Developing a Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Island Regions
Developing a Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Island Regions. The case of South Aegean Region in Greece. Apostolos P. Siskos1, Dimitrios Voloudakis1, Dimitrios Lalas1, Nikolaos Gakis1, Grigorios Andronikos2, Dionysios Gkoutis1, Maria Strataki1 1Envirometrics Technical Consultants and Engineers Ltd, 20 Karea str. Athens, 11636, Greece 2South Aegean Region's Managing Authority, 22 Saki Karagiorga str., Ermoupolis, Syros, 841 00, Greece Keywords: Climate change, adaptation, region, island, South Aegean Presenting author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the Regional Adaptation Plan to Climate Change (RAPCC) of the South Aegean Region (SAR) is to contribute to enhancing the region's resilience to climate change in all sectoral policies as outlined in the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. This means increasing preparedness and capacity to address the impacts of climate change at local and regional level, developing a coherent approach and improving coordination. The methodology used to assess the climatic vulnerability of the individual sectors and geographical areas of the SAR and ultimately the climate risk assessment comprised nine solid steps beginning from defining “reference" changes of climatic variables to assess the vulnerability of the different activities and ending with ranking sectors and activities as to the magnitude of the risk. The analysis of the climatic vulnerability and danger and hence risk of the different sectors and activities of the South Aegean Region was carried out for the short and medium term (2021-2050) and long-term horizons (2071-2100) and distinct for the geographical units of Cyclades and Dodecanese. According to these findings the proposed measures in the RAPCC were based on island specific characteristics such as financial-social activities, geomorphology and developed both in horizontal and sectoral actions and classified into High, Medium and Low priority.

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.

Mercury Speciation in the Water Distribution System of Skiathos Island, Greece †
Proceedings Mercury Speciation in the Water Distribution System of Skiathos Island, Greece † Alexandra Spyropoulou 1, Yannis G. Lazarou 2 and Chrysi Laspidou 1,* 1 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, 38334 Volos, Greece; [email protected] 2 Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, N.C.S.R. Demokritos, 15310 Athens, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30‐242‐107‐4147 † Presented at the 3rd EWaS International Conference on “Insights on the Water‐Energy‐Food Nexus”, Lefkada Island, Greece, 27–30 June 2018. Published: 2 August 2018 Abstract: In recent years, mercury (Hg) concentration that exceeds the Maximum Contaminant Level Standard set by the World Health Organisation for drinking water has been detected in the groundwater of Skiathos Island in Greece. The island single source of urban water is groundwater; as a result, tap water has been characterised as unsafe for drinking and people rely on bottled water for their everyday needs. The origin and speciation of Hg in the aquifer is investigated with the use of the Pourbaix diagram, while the possible correlation with groundwater salinization due to seawater intrusion is examined. Keywords: Pourbaix diagram; mercury speciation; groundwater salinisation 1. Introduction During the last few decades, there has been a growing interest worldwide in mercury and the mechanisms that govern its concentrations in air, soil and water. In many parts of the world, health authorities are becoming increasingly concerned about the effects of heavy metals on the environment and human health [1]. Mercury is one of the most important heavy metal environmental pollutants because of its volatility and accompanying long‐range atmospheric transport, its toxicity and its ability to bioaccumulate in organisms [2,3].

This partnership is constituted from 6 countries, and targets in each of those 6 regions 2 groups: G1/the actors in the employment and training sectors (trainers, social workers, teachers, entrepreneurs, HR managers ...etc) and G2/the vulnerable populations that are excluded from the employment and training markets (isolated women and single mothers, migrants, adults living in rural areas and/or territories in economic decline, disabled people, as well as people close to illiteracy. After proceeding with a comparative diagnosis of the modes and practices that are used to evaluate the basic competences, with the actors of the employment and training sectors in every country, the partnership will experiment and produce tools and methods for an initial evaluation of the basic competences, that are related to the 8 key competences defined in the European reference framework. These experiments will allow the partners to produce together individualised plans for the development of competences, in favour of the final beneficiaries (G2) and the implementation of training modules to evaluate the key competences in direction of the professionals (G1) which would allow them to adapt their practices to the diversity of problems faced by the vulnerable groups. 3 Grundtvig - See your skills PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY This partnership aims at 3 objectives: 1. Identify, analyse and exchange the good practices in terms of evaluation and development of key competences in favour of the groups who are in a situation of social and professional exclusion.

DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project. The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia.

TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY of ESCARPMENTS: the CASES of KOMPOTADES and ΝΕΑ ANCHIALOS FAULTS Zovoili E., Konstantinidi E
Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τομ. XXXVI, 2004 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XXXVI, 2004 Πρακτικά 10°" Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Θεσ/νίκη Απρίλιος 2004 Proceedings of the 10lh International Congress, Thessaloniki, April 2004 TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY OF ESCARPMENTS: THE CASES OF KOMPOTADES AND ΝΕΑ ANCHIALOS FAULTS Zovoili E., Konstantinidi E. and Koukouvelas I.K. Department of Geology, Division of Physical Marine Geology and Geodynamics, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece, [email protected] ABSTRACT Most active processes on the surface imply that tectonics and geomorphology converge in a way that landscape change may be used as a tectonic signal, given that erosion and weathering have been taken into account. We selected two faults, the Kompotades and the Nea Anchialos faults in the Sperchios and South Thessaly rift zones respectively, and we performed a morphometric analysis. This analysis comprises geomorphic indices that have been used successfully in studies of active tectonics, as the mountain front sinuosity index (Smf), stream gradient index (SL) and valley floor width to valley height ratio (Vf). At both studied mountain fronts, the Vf index ranged between 0,4 to 1,2, implying high uplift rates, while the Smf «1 index revealed relatively high tectonic activity, which decreases towards the west. On the other hand, the SL index though more sensitive to non-tectonic processes, (i.e. the rock resistance, stream length) is less indicative of tectonic activity. Based on the distribution of the geomorphic indices a two-fault strand model is suggested forming the mountain front in the two examples with the range-ward fault strand to be more appropriate for Kompotades fault and the basinward fault strand for Nea Anchialos fault.
