'The Atlas of Climate Change Impact on European Cultural Heritage' aims to reveal the links between climate science and the potential damage to our material heritage. While the vulnerability atlas shows overall patterns of threat, greater detail about the scientific basis of the project can be found in the appendices, which give some background to the underlying science.
