“…It is expected that the ongoing CFD analyses and careful post-processing of the data will help decipher the hydrodynamic effects in relation to the incoming wave conditions and the geometry of the cliff (cross-section). Moreover, the same CFD method is currently being used for assessing the wave and tsunami impact on the other coastal site (Aegina) and the underwater site (Epidaurus), while more advanced particle-based and coupled methods like the explicit Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics-FEM [36] will be used to investigate the cascading effects of water hazards; and particularly the water-borne debris.…”

Cultural heritage (CH) sites are frequently exposed to natural elements, and their exposure becomes particularly precarious with the onset of climate change. This increased vulnerability places these sites at risk of deterioration or complete destruction. Risks such as land deformation, floods, acid rain, and erosion significantly threaten historic monuments, while water-related hazards, significantly influenced by both climate change and human activities, present a particularly grave risk to these invaluable sites. Considerable research efforts have focused on safeguarding CH sites. However, there remains a deficiency in systemic approaches towards identifying and mitigating risks for CH sites. The TRIQUETRA project proposes a technological toolbox and a methodological framework for tackling climate change risks and natural hazards threatening CH in the most efficient way possible. It aims at creating an evidence-based assessment platform allowing precise risk stratification as well as a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, acting as a Decision Support System (DSS) towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation. TRIQUETRA is a European project that brings together a diverse group of researchers with varied expertise, encompassing university research groups, research institutes, public entities, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. In this article, TRIQUETRAs overall methodology is presented, and preliminary results concerning risk identification, TRIQUETRAs knowledge base, as well as novel sensors and coatings, are discussed.
