Changing conditions: Global warming-related hazards and vulnerable rural populations in Mediterranean Europe (2024)
Journal Article
Graus, S., Ferreira, T. M., Vasconcelos, G., & Ortega, J. (2024). Changing conditions: Global warming-related hazards and vulnerable rural populations in Mediterranean Europe. Urban Science, 8(2), Article 42. https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci8020042

Human-induced climate change has profound effects on extreme events, particularly those linked to global warming, such as heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires. These events disrupt ecosystems, emphasizing the imperative to understand the interactions a...

An ICT-enhanced methodology for the characterization of vernacular built heritage at a regional scale (2024)
Journal Article
Arias Tapiero, J. C., Graus, S., Khei, S., Silva, D., Conde, O., Ferreira, T. M., …Vasconcelos, G. (in press). An ICT-enhanced methodology for the characterization of vernacular built heritage at a regional scale. International Journal of Architectural Heritage, https://doi.org/10.1080/15583058.2024.2320862

The characterization of vernacular buildings is crucial for understanding the historical, social, and cultural significance of a community. These buildings reflect a collective memory and result from a long adaptation process to the local environment...
