Visit at the Tombs of the Kings for site inspection
On February 21st, Dr Nicholas Kyriakides, Dr Renos Votsis and Dr Orestes Marangos, visited the archaeological site, Tombs of the Kings in Paphos. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a visual structural inspection of the tombs, with a primary focus on observing and documenting the primary fissures on the stone monuments. The inspection covered the entire site, including all tombs, and the fissures were recorded on an aerial image (Figure 2) produced during the first summer school by...
ENGINEER project – DLR International Conference on Geoinformation Data, Processing and Applications – DLR GeoDPA 2024
After an invitation from the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), space-based and geoinformation applications carried out by the CUT team for heritage will be presented at the DLR International Conference on Geoinformation Data, that is expected to be carried out between 23-25.4.2024 in Oldenburg, Lower-Saxonie. This is the first International Conference that DLR is organised in the last 20 years. Glad to be part of it!
Interim report uploaded
