Aristotle University of Thessaloniki –Special Account of Research…

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with more than 2000 members of scientific personnel and 45000 undergraduate and graduate students. The Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering (LHTEE) belongs to the Energy Section of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Aristotle University Thessaloniki, Greece. The Lab is responsible for 11 pre-graduate courses in the Mechanical Engineering Department. LHTEE conducts research in the field of environmental engineering and energy systems with emphasis on the rational use of raw materials and energy, the assessment of the environmental burden caused by various processes and the optimization of environmental control and management practices. Scientific work spans over a wide range of areas, from air pollution modelling to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and from recycling studies to eco- design. LHTEE provides support to public authorities and the private sector within its area of activities.

The School of Agriculture Department of Hydraulics, Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering (DHSSAE) established in 1937 has a long time experience in educational and research activities concerning environmental modelling and protection in agricultural areas. The Main related research interests of the DHSSAE staff is specialized in environmental modelling and impact assessment, crop yield prediction and decision support systems in agriculture. It is involved in basic and applied research that covers many aspects of water and soil science including crop pattern allocation, irrigation systems and scheduling, groundwater modelling, nitrate pollution, soil chemistry and provides a wide-range of research quality analyses for soil and water samples using state-of-the-art analytical equipment and techniques. DHSSAE is in close connection with the agricultural society providing consulting services on water and soil resources management and for improving both agrifood production and environmental quality.
