Project description
Remote sensing for protecting cultural heritage from landslide risk
Protecting cultural heritage buildings (CHBs) from slow-moving landslides is increasingly urgent due to climate change. Historic masonry churches (HMCs), in particular, are highly vulnerable and need dedicated attention. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SLIDE project will investigate how slow-moving landslides affect these churches. For this purpose, it will combine remote sensing, structural and numerical analysis and soil-structure interaction modelling. The project aims to improve understanding of the structural response of HMCs to landslides, develop tools to predict damage, and help policymakers in planning timely interventions. SLIDE will help mitigate damage to CHBs, raise public awareness of the need to protect historic buildings, and support the EU’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage.
Objective
The protection of cultural heritage buildings (CHB) against slow-moving landslides has become increasingly urgent due to climate change exacerbating these threats. Among CHB, historic masonry churches (HMC) warrant special attention due to their global spread, high risk exposure, and high vulnerability to slow-moving landslides.
SLIDE addresses this challenge by using an interdisciplinary approach that combines remote sensing, structural and numerical analysis, and soil-structure interaction modeling. For the first time, the project will thoroughly characterize and model the action of slow-moving landslides on HMC using remote sensing techniques. It will also enhance understanding of the structural response of HMC to slow-moving landslides and develop tools for damage prediction at a territorial scale.
Implemented at TU Delft under the supervision of Prof. Giorgia Giardina and benefiting from a secondment at UNIGE under the co-supervision of Prof. Chiara Calderini, SLIDE is designed to support Dr Ferrero in achieving her career objectives. The project will enable her to acquire new scientific and transferable skills. Additionally, it will strengthen her international network and enhance her ability to secure research funding, aiding her development towards an independent research position.
In the long term, SLIDE aims to: (i) generate new insights into the structural response of CHB to slow-moving landslides, (ii) enhance policymaking and enable timely damage prediction and interventions, (iii) promote the design of new strengthening measures to reduce the vulnerability of CHB, and (iv) raise public awareness about the importance of CHB protection. Through these efforts, SLIDE will mitigate damage from slow-moving landslides to CHB, contributing to the preservation of cultural heritage. In doing so, the project will also support the UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 and the European Union’s commitment to safeguarding heritage buildings.
