Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate the development of a floating artificial sustainable energy island at a conceptual design level that would enhance the energy independence of islands focusing on a case study on the island of Crete. This paper provides a baseline assessment showing the immense potential of wind and solar energy in and around Crete integrating the third significant renewable energy source (RES) of ocean waves into the energy island. The selection of the best location for the floating offshore platforms that compose the energy island is addressed through exploiting the great potent

Abstract:

In the last five years, the discovery of several new localities of fossil Sirenians found in the Neogene sediments of Crete has increased drastically the number of sirenian localities on the island. Some of the most important findings consist of almost complete post cranial skeletons (localities of Stilos, Panassos near Zaros and Tripitos in Agia Fotia near Siteia). Furthermore, the locality Kotsiana near Chania, where in 1973 Symeonidis and Schultz reported the first sirenian findings from Crete, was revisited and several new sites were recorded. The most recent findings not thoroughly studie

The evidence indicates shows held in the capital of the province, Gortyn; in the colony of Knossos, in Hierapytna, and possibly in Chersonesos and Kissamos. Some of the spectacles that took place in Gortyn were extraordinary and very costly, including beast fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats with sharp weapons. The cities that presented these spectacles were leading towns and principal ports for the complex trade n

Abstract:

The island of Crete has been thoroughly explored, by various organizations, for the presence of lignite deposits, in order to examine the possibility of energy independence for the island and thus reduce the cost of consumed electric energy. Research showed that lignite generates in fluvial – lacustrine environments in many places in Crete and lignite deposits have been investigated and exploited from time to time. In the present study all lignite occurrences of the island are recorded and their generation and depositional environment is analysed. Lignite horizons from different basins are com

Abstract:

Clean energy transition in islands is important and urgent in the current era of climate change. The possibility of de-carbonizing the heating and cooling sector in the island of Crete, Greece has been investigated. Fossil fuels are used in Crete in electricity generation, in heat and cooling production as well as in transportation. The use of various renewable and non-renewable fuels as well as the technologies used in heat and cooling generation has been examined together with the annual changes in fossil fuels consumption during the last years. Various renewable energies like solar energy,

Abstract:

The island of Crete, Greece is a well-known global tourism destination hosting few millions of tourists every year. Although mass tourism dominates in the local tourism product several types of thematic tourism have been also developed in the island. Virtual tourism allows the exploration of Crete without the physical presence of the visitor. The current technological advances of virtual reality and augmented reality allow the exploration of several historical, and cultural monuments as well as other beauties in Crete without the physical presence of visitors in the island.

The cultivation of crops in modern and productive agricultural systems is necessary for feeding the growing global population. The climate conditions in the island of Crete, Greece are favorable for the development of agricultural greenhouses. The island hosts nowadays almost one third of the Greek greenhouses used mainly for vegetables production. Although plastic covered greenhouses dominate in vegetables’ production in Crete the use of modern technologies can increase the productivity and improve the quality of the products.

Greece is one of the countries blessed by astonishing features of nature where tourism is predominately thought of as one of the most powerful sectors that a country could lean on, a key component seeking every pinch of development effort. Under this scope and for the sake of helping to sustain the Greek tourism industry growth, this study is dedicated to assessing tourists' profiles, behavior, and attitudes in Crete, the largest Greek island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean.

Abstract:

Graviera is a very popular yellow hard cheese produced in mainland Greece and the Aegean islands, and in three PDO (protected denomination of origin) locations. Apart from geographic location, type of milk and production practices are also factors that affect cheese composition, and make this dairy product unique in taste and aroma. In this work, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics has been used to determine the metabolite profile (40 compounds) of graviera cheese produced in different geographic locations, with emphasis on cheeses produced on the

Abstract. The last century, the global urbanization has leaded the majority of population to move into big, metropolitan areas. Small areas on the Earth's surface are being built with tall buildings in areas close to seismogenic zones. Such an area of great importance is the Hellenic arc in Greece. Among the regions with high seismicity is Crete, located on the subduction zone of the Eastern Mediterranean plate underneath the Aegean plate. The Hellenic Seismological Network of Crete (HSNC) has been built to cover the need on continuous monitoring of the regional seismicity in the vicinity of t

A new species of the family Niphargidae, Niphargus zarosiensis sp. nov., is described from samples collected in 2016 from a spring draining into Lake Zaros on Crete Island, Greece. This is the first record of the genus Niphargus from a spring on Crete south of the Ida Mountains. Two other Niphargus-species on Crete are known: Niphargus impexus Karaman, 2016 and Niphargus lakusici Karaman, 2017. N. zarosiensis sp. nov. is closely related to N. impexus described from northern Crete. The differences to N. lakusici are more obvious.
