Geochemistry of Nearshore Sediments from the North GEOCHEMISTRY OF NEARSHORE SEDIMENTS FROM THE NORTH AEGEAN SEA, GREECE by FANI SAKELLARIADOU A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Applied Geochemistry Research Group Royal School of Mines Imperial College of Science and Technology July 1987 2 To my parents Leonidas and Alexandra, To Leonidas, To Mary 3 ABSTRACT The surface sediments of North Aegean Sea comprise modern terrigenous detrital material (introduced by river runoff and coastal erosion), reworked older sediments and biogenic matter. Fine-grained sediments near major river mouths reflect fluvial input. Sands in the mid-shelf region of Samothraki plateau represent deposition during earlier, lower sea levels. Aluminium and iron rich, fine-grained sediments in Kavala gulf consist of reworked material. Supply and distribution of sediments on Samothraki and Strymonikos plateaux are affected by a westwards flowing nearshore current and a west-east trending nearshore canyon, respectively. The former transports the Evros runoff westwards and the latter directs the Strymon runoff downslope. Within the study area, lerissos gulf surface sediments are significantly enriched in Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn and Cu. The enrichments express the mineralization onland (mixed sulphide deposits, Cu-bearing porphyry stocks and Mn-oxide deposits). In buried sediments off Stratoni, Mn, Fe and Zn concentrations increase dramatically close to the surface. This trend is probably related to contamination deriving from coastal mining activities. The buried sediments of North Aegean Sea mainly comprise clay and carbonate matter. In some of them, an upward migration of Mn due to diagenetic remobilization is observed. In all surface and subsurface sediments, more than 50% of Ti, Al, Fe, K, Ba, V, Cr, Li, Co, Ni, La, Mg, Be, P, Cu and Zn is hosted in the lattice structure of aluminosilicate minerals. Significant proportions of Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb, Ni and Co are associated with the Fe,Mn-oxides. The carbonates contain mainly Ca and Sr. In the Samothraki plateau surface sediments the Cu affinity for organic matter is pronounced. The highest proportions of Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni and Mn not bound to aluminosilicates occur in the lerissos gulf sediments, confirming that their origin is related to onland mineralization and mining activities. Although various enrichments were determined in some sediments, economic deposits of any of the elements studied are unlikely to occur in the upper parts of the North 4 Aegean Sea sediments. However, it is demonstrated that the detection of mineralized areas onland (e.g. eastern Halkidiki peninsula) is feasible through the geochemical study of nearshore sediments. 5 Table of Contents Eaoa

TSAKIRI1 1Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Agriculture, Faculty of Agricultural Economics, 2Democritus University of Thrace, Department of Forestry-Environmental Management and Natural Resources, and 3Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Information Science. E-mail: [email protected] EXTENDED ABSTRACT Water supply in rural and urban areas is an issue of prime concern, especially in developing countries. The objective of this study was to ex ante estimate some socioeconomic and environmental values of Petrenia Irrigation Dam on the east Halkidiki border. The study area characterized, especially during the summer session, by limited water supply for household and municipal purposes. Although the majority of Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) studies have been for environmental goods, the method can be applied to public goods in general. It was hypothesized that the satisfaction of consumers about water supply service, their beliefs in the water management system and affordability might influence Willingness to Pay (WTP) more for water. Accordingly, a Contingent Valuation study was planned in six separate municipal districts (Ouranoupoli, Ierissos, Gomati, Nea Roda, Stratoni and Ammouliani), around the Petrenia irrigation Dam, of Halkidiki prefecture. Several outputs were identified and an economic value was estimated for each. Water supply, recreation, health effects, social impacts, environmental sequences and some more outputs were valued using the CVM.

  • 'Agonistic Pluralism' and 'The Political'
    Dispatches from Greece: ‘‘We were sleeping as Individuals and we woke up as Citizens’’ Democracy and Development Revisited: Exploring openings through the social movement in Skouries, Chalkidiki May, 2015 Master Thesis in International Development and Management Author: Styliani-Mirsini Kazakou Supervisor: Elsa Coimbra Styliani-Mirsini Kazakou LUMID- MSc Thesis Abstract The universalistic understanding of the subject embedded in the Liberal and Marxist traditions together with contrasting accounts of unconstrained agency, fail to explain the contingencies of ground responses that call for social change. The paper makes a case for the opening of the understanding of the human subject when placed in the theoretical terrain of radical political philosophy elaborated by thinkers such as C. Castoriadis, M. Hardt & A. Negri, E. Laclau and C. Mouffe. The conceptualisation of the human subject as both a creative and constrained agent rescues it from deterministic excesses and accounts of unlimited power. Within these confines, the purpose of this paper was to explore the project of autonomy as conceptualised by Castoriadis and relate it to a new articulation of human development. Through a case study of the social movement in Skouries, Chalkidiki, the democratic openings realised by the creative human praxis and the re-politicisation of individuals, were explored. The self-organised communities call for a creation of public spaces where deliberation and self-reflection can take place, resulting in a re-thinking of the developmental paradigm applied during the years of Greek austerity. The question that remains open is how the new social relations manifested in the area can foster principles of social and individual autonomy in all spheres of social life.

    Vraag met verzoek om schriftelijk antwoord E-009840/2011 aan de Commissie Artikel 117 van het Reglement Michail Tremopoulos (Verts/ALE) Betreft: Medefinanciering van de Petrenia-dam in het gebied Gomati in Chalkidiki Recentelijk zijn de milieuvoorwaarden goedgekeurd voor de Petrenia-dam in de regio Gomati in Chalkidiki, Centraal Macedonië1. Het project voorziet in de aanvullende watervoorziening van de voormalige gemeenten Panagia en Stageira-Akanthos door middel van de opslag en verwerking van een hoeveelheid oppervlaktewater van 1 645 000 m3 per jaar tot 2050. Volgens de milieueffectstudie bedraagt het budget voor het project 45 miljoen euro en, zoals ook eerder werd aangegeven bij de prefecturale raad van Chalkidiki, zal het nationaal strategisch referentiekader ESPA zorgen voor de medefinanciering hiervan2. Deze gebieden worden op dit moment echter door de overvloedige bronnen van het Kakavos-gebergte van water voorzien. Met slechts vier boringen door het Grieks Instituut voor geologisch en mineralogisch onderzoek kan er zonder probleem per jaar ongeveer 5 500 000 m3 water34 worden onttrokken, en bestaat bovendien de mogelijkheid om de beschikbaarheid van water via de reeds bestaande boringen verder op te voeren4; recente studies5 staven de overvloedige hoeveelheid water uit de bronnen van het Kakavos-gebergte. De werkelijke doelstelling van het project is gelegen in de ondersteuning van de geplande projecten van “Ellinikos Chrysos”6, want het technisch instituut van Centraal Macedonië7 wijst terecht op de belangrijke gevolgen die de geplande activiteiten in het kader van de goudwinning zullen hebben voor de levering en de kwaliteit van het water van het Kakavos-gebergte. Ook kan het project mogelijk te maken krijgen met problemen met de hoeveelheid of de kwaliteit van het water gelet op de geplande uitbreiding van de mijnbouwactiviteiten van “Ellinikos Chrysos” naar de regio Tsikara, waar de bron van de bergstroom “Petrenia” is gelegen.

Northern Greece is the least well documented of the regions which were reached by the 8th and 7th c. B.C. Greek colonists. Not only does the study of the Andrian colonies augment the available documentation on the northern Greeks, it also provides an opportunity to examine one mother-city's overall colonization process. Through the sum of ancient sources and archaeological data pertaining to the four Andrian colonies, the study attempts to lay out the socio-economic history of the colonies as a whole and as separate entities. Such aspects as: 1) The foundation dates; the colonization process; 2) the relations with the indigenous populations; and 3) the economic relations with the other Greek colonies in the region, as well as the major centers of the Greek mainland, are examined.
