You will be part of the ESA Φ-lab. Our mission is to accelerate the future of Earth Observation (EO) by embracing disruptive innovation and be the catalyst for disruptive/transformative innovation in the sector. Climate change is placing increasing stress on cultural heritage, from Venice’s flood risk to coastal erosion of archaeological sites and desertification threatening ancient settlements. Earth Observation satellites such as Sentinel-1, -2, and -3 provide valuable data for monitoring these pressures at multiple scales (structural, environmental, regional). Proactive monitoring could safeguard cultural tourism, which represents a major socio-economic sector. As part of the internship you shall: Use EO data to monitor climate-related threats to heritage landscapes and monuments ; Develop a vulnerability index for selected UNESCO sites for specific geographical areas ; Assess potential socio-economic consequences of site degradation, focusing on cultural tourism revenues and regional development.
