We invite you to the event on the promotion of the action for the protection of underwater cultural heritage from the effects of climate change, which is implemented by the National Hellenic Research Foundation (Institute of Historical Research). The Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation supports the action, in the framework of the Initiative ’21 for climate change.
The event will take place on Friday, June 13, 2025 at 19.00, at the Historical Library of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation.
The research, led by Dr. Charikleia Papageorgiadou, seeks to shed light on the influence of climate change on underwater cultural heritage but also to investigate methods of protection of underwater archaeological finds from temperature increase, change in pH and salinity of water and the worsening of extreme weather phenomena.
