Description du projet
Surveillance des sites du patrimoine culturel
Le cumul de milliers d’années d’histoire humaine en Europe a généré une riche diversité de sites archéologiques et du patrimoine culturel, tous importants pour les cultures de ses pays. Malheureusement, en raison de leur ruine et de leur délabrement physiques et chimiques, conjugués aux effets de plus en plus prononcés du changement climatique, y compris, mais sans s’y limiter, la détérioration de l’érosion du sol et de la stabilité structurelle, il est de la plus haute importance d’assurer leur observation systémique et constante. Le projet RESEARCH, financé par l’UE, cherche à rendre la satisfaction de ce besoin viable pour les autorités. Pour ce faire, il prévoit d’introduire une plateforme multitâche qui utilise les technologies de télédétection appliquées en parallèle aux systèmes d’information géographique pour cartographier et surveiller les sites du patrimoine culturel. Il proposera ainsi aux autorités un outil abordable pour surveiller le processus de dégradation, de permettre une maintenance préventive et de réduire les coûts de restauration.
Objectif
Europe has rich and diverse cultural heritage resources, which include urban and rural landscapes, comprising standing monuments and archaeological remains. Nowadays Europe’s Cultural Heritage (CH) is at risk, endangered by environmental processes and anthropogenic pressures. Physical and chemical destruction and degradation of structures and artefacts amplify the natural deterioration and reduce the ability of the soil to preserve CH. In addition to physical damages, the intensive human activities and the effects of climate changes are responsible of the increase of soil erosion affecting structure stability and producing significant negative consequences on the conservation of the archaeological artefacts. In this scenario, authorities in charge to CH preservation have a strong requirement for systematic, effective, usable and affordable tools and services to monitor the degradation process to enable preventive maintenance and to reduce the cost of the restoration. The broad spectra of Satellite Earth Observations (EO) provide the ideal platform to undertake a wide range of effective, cost-efficient and up-to-date programmable analysis, as a support to traditional tools. RESEARCH addresses the design and development of a multi-task platform, combining advanced remote sensing technologies with GIS application for mapping and long term monitoring of archaeological CH in order to identify changes due to climate changes and anthropic pressures. The EO processing chain will address the major risks affecting CH including the degradation due to soil erosion, land movement and vegetation as well as risks due to anthropic pressure. RESEARCH will coordinate the existing expertise and research efforts of seven beneficiaries into a synergetic plan of collaborations and exchanges of personnel to offer a comprehensive transfer of knowledge and training environment for the researchers in the specific area.
