The morphometric characteristics of the Kaidu River and Keriya River in the extremely arid Tarim Basin, and the Evros Vallis on Mars were compared to study the formation of the dendritic Evros ...Vallis, which has great significance for exploring ancient climate of Mars. The following results were obtained: (a) the average sinuosities of Kaidu River, Keriya River, and Evros Vallis are 1.17, 1.35, and 1.32 respectively. (b) the average bifurcation ratios are 3.84, 4.73 and 3.43 respectively. (c) the average stream length ratios are 2.21, 3.86 and 2.08 respectively. (d) the stream frequencies are 0.017, 0.028 and 0.002 respectively. (e) the drainage densities are 0.195 km−1 and 0.217 km−1, and 0.048 km−1 respectively. (f) the stream gradients are 3.74‰, 7.03‰ and 1.63‰ respectively. (g) the stream fractal dimensions are 1.70, 1.0 and 1.68 respectively. Paleodischarge estimations at different stream segments of Evros Vallis support the hypothesis that the V-bend area that joints the eastern and western segments possibly has a tectonic origin. Geomorphological evidence (e.g., tributaries) from high-resolution images and stream morphometric parameters from a comparative analysis (e.g., concave upward longitudinal profile and stream fractal dimension) support previous hypothesis that Evros Vallis is a mature drainage system formed by precipitation-driven surface runoff. This drainage process occurred either in a continuously warm-wet climate that lasted long enough on early Mars or in regional hydrologic cycles consisting of precipitation and occasionally returned runoff in intermittently clement climates.
•Kaidu River and Keriya River in arid Tarim Basin were chosen as terrestrial analogs for the dendritic Evros Vallis on Mars.•Morphometric parameters of stream networks, e.g., sinuosity, bifurcation ratio, etc., are calculated and compared.•Martian Evros Vallis is a mature drainage system formed by precipitation-driven surface runoff.
In the Thrace region of NE Greece, the crystallization and post-solidification cooling below 600°C of the intrusive suite of the Circum-Rhodope Belt arc-related Evros ophiolite span from 176.4±0.93 ...to 163.5±3.85Ma. In the underlying Rhodope high-grade metamorphic basement, (ultra-) high-pressure metamafic rocks are cross-cut by orthogneisses with granitoid protoliths and crystallization ages between 160±0.69 and 154±1.5Ma. This new U–Pb LA–ICP-MS zircon geochronological data provides evidence that the timing of the evolution of the Evros ophiolite coincides, within analytical error, with granitoid magmatism in the underlying high-grade basement. One of the dated metagranitoid rocks cross-cuts amphibolitized eclogite, indicating that the high-pressure conditions have a maximum age of 160Ma postdating one of the proposed ages of ultra-high pressure conditions in the Rhodope Massif. The currently earliest recognised Rhodope high/ultra-high pressure metamorphic event is therefore related to the subduction setting which formed the Evros ophiolite. Based on these new temporal constraints and the regional tectonic–geochronologic framework, we discuss and update the geodynamic context connected to the Jurassic subduction–collisional setting at the Rhodope continental margin of Eurasia.

•Evros ophiolite has magmatic life between 176-164Ma south to the Rhodope margin.•The timing of (UHP) HP event coincides with the Evros ophiolite magmatic history.•Basement granitoid magmatism overlaps the ages of HP event and Evros ophiolite.
The present study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of Ostracoda fauna in eight coastal lagoons in the Enez-Evros delta (Tuzla Lake 1, Tuzla Lake 2, Tuzla Lake 3, Taz, Işık, Dalyan, Kuvalak, and ...Taşaltı), located along the northern Aegean Sea coastline of Turkey. Recent ostracod samples collected from the eight lagoons were analyzed, and 16 living ostracod species (belonging to 14 genera) were identified during the sampling periods. The most abundant species were found to be Cyprideis torosa and Loxoconcha elliptica. C. torosa, a cosmopolitan and opportunistic species of Ostracoda, was found in all the studied coastal lagoons. All ostracod species determined in the lagoons were grouped into three assemblages: Group 1: halophilic continental freshwater species (F. fabaeformis, C. vidua, D. stevensoni, E. virens, H. salina, I. biplicata, I. bradyi, L. inopinata, and S. aculeata); Group 2: euryhaline and typical brackish water species (C. torosa and L. elliptica); Group 3: marine (coastal: A. convexa, L. rhomboidea, C. elongata, and X. communis) and brackish (lagoonal: L. lacertosa) water species. These species of Ostracoda were shown to be affected by environmental conditions. Analyses with the physicochemical variables and species (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Canonical Correspondence Analysis) confirmed that ostracod distribution in the Enez lagoons are controlled by seawater–freshwater inputs and by salinity. The purpose of this work is about to present data about of the Enez lagoons, and analyze the diversity of ostracods of them.
Hydrodiplomacy is the emerging framework where legal acts, based on technical data and information, aim to support commonly accepted solutions to water-related tensions among states with ...transboundary waters. In this research, hydrodiplomacy components in relation to (a) policy, (b) preventive, (c) cooperative, and (d) technical aspects are considered together with climate change, which is bound to destabilize the core element of hydrodiplomacy, i.e., water. The study area is composed of the five transboundary river basins of Greece. The coupling of all these different nature elements is conducted with the use of the AHP multicriteria method, and the results of a normalized output that quantifies water transboundary cooperation in the climate crisis era are given.
The paper reports a palaeoxylotomical study of petrified palm remains (stem, root, rachis) collected from some fossil sites of Greece (Evros, Lemnos, Lesbos and Kastoria) aged to the late Oligocene ...to early Miocene. Five species of Palmoxylon were identified: P. daemonoropsoides (Unger) Kirchheimer, corr., P. chamaeropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., P. coryphoides Ambwani et Mehrotra, P. sabaloides Greguss, P. trachycarpoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov. and P. phoenicoides Hofmann. Also found were two species of Rhizopalmoxylon (R. daemonoropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., R. phoenicoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov.) and Palmocaulon sp. aff. Phoenix L. These new identifications add new elements to the forest assemblages of the Oligocene–Miocene Greek flora, useful for understanding the evolution of the Cenozoic palaeoclimate in the Aegean area.
The use of technological applications is directly influenced by the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of technology according to the Technology Acceptance Model. In e-commerce ...applications, the ease or not someone understands how the electronic purchase process works can act positively or as a deterrent, to buy or not. Also, someone is positively influenced by the perceived relative advantage when s/he considers the electronic purchase, and negatively by the complexity perceived on the online purchase process. Certainly, the price and quality are still key factors in making purchases, as in traditional commerce. Evros is an area located in an important geographical area in northeast Greece, in the borders with Bulgaria and Turkey. It is a path for the trade among the three countries. In such a new trade area, there are a lot of issues to be addressed with regard to the consumer's purchasing behaviour. For residents of border areas, a lot of factors appear to be involved that may affect the user to carry out or not, an e-commerce purchase. The study aims to empirically investigate how factors such as gender, age, educational level, culture, nationality, Internet access, familiarity with technology, price, ease of purchase, risk, trust and security of the website, design of the site, services it offers, past experience and the name and reputation of the e-shop, affect the consumers, residents of this outermost geographical area. The survey was conducted by interviewing 200 people, residents of Evros. The findings are interesting and show that the factors affecting the purchase are gender, level of education and income. Although, the study suffers from a limitation in that it uses a convenience sampling technique without a fully matched profile of the respondents, it could be a basis of a reliable comparison for future research. The major contribution of this study is that it is the first attempt to investigate the impact of the aforementioned factors to the e-commerce in this part of Europe.
This study explored the capability of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and regularised kernel Fisher's discriminant analysis (rkFDA) machine learning supervised classifiers in extracting flooded area ...from optical Landsat TM imagery. The ability of both techniques was evaluated using a case study of a riverine flood event in 2010 in a heterogeneous Mediterranean region, for which TM imagery acquired shortly after the flood event was available. For the two classifiers, both linear and non-linear (kernel) versions were utilised in their implementation. The ability of the different classifiers to map the flooded area extent was assessed on the basis of classification accuracy assessment metrics. Results showed that rkFDA outperformed SVMs in terms of accurate flooded pixels detection, also producing fewer missed detections of the flooded area. Yet, SVMs showed less false flooded area detections. Overall, the non-linear rkFDA classification method was the more accurate of the two techniques (OA = 96.23%, K = 0.877). Both methods outperformed the standard Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) thresholding (OA = 94.63, K = 0.818) by roughly 0.06 K points. Although overall accuracy results for the rkFDA and SVMs classifications only showed a somewhat minor improvement on the overall accuracy exhibited by the NDWI thresholding, notably both classifiers considerably outperformed the thresholding algorithm in other specific accuracy measures (e.g. producer accuracy for the "not flooded" class was ~10.5% less accurate for the NDWI thresholding algorithm in comparison to the classifiers, and average per-class accuracy was ~5% less accurate than the machine learning models). This study provides evidence of the successful application of supervised machine learning for classifying flooded areas in Landsat imagery, where few studies so far exist in this direction. Considering that Landsat data is open access and has global coverage, the results of this study offers important information towards exploring the possibilities of the use of such data to map other significant flood events from space in an economically viable way.
Coordination on the management of transboundary waters is crucial for the development of riparian regions; nevertheless, lack of common legislation frameworks and communication channels jeopardize ...any cooperation among transboundary parties. The paper investigates the progress that has been conducted before and after the implementation of European Union’s common water policies in the management of transboundary surface waters and groundwaters shared between Bulgaria and Greece. To do so, the latest derivatives of the Water Framework and Flood Directives’ implementation process in both countries are analysed and processed to identify the quality and quantity (floods) of the surface waters’ status on the three transboundary river basins’ which are shared between the two countries, as well as the quality status of the groundwater bodies located in the boundary area. The outputs are compared with identified problems and pressures that were reported in the transboundary area before the operational implementation of the Directives. In terms of surface waters, the research demonstrates a remarkable amelioration of the inflows’ quality status to the downstream river basins. The most significant problem is induced floods due to transboundary waters, however the recent activation of a cooperation mechanism is a very promising engagement. Finally, it has been established that the transboundary groundwater bodies are of good status, but additional groundwater formations are proposed to be designated as transboundary ones. Concluding, legislative and technical aspects of the EU water Directives have significantly fostered shared waters management in the case study area, with the proposed methodological framework to be applicable in all EU’s shared waters.
