Announcement for the 9th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology
- 2005
The
ninth International biennial Conference on Environmental
Science and Technology will present the most recent technological and
scientific developments associated with environmental problems, emphasising the
synthesis of scientific expertise achieved in individual disciplines of
environmental science and technology. This synthesis, in combination with the
integration of environmental information with economic and social aspects, is
prerequisite for adopting sustainable solutions to the numerous contemporary
problems.
In
view of the success of the previous Conferences
dating back to 1989, the meeting aims to bring together engineers, scientists
and other professionals from a number of different countries, involved in
environmental research and development activities.
The
aim of the Conference is to identify and promote best practices in environmental
resources management and planning, to present realistic scenarios and reliable
economic analysis of environmental issues, to
achieve a better understanding of environmental problems, and to seek their
solution.
In
this conference, priority will be given to the following areas:
Global
environmental change and ecosystems management,
Water
resources management and planning,
Water
quality issues,
Air
quality issues,
Solid
waste management, recycling and sustainability
We
welcome abstracts of original work on any environmental issue including those
related to the following topics:
Environmental
dynamics:
meteorology,
hydrology, geophysics
Environmental
pollution:
air,
water, soil, noise, radiation, multi-media;
sources, pathways, sinks and interactions between pollutants
Environmental
sustainability:
-
Solid waste management
- Water supply and waste
water treatment and reuse
resources
management & recycling;
management of air, water and soil quality;
environmental systems approach
Global
change:
climate
change, global warming, ozone layer depletion, human geography,
deforestation, desertification
Ecological
engineering:
eco-technology,
bio-engineering, habitat reconstruction, stream river and wetland
restoration
Environmental
restoration:
ground
water remediation, soil decontamination, hazardous landfill leachates
Environmental
and occupational medicine
Epidemiology
and risk analysis
Wastes
(municipal, industrial, agricultural):
management,
treatment, control and disposal
Each
thematic session will be introduced by distinguished practitioners and
scientists acting as keynote speakers.
The official conference languages are Greek and English.
Papers will be
written in English for the inclusion in the proceedings, which are covered
by ISI system.
Papers will be provisionally accepted by the
Scientific Committee on the basis of the abstracts. The full papers will be reviewed
before final acceptance for presentation.
All accepted papers will be included in the
Conference Proceedings. We remind at this point that due to the quality of the
presentations of the Conference, the proceedings have been
included in the major data banks of the internationsl scientific community, such
as Science Citation Index (ISI) and Chemical Abstracts and SRCosmos.
Selected papers will also be considered
(with the authors’ consent) for inclusion in a special issue of the "GLOBAL
NEST: the International Journal".
Access to the island of Rhodes is possible by
plane via Athens, Thessaloniki and many other international airports or by
ferry boat from Athens (Pireus), Thessaloniki and other ports.
The air tickets to and from the island of
Rhodes should be booked long in
advance, as the first weeks of September are a high tourist season. The boat
tickets should be booked in advance and if a car is taken to the island the
return ferry ticket should be ensured.
Bus and taxi services are available at reasonable rates.
