Archaeological Landscapes and Built Heritage: Climate Risk and Contribution of Remote Sensing Technologies

Abstract

The focus of this chapter is the contribution of remote sensing (RS) technologies in climate risk mainly for archaeological landscapes and built heritage. It will study the use of RS technologies for sea level rise scenario risk assessment and the use of multi-temporal multisource data and statistical indices for the detection of changes in built heritage. This chapter is divided in two sections: the first one focuses on sea level rise and potential threats, while the second one focuses on monitoring of temporal changes in built heritage using multisource multi-temporal data and indices.
