Project description
A trifecta approach to protecting cultural heritage from nature
Cultural heritage (CH) provides evidence of past events and contributes to current well-being. Preserving CH for future generations requires an understanding of the challenges. In this context, the EU-funded TRIQUETRA project will explore the effects of climate change and natural hazards on CH, including climate-related hazards, extreme water, snow and ice hazards, geological and geophysical hazards, structural damage hazards, chemical and biological hazards as well as related compound and cascading effects. It will create an evidence-based assessment platform that will allow precise risk stratification through a three-step approach of risk identification, quantification and mitigation. The platform, along with a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, will act as a decision support tool towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation.
Objective
The TRIQUETRA project aims at creating an evidence-based assessment platform that allows precise risk stratification, and also creates a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, acting as a Decision Support Tool towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation. The overall approach of Triquetra is based on three distinct steps:
1. Risk Identification
2. Risk Quantification
3. Risk Mitigation
This “trifecta” approach (hence the name Triquetra) creates a framework of risk assessment and risk mitigation so as to tackle as many of these risks as possible, in the most efficient way available. This is further analysed in the following sections.
