Using Earth Observation to update a Natura 2000 habitat map for a wetland in Greece
…, E Lazaridou, A Tsirika, GC Zalidis – Journal of Environmental …, 2009 – Elsevier
Abstract: The European Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC has defined the need for the conservation of habitats and species with the adoption of appropriate measures. Within the Natura 2000 ecological network of special areas of conservation, natural habitats will be monitored to ...
A boosted genetic fuzzy classifier for land cover classification of remote sensing imagery
DG Stavrakoudis, JB Theocharis, GC Zalidis – ISPRS Journal of …, 2011 – Elsevier
Abstract: A Boosted Genetic Fuzzy Classifier (BGFC) is proposed in this paper, for land cover classification from multispectral images. The model comprises a set of fuzzy classification rules, which resemble the reasoning employed by humans. Fuzzy rules are generated in ...
Investigation of protozoa as indicators of wastewater treatment efficiency in constructed wetlands
…, GP Sakellaropoulos, M Lazaridou, G Zalidis – Desalination, 2010 – Elsevier
Abstract: Wetlands represent an efficient wastewater treatment technique, with several benefits over the conventional activated sludge system. Microfaunal community is of outmost importance in treatment processes as the microorganisms are able to achieve substantial ...
A Antoniadis, V Takavakoglou, G Zalidis, E Darakas… – Catalysis Today, 2010 – Elsevier
Abstract: Aim of the present work is the study and the experimental evaluation of an alternative and innovative wastewater treatment system, which combines the action of photocatalytic oxidation with the surface flow constructed wetlands. This low cost and environmental ...
NG Papadopoulos, E Gikas, G Zalidis… – International Journal …, 2012 – Taylor & Francis
Abstract: This paper describes the development of a new analytical method for the analysis of the herbicide TER and its degradation products in sediment samples. This method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection, was validated for the...
…, E Gikas, A Tsarbopoulos, G Zalidis – … and Water Treatment, 2012 – Taylor & Francis
Abstract: It is widely recognized that the organic micropollutants, coming from the intensive agricultural use of land, are the major thread against surface and ground water. However, they are an environmental engineering challenge in order to encounter the pollution by ...
…, NG Papadopoulos, FN Bazoti, G Zalidis… – Rapid …, 2012 – Wiley Online Library
Abstract: S-Triazines are used worldwide as herbicides for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes. Although terbuthylazine (TER) is the second most frequently used S-triazine, there is limited information on its metabolism. For this reason, an analytical method based on liquid ...
A multistage genetic fuzzy classifier for land cover classification from satellite imagery
DG Stavrakoudis, JB Theocharis, GC Zalidis – Soft Computing, 2011 – Springer
Abstract: A linguistic boosted genetic fuzzy classifier (LiBGFC) is proposed in this paper for land cover classification from multispectral images. The LiBGFC is a three-stage process, aiming at effectively tackling the interpretability versus accuracy tradeoff problem. The first stage iteratively ...
Integrated methodology for estimating water use in Mediterranean agricultural areas
…, Y Chemin, GN Silleos, E Stavrinos, GC Zalidis – Remote Sensing, 2009 – mdpi.com
Abstract: Agricultural use is by far the largest consumer of fresh water worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean, where it has reached unsustainable levels, thus posing a serious threat to water resources. Having a good estimate of the water used in an agricultural area...
…, V Takavakoglou, T Alexadridis, G Zalidis – Global NEST Journal, 2009 – gnest.org
Abstract: Numerous saltworks have been abandoned throughout the Greek islands and mainland as operations have decreased in number and increased in size. Such areas have great potential for serving the broader society if rehabilitated correctly. Changes in ...
Optimization of the resolution of remotely sensed digital elevation model to facilitate the simulation and spatial propagation of flood events in flat areas
…, F Katsogiannos, G Zalidis… – EGU General …, 2013 – adsabs.harvard.edu
Abstract: The use of satellite remote sensing products, such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), under specific computational interfaces of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has fostered and facilitated the acquisition of data on specific hydrologic features, such as ...
Multi-scale risk assessment of stream pollution by wastewater of olive oil mills in Kolymvari, Crete
CGKarydas, IL Sarakiotis, GC Zalidis – Earth Science Informatics, 2013 – Springer
Abstract: In the streams of the Mediterranean island of Crete (Greece), olive mill wastewater (OMW) has been reported to reduce biodiversity up to 85 %. Mere conduction of impact assessment based on pollutant concentrations, however, can- not reveal how impacted areas may be ...
N Papadopoulos, E Gikas, G Zalidis… – Journal of Liquid …, 2009 – Taylor & Francis
Abstract: The worldwide application of s-Triazines as herbicides for agricultural and nonagricultural purposes, results in a significant environmental pollution. It is necessary to develop sustainable and environmental friendly techniques in order to remediate surface ...
G Zalidis, N Karapetsas… – First …, 2013 – proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org
Abstract: Water resources management is a comprehensive planning process dimensioning all water related components. With this in mind, the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires reliable and continuous water monitoring and collection of qualitative information...
