TRIQUETRA
TRIQUETRA is a collaborative project involving 21 organizations from 7 countries that develops an evidence-based risk assessment and mitigation platform for cultural heritage (CH) sites. Its three-step approach—risk identification, quantification, and mitigation—supports a Decision Support System (DSS) enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions on CH protection. Data is collected through advanced methods such as hydrographic surveys, UAVs with optical, multispectral, and LiDAR sensors, underwater photogrammetry, and simulation models, and validated at 8 pilot sites across Europe. In addition, TRIQUETRA develops nanotechnology-based protective coatings and a Knowledge Base platform that compiles remediation methods and new CH protection technologies, going beyond the state of the art.
Geosystems Hellas (GSH) is responsible for the project’s Data Management Plan, ensuring standardized handling of research data that is accessible, interoperable, and secure. GSH also develops the Knowledge Base platform, an electronic repository with advanced search tools to store verified climate, geological, historical, and site-specific data, along with risks and mitigation measures for cultural heritage sites. In addition, GSH leads the creation of a mitigation selection and optimization module and oversees the communication, dissemination, training, and exploitation of project results.
