Scientific and Technical objectives


  • Objective 1: Develop novel methodologies using medium-resolution remote sensing satellite data, including Copernicus Space Programme products, for distant monitoring of built heritage monuments and sites.
  • Objective 2: Conduct low-altitude UAV data acquisition campaigns to map spatiotemporal changes in coastal zones. Utilize advanced cartographic techniques to create 2D and 3D geovisualizations illustrating the impact of coastal erosion.
  • Objective 3: Investigate a hierarchical semantic scheme based on machine learning to evaluate macro and detailed categories of change in coastal areas using EO-derived data.
  • Objective 4: Develop a proxy tool using satellite imaging to monitor the health of Posidonia oceanica meadows ecosystems—Correlate satellite data with biotic indices and historical physicochemical data.
  • Objective 5: Implement risk analysis to identify vulnerable elements in coastal areas exposed to hazards. Assess the level of risk associated with these elements.
  • Objective 6: Modify and improve strategies for implementing non-destructive geophysical mapping methods. Focus on reconstructing cultural dynamics of past human activity in coastal and ultra-shallow aquatic environments in the eastern Mediterranean.
