Introduction to Heritage at Risk: Becoming Active in Climate Heritage Research and Networks [Deeper Digs]
Rising temperatures, sea level, and number of storms cause an increase in hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and erosion events that all impact heritage sites around the world. Archaeologists are well poised to respond to the crisis by engaging local communities, working with local governments, participating in transdisciplinary research, and advocating for climate heritage policy. This seminar will discuss heritage at risk as a specialization, climate heritage communities, and various research networks. The workshop will provide case studies from several countries, an overview of research questions employed in current climate heritage research and encourage you to join the heritage at risk effort where you work and live.
