    Identifying the sources and the contributions of inland sediment and litter pollutants to enhance the Black Sea through nature-based solutions
    (Springer Nature, 2023) Zaimes, George N.; Koutalakis, Paschalis; Gkiatas, Georgios; Iakovoglou, Valasia; Marinescu, Mirela; Ristea, Oana; Ghulijanyan, Andranik; Gevorgyan, Luiza; Kuharuk, Ecaterini; Trombitsky, Ilya; Tüfekçioğlu, Mustafa; Yavuz, Mehmet; Tüfekçioğlu, Aydın; Duman, Ahmet
    The Black Sea is considered one of the most degraded regional seas. Efforts have been made to improve the conditions of the Black Sea, but little focus has been on the inland pollutants and litter, specifically from the rivers and streams that end in the Black Sea. Streams and rivers are significant sources of sediment and litter. This study aimed to identify the primary sources of sediment and litter and their contributions. This will help to suggest the optimal nature-based solutions to mitigate pollution sustainably. The study has five pilot areas in Greece, Romania, Armenia, Moldova, and Turkey. This will allow us to investigate different riverine ecosystems around the Black Sea and the implementation of different nature-based solutions. Surface and stream bank erosion methods are applied at different scales (plot and watershed) to estimate their contributions to the Black Sea. Traditional (runoff plots erosion pins) and innovative methods (laser scanning, unmanned aerial vehicles) are utilized. This way, areas with the highest erosion or litter will be targeted, and the optimal nature-based solutions based on the specific characteristics of these areas will be implemented.

    Innovative and sustainable use of stream water to suppress fires in protected areas: overview of the streams-2-suppress-fires project
    ([y.y.], 2013) Zaimes, George N.; Tüfekçioğlu, Mustafa; Tüfekçioğlu, Aydın; Zibtsev, Sergiy; Kaziolas, Dimitrios; Yavuz, Mehmet; Trombitsky, Ilya; Emmanouloudis, Dimitrios; Uratu, Razvan; Ghulijanyan, Andranik; Borsuk, Anatolii
    Establishing protected areas to maintain biodiversity is a priority worldwide. Protected areas can have minimal management practices that can lead to the intensive accumulation of fire fuel. Fires are major threats for all protected areas that cause irreversible damages to them or impacts that last for decades or even centuries. The impending climate change impacts will increase the potential of large fires even in regions with minimal fires in the past. The emphasis of this project is in the Black Sea region with six pilot areas in six different countries. The first action involves the establishment of a Neighborhood Network regarding fire suppression around the region. The network includes institutions that are responsible for mitigating forest fires and managing protected areas from the Black Sea region. Another important action taken is to understand the fire behavior and locating the areas with the greatest fire risk. When considering fire suppression it is essential to know the available water resources (stream water). Since fires occur during the summer, the runoff and stream flow during this period needs to be accurately predicted. Based on the fire behavior and water resources data, the number, dimensions of the reservoirs required to suppress forest fires will be estimated for the pilot areas. Finally, specialized software will provide the optimal locations of the reservoirs and the best routes for the fire vehicles to reach the reservoirs. Overall the use of innovative mechanisms will lead to the more cost-effective management that will allow the sustainable development and protection of natural protected areas.
