Abstract: Climate change creates new challenges for preventing and protecting human health against different diseases that could appear and propagate. The Aedes albopictus mosquito species is an important vector for different diseases like dengue fever or zika. Although this species is not “indigenous” in Europe, its presence is noticed in many countries on the continent. The Ae. albopictus establishment is conditioned by the species’ characteristics and environmental factors. To assess the possible spread of Ae. albopictus in the Dobrogea region (situated in the Southeast of Romania), we conducted the following analysis: (1) Investigation of the current distribution and climatic factors favoring Ae. albopictus’ establishment in Europe; (2) Analysis of climate dynamics in Dobrogea in terms of the parameters identified at stage (1); (3) Testing the hypothesis that the climate from Dobrogea favors Ae. albopictus’ establishment in the region; (4) Building a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based model of the potential geographic distribution of Ae. albopictus in Dobrogea. Results show that the climate of Dobrogea favors the apparition of the investigated species and its proliferation.

For instance, dengue fever (caused by mosquito bites, like Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1895)) is common in many countries from tropical and subtropical areas. The Invasive Species Specialist Group considers that Ae. albopictus is one of the worst 100 invasive species due to its adaptability [10,11].

    JURILOVCA Localitatea Jurilovca este situată în partea de sud–est a judeţului Tulcea, pe malul vestic al Lacului Razim; la 54 km de Tulcea, 26 km – Sarichioi, la 20 km de Babadag, la 5 km de localitatea Sălcioara şi 15 km până la Gura Portiţei. Alături de aceasta, în componenţa comunei cu acelaşi nume intră satele: Vişina, situată la 1 km distanţă şi Sălcioara (fost 6 Martie), la 6 km. Accesul în aceasta localitate se face de la şoseaua naţională DN 22, Tulcea - Constanţa, la nodul rutier numit local „Două cantoane”, apoi spre stânga pe drumul judeţean, DJ 222. Comuna Jurilovca este delimitată de următoarele teritorii administrative comunale: la nord – teritoriul administrativ al comunei Sarichioi la vest – teritoriul administrativ al comunei Ceamurlia de Jos la sud – Complexul lagunar Razim (Lacul Goloviţa) la est – Complexul lagunar Razim. Localitatea Jurilovca este aşezată în zona de racord a podişului Babadag cu câmpia litorală Razim, prezentând un relief alcătuit din dealuri ce descresc altitudinal spre nivelul de bază reprezentat de sistemul lagunar. Cele mai mari altitudini se regăsesc în extremitatea nord-vestică a comunei (Dealul Drăgaica – 140 m). Depresiunea Jurilovca este dominată la sud de dealurile Ceardac-Bair, Drăgaica, iar în vest de dealurile de la capul Doloşman. Depresiunea Vişina este situată în sectorul de vărsare a văii Batalului în lacul Goloviţa, la V de localitatea Jurilovca. În partea de nord a localităţii Jurilovca, între promontoriile Iancila şi Doloşman, apare depresiunea de tip golf 6 Martie. Reţeaua hidrografică este alcătuită din văi cu caracter temporar şi regim torenţial, pe de o parte, şi mari suprafeţe lacustre (complexul lagunar Razim - Sinoe), pe de altă parte.

  • WWF Position “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep
    WWF Position May 2009 “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel Since 2004, the Ukrainian government has been constructing a canal in the Danube Delta referred to in the official documentation as the Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel, or “Bystroye canal” as it widely known as an alternative to the Sulina Channel on Romanian territory. The project has been carried out with a number of breaches of international commitments. Local and international stakeholders and environmental organisations have been highly concerned about its likely negative environmental impacts on the unique species and habitats of the Delta, which is protected under the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme ( for chronology of events please, see www.panda.org/dcpo). The decision to construct the canal has been based neither on solid socio- economic and environmental analysis nor on proper assessment of alternatives WWF therefore calls for a halt to all further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye arm. WWF recommends joint operation of the existing Sulina Channel by Romania and Ukraine as the most economically and environmentally viable option. Should the Ukrainian government not give up its plan to construct a navigation channel on national territory, WWF proposes the careful consideration of alternatives outside the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Project poses severe threat to Danube Delta biodiversity Further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye branch presents a severe threat to the Danube Delta’s biodiversity as the canal cuts through the heart of the Ukrainian Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve – an environmentally sensitive area protected by several international agreements.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

  • Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy
    Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy About the Danube Delta Region The Danube Delta is one of the continent’s most valuable habitats for specific delta wildlife and biodiversity. Established as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Ramsar site in 1990, it is the Europe’s second largest delta, and the best preserved of European deltas. The most significant physical and ecological feature of the Danube Delta is its vast expanse of wetlands, including freshwater marsh, lakes and ponds, streams and channels. With an area of 3,446 km2, is the world’s largest wetland. Only 9% of the area is permanently above water. The Delta hosts extraordinary biodiversity and provides important environmental services. It is the home of over 1,200 varieties of plants, 300 species of birds, as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes. There are 16 strictly protected areas in the delta where no economic activities are allowed, and areas for ecological rehabilitation and buffer zones between economical areas where tourist activities are permitted as long as the environment is protected. Dual Challenge in Developing the Danube Delta A dual challenge for the sustainable development of the Danube Delta is the conservation of its ecological assets and improvement of the quality of life for its residents. The Danube Delta is the largest remaining natural delta in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It is also the only river that is entirely contained within a Biosphere Reserve. It is important to conserve all of its ecological assets. 1 Danube Delta is perhaps one of the least inhabited regions of temperate Europe, with only about 10,000 people in one town (Sulina) and about 20 scattered villages.
