There are few places in the world where the effects of climate change can be studied so precisely or where human error has been so threatening to preservation.
POMPEII, Italy—A thin band of smoke rises from the cone of Mt. Vesuvius, a subtle warning that this supervolcano is still very much alive. A few miles down the flanks in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, a group of 55 experts wearing white hazmat suits and yellow hard hats tap at what’s left of the buildings in this once vibrant city.
The multimillion-dollar project sponsored by the European Union, Italy’s Cultural Ministry, and the University of Salerno’s civil engineering department is meant to turn these haunted ruins into one of the world’s foremost research sites to study climate change.
Petti said the project’s aim is to develop innovative solutions for heritage monitoring, leveraging advanced technologies to develop specific procedures and methodologies for the screening of the conditions of instability, deterioration and fragility that can cause the structures to collapse.
