Description

Abstract
European heritage boasts a great variety of natural and cultural resources, including landscapes, archaeological sites, historical buildings, traditions, and folkloristic events. This cultural heritage (CH) is nowadays at risk, endangered by different kinds of environmental pressures causing physical degradation and destruction of ecofacts and historical contexts and monuments. The effects of the interaction between standing and buried ancient features and natural elements, i.e. atmosphere and soil, are today exacerbated by other factors, such as human pressures and, most recently and for the future, by climate change.

RESEARCH (REmote Sensing techniques for ARCHaeology) aims at testing risk assessment methodology using an integrated system of documentation and research in the fields of archaeology and environmental studies. It will introduce a strategy and select most efficient tools for risk assessment and harmonization of data, criteria, and indicators, to be used to assess and monitor the impact of environmental changes on tangible cultural heritage assets. The project addresses the design and development of a multi-task thematic platform, combining advanced remote sensing technologies with GIS application for mapping and long-term monitoring of archaeological heritage in order to identify changes due to environmental factors, climate change, and anthropic pressures.
