On 17th-19th May the final conference of Clima project will be held in Rome, palazzo Patrizi Clementi. All the interested people are warmly invited to partecipate.
Mobile gamma spectrometry survey at Falerii Novi
Mobile gamma spectrometry was carried out across the site of Falerii Novi in the month of July. Using two, 20 litre NaI detectors a drive-over survey was conducted across the site to determine the spatial distribution of Cs-137, which is derived from nuclear weapons testing and accidents. When Ca-137 is deposited from the atmosphere, it binds strongly to clay minerals in the topsoils, hence mapping its distribution allows us to map the movement of topsoil across the site of Falerii Novi and to identify areas at risk from water and tillage erosion. In addition a higher resolution survey using detectors mounted close to the ground was carried out across the fields in the northern area of the site. This arrangement optimises the detection of natural geologically derived radionuclides that it is hoped may provide information about the buried archaeological remains.
Clima at RSCY 2017
Clima platform has been presented during the “Fifth International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation of Environment”, that has been held on March 20-23, 2017 in Cyprus. Project aims, methodologies and achievements have been illustrated during the session “Cultural Heritage & Geology”, chaired by C. Ioannidis.
During the Conference, also the fourth CLIMA internal meeting was held.
CLIMA at JPI Cultural Heritage Research Parade
On 20-21 February 2017, Stefano de Angeli and Alessio di Iorio, representing CLIMA project participated at the JPI Cultural Heritage Research Parade. The event, hosted by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) in Brussels, Belgium, was organized by the Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage, in order to put into perspective and present results of projects granted through the two joint calls. The Parade was aimed to put highlight research applied to Cultural Heritage, illustrating and exchanging most recent research results under the Joint Programming Initiative Cultural Heritage, and speaking about the future.

CLIMA at Cultural Heritage, Disaster resilience and Climate change
CLIMA project was invited to attend the workshop focusing on ‘Cultural Heritage, Disaster resilience and Climate change’ (http://ec.europa.eu/research/index.cfm?pg=events&eventcode=0AFB78EA-D0F2-C50B-CC7D053E985B0D5A). The contribution of EU Research and Innovation’ took place in Bruxelles with the participation of policy makers, civil society, researchers and innovators.
The Research and Innovation projects ongoing within the EU H2020 and JPI programmes, focusing on cultural heritage and disasters risk reduction and management, were presented within a dedicated workshop, in order to share the experience so far gained and to improve synergies and to identify space for future cooperation.

End-User conference in Stirling (UK) for CLIMA project
On 24th November 2015, in Stirling (UK), it has been helded the End Users workshop of the project “Cultural Landscape risk Identification, Management and Assessment” (CLIMA).
The End Users conference aimed at presenting the project to potential end-users, and to receive back guidelines and expert advices, in a way to improve the potentiality and the applicability of the project results. Continue reading End-User conference in Stirling (UK) for CLIMA project
