifted place due to its natural resources, its crystal waters and also the graphical as well as traditional villages.

  • Hydrogeological Regime and Groundwater Occurence in the Anthemountas River Basin, Northern Greece
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, vol. XLVII 2013 Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας, τομ. XLVII , 2013 Proceedings of the 13th International Congress, Chania, Sept. Πρακτικά 13ου Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Χανιά, Σεπτ. 2013 2013 HYDROGEOLOGICAL REGIME AND GROUNDWATER OCCURENCE IN THE ANTHEMOUNTAS RIVER BASIN, NORTHERN GREECE Kazakis N.1, Voudouris K.1, Vargemezis G.2 and Pavlou A.1 1Laboratory of Engineering Geology & Hydrogeology, Department of Geology, Aristolte University of Thessaloniki, Greece. 2Laboratory of Applied Geophysics Department of Geology Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Abstract The Anthemountas river basin is located in northern Greece and covers an area of 374 km2. The mountainous part of the basin consists of ophiolitic, crystalline and carbonate rocks, whereas the lowlands comprise Neogene and Quaternary sedi- ments. Porous aquifers are developed in neogene and quaternary deposits of con- fined and/or unconfined conditions. Karstic aquifers are developed in the carbonate rocks and there are aquifers in the Mesozoic and Palaeozoic fissured rocks. The wa- ter demands of the basin are mainly met by the exploitation of the porous aquifers through a large number of boreholes (more than 1000). The aquifers of fissured rocks discharge through cold springs without significant flow rate. Thermal hot springs are recorded across the Anthemountas fault discharging a mixture of geo- thermal fluids and cold water from the karst aquifer. According to their hydrogeo- logical and lithological characteristics, porous aquifers can be divided into the sub- systems of Galatista and Galarinos in the eastern part of the Anthemountas basin, Vasilika-Risio-Thermi and Tagardes-Trilofos in the western part and Peraia-Agia Triada and AUTh farm-Makedonia airport in the coastal area.
