    Abstract With its wide spectrum of data, case studies, monitoring, and experimental and numerical simulation techniques, the multidisciplinary approach of material, environmental, and computer science applied to the conservation of cultural heritage offers several opportunities for the heritage science and conservation community to map and monitor state-of-the-art knowledge on natural and human-induced climate change impacts on cultural heritage-mainly constituted by the built environment-in Europe and Latin America. Geosciences' Special Issue titled "Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Resources Threatened by Climate Change" was launched to take stock of the existing but still fragmentary knowledge on this challenge, and to enable the community to respond to the implementation of the Paris agreement. These 10 papers exploit a broad range of data derived from preventive conservation monitoring conducted indoors in museums, churches, historical buildings, or outdoors in archeological sites and city centers. Case studies presented in the papers focus on a well-assorted sample of decay phenomena occurring on heritage materials (e.g., surface recession and biomass accumulation on limestone, depositions of pollutant on marble, salt weathering on inorganic building materials, and weathering processes on mortars in many local- to regional-scale study areas in the Scandinavian Peninsula, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Italy, Greece, and Panama). Besides monitoring, the methodological approaches showcased include, but are not limited to, original material characterization, decay product characterization, and climate and numerical modelling on material components for assessing environmental impact and climate change effects

    Abstract Understanding the factors that influence fire regimes in Mediterranean climates is essential to reduce their risk. This research uses Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite resources to evaluate recent changes in land surface temperature, precipitation, and vegetation and their effects in the occurrence of large fires in the Mediterranean Basin. The results of the analysis of 335 fire events occurred in southern Spain from 2001 to 2020 show an increase in hazardous meteorological factors linked to droughts and thermal anomalies. The study also examines the potential of preserving traditional landscapes to minimize such risk. In fact, the maintenance and recovering of traditional agro-pastoral activities is an effective option to reduce flammability and increase the resilience of cultural landscapes in hazardous climatic conditions.

    Abstract The Stave Churches (SCs) are one of the most iconic heritages in Norway, and only 28 medieval SCs have survived till our age in this country. They are built on wood with staves and wooden sleepers standing off the ground on foundation stones which have the primary purpose of guaranteeing structural support, ensuring integrity of the leveled foundation, and avoid ground water or rainwater penetration up to the valuable wooden structures. This paper aims to analyze the risk of Freeze-Thaw (F-T) decay on the foundation stones of the 28 SCs using an algorithm with a single climate input parameter i.e., the land surface temperature, extracted from the Global Land Data Assimilation System GLDAS which integrates satellite- and ground-based observational data products. The novel proposed algorithm estimates a climate-based index of F-T risk on foundation stones starting from the analysis of the variability of a 70-year (i.e., 1950 to 2020) land surface temperature datasets at these 28 locations. The outcome is further used to evaluate the average lifetime (half-life time) of foundation stones as well as the number of interventions necessary to guarantee their structural soundness thus providing a quantitative, predictive, and timely effective information to SC churches managers, and conservators on the climate change effect on foundation stones degradation at support of prioritization of maintenance interventions.

    Abstract The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard Terra and Aqua satellites provides measurements of several atmospheric parameters. This paper focuses on the cloud fraction data representing the number of cloudy pixels divided by the total number of pixels, and available through 1° x 1° grids spatial resolution with daily or monthly temporal resolution. The aim of the study is to propose a novel method called The Spatial-Temporal Implementation Algorithm (STIA) for analysing satellite daily 1° x 1°grid cloud fraction average values for•Comparing two datasets retrieved by MODIS aboard Aqua and Terra satellites to obtain information on the cloud formation in the afternoon and morning, respectively, thus enhancing the temporal resolution.•Comparing the actual parameter with others retrieved by instruments aboard of different satellites characterized by a better resolution. As an example of STIA application, this study uses the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) collected by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board of Aura satellite for comparison with MODIS instrument to achieve and enhanced spatial resolution of the grid-cell.

    Abstract The objective of this work is to develop a methodology for the identification of extreme rain and drought events that have occurred in the last 30 years using products derived from satellite images. Proposed methodology uses statistical reducers such as percentile, drought indexes, and map algebra at a geo big data scale. The daily precipitation data from the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information Using Artificial Neural Networks-Climate Data Record and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station Data were validated by comparison with ground station data. Extreme event maps were obtained from the use of high percentiles. Drought maps were obtained from the standardized precipitation index using low percentiles. The data were migrated to a geographic information system that allows interrelation with other geographic data. Its application to the study of the fortifications preserved in Andalusia classified all structures according to the level of exposure to these dangers and identified two areas of precipitation with different characteristics according to the influence of existing teleconnection patterns. Applied to the study of heritage landscapes, this methodological model minimizes the uncertainty associated with the use of satellite precipitation products, facilitates the planning of preventive conservation activities, and the management of existing resources in occurrence of extreme events.

  9. Article: The earliest datable noctilucent cloud observation (Parma, Italy, AD 1840)

    Abstract Noctilucent clouds (NLCs) are an uncommon phenomenon that provides information about the conditions and dynamics of the mesosphere. The first observation of NLCs was recorded in 1884/1885, following Krakatoa’s eruption in 1883. The literature speculates that this observation was trigged by the injection of millions of tons of H₂O by the Krakatoa into the stratosphere. We have discovered that 43 years before Krakatoa, Antonio Colla observed an NLC in Parma. He was a meticulous astronomer and meteorologist with special interest in astronomical and atmospheric phenomena occurring during twilight. On 18 June 1840, from 21:00 to 22:15 (Local Mean Sideral Time), Antonio Colla observed a ‘phosphoric cloud’. Analysis of the Colla’s description, the local sky and the condition of the observation proves that he was recording an NLC. This finding forces to develop a new hypothesis to explain the early NLC observations and encourages the rescue of NLC observations from documentary sources.

    Abstract The first aim of this corrigendum is to point out and correct calculation errors on solar depression angle and azimuth angle in Bertolin and Domínguez-Castro (2020a, 2020b). The second aim is to recognize that these calculations are correct in Dalin (2020). The third aim is to analyze the chances of Antonio Colla to observe the noctilucent cloud (NLC) taking into account the correct calculations of the twilight sky arc determining the illuminated area of an NLC and the uncertainties in the Colla’s observation report.
