 So, as pointed out by the chairman, my talk is about the fuel risks and looking under this presentation most is related to coastline, this erosion of this and so on. And so therefore just talk a little bit slightly different than the other thing is. I'm not an acrobaticist, I'm not expert in heritage protection, I'm a google geomorphologist, so this will find a background that is different. I would like to talk about two different sites, the Alpine Basin in Alpine Basins, it's Switzerland and it's here in the south, so it's there. The first thing that we have to think about is what is the problem, the problem is in the publication of the same form as the same thing as on your coastline. I assume that our heritage sites are vulnerable to the effects of climate change on floods. This is the idea behind it, but I can't say you, once you follow our research, our networks and pages, I'm working on the paper floods. It's not so easy to see the influence of climate change, because they are very much an important part of uncertainties. One of the uncertainties is, for example, if your area is in catchlines, which are unloaded, the catchlines you don't have instrumental data or historical data, like the little prize or 1,000 years of historical data, it's fantastic, but if you don't know them in these catchlines, then you have to look for other records, or even records are very short. This is important, because you need to get an idea about the large catastrophic events, and these events are not high-frequency events, but low-frequency events. Therefore, you can imagine, you probably get the largest events once in 100 years, once in 200 years, so the cities remember that they don't get most of the places. The other thing is the catchlines. We will catch them as post-net as well. The processes are, on one hand, you have the controlling pictures, which is very complex. There are a lot of variables, which are included there. There is the process, and then the sensitivity of the catchline. So those are the responses. This is another problem. What I want to show is only some example. I can't resolve every problem, of course not, but I'll give you some examples of methodology. That's an interesting point for you, about how to use integrated pay-off file in search. The first thing we go to is the northeast of the Alps. You can see this. It's the catchline, the headboard of the catchline. Our river is 4,200 meters high. This is after flooding. It's not during the flooding. You can imagine the impact there. And you can imagine in mountain areas, they have very few space for settlements. Most of the settlements, you can see this very nicely. You can see that this is the data on the archaeological survey of Pantl-Bern. All the sites are mostly located on the billet bottom, which is on two floors. There we get the problem of flooding there. Since theolithic and the Roman Age and so on. And then we go on the other side. All the dots here are historic buildings since the 14th century. This is a very valuable wooden construction. And to see it again, these buildings are on the pathway. So therefore, you have quite a big problem. And of course, if you see this here, the great shadow. The reason for the present settlement pattern is the same. The people live in the flood. So, you see this. This could be affected. It's the Regina River, or it's called the In-Bank over there. But then it over-tops the floods in the 2005 event. And it goes straight through the village of Wildershield. These are historical houses. They are damaged by flooding on one hand. On the houses. And on the other hand, we have aggregation process. It's not affected. It's not only flooding. It's also agitation. Not only erosion. It's agitation also. You will see this. Then the first question we have to think about. What is the flood valley? Because of the events, how they are distributed. This is a 2005 flood event. But I did occur at the press said, OK, this is one event in 500 years. This was a very large event. But if you go looking on historical data on the same catchment. And you see, oh, we have one. We have two. We have three. We have four. We did five events. We did five events. So it's a lot more than years. The other thing, and we are lucky to have this data. If you go only on the instrumental data, then of course it's the largest event during the last 108 years. So therefore, instrumental data, of care for calibrating. And the historical data is quite good. And you see the last important climate shift. Let's say it like this. But if you want to go back and you really want to understand climate, then you have to go, have to make research based on natural archives. You use sediments. You can also use dendropilology. You can use morphology. Lightning and so on. We do a multi-proxy approach. And this is a profile that you can in this direction. This is a quite long series. I will show this in more detail in the next slide. Of course, we integrate also historical data that we got from the area of instrumental data which we want to understand also what was the magnitude of the flash. It's quite tricky. But this is easy. That's not the problem. It's quite good. Works quite good. And then we make correlations with other catchpins until we try to also form a technological point of view to understand the events. So this is probably and I don't go into these details. I'll need to show with this curve here. This one, this blue one, this blue one, and these are flat properties from the geochemical properties of the sediments we got from the flatness. The only thing you have to think about or worry about is in this direction you get flats. In this direction, you get more soil formation or less flat activity. And you see the curve is going down here and up and so on. I shaded this with the blue parts, the flats periods with a cluster of flats which occurs during cooler climate pulses and in yellowish color the flats pulses during warmer climate pulses. And you see we have really problem here with the cooler climate. We can make the same thing with the longer time period. Now we have 2,000, let's say 2,600 years. This is again our curve and the same, it's more or less the same picture as the thumb of the cooler climate. This data had to also be correlated with the lake. This was very active in this and it came to the same result. We have the periodicity, we have solar cycles, the zoo cycle, the geyser cycle, maybe one and five year cycle as well. So therefore we have a global signal, they are probably the same. I think it's basic to understand the dynamics of the area. So you see again the flat here after the flat, so let's say the flat here can't flat the whole valley bottom so this is quite dangerous and on the unhide it's very difficult to settle down. And it's not only because of the water, it's also because the channels are shifting and they're shifting with the reconstruction of the last 600 years. You see all the different colours and then it starts to change in this area. So therefore it's very difficult to settle down and all the villages which were constructed in the flat disappeared during the last 500, 600 years and the people settle on this higher elevation around here which is one of the unique facts but you get other problems of course. Now this is the fan data a little bottom of the gradient and therefore the people are settling there. You see this, Mark the Yellowish one most important settlements, historical settlements then this is the dots these are historical houses over there then you have archaeological findings that's here, the castle over there and so on. And this are few instructors who are mapping all the structures and then reconstructing taking this form and coring a little of coring in this area and dating the settlements then you get an idea about what was the dynamic and you see this are the different channels before the bankment during the last let's say 200 successful bankment during the last 90 years. Let's have a look on the settlement pattern the same map you see this is the flood plain from the Luchina today from the past and this is a little fan where you get debris flows must be affected by debris flows and if you divide in historical houses since the 15th century if you divide it into cooler and warmer climate phases here is the solar activity I compare this because we know because of the solar cycle on the flood dynamic then you see that on mostly all the houses which were constructed in the flood plain over here are constructed during warmer climate so there were people who knew quite well what they did during history and during cooler climate there were settling more on the higher ground so these are some of the nice historical houses people lived there, they used this and you can see another effect there so this is the distance here and the structure on the ground so therefore you can imagine the difference high in this result of flooding and aggravation the people of the villages and the houses are affected by aggravation the older houses have now staircases going down and you can if you look a lot of houses like this to measure that you can reconstruct here all the land all the land surface and so on it's very interesting the other thing is why they are different here in 1529 there was a large so therefore this house were constructed before this people after the large event so this is the difference here ok this I don't want to go and this is very complicated but it's really interesting to use this data to reconstruct what is the solution here this is quite clever what they did is can see how many people lived in this area so what they did is on one hand the improvement of the pavement and then of the dredging of the channels controlled flooding this area here this comes from the river this is the flooding area the airport the industrial area and so on and bypass so these are the tragedies here cost around 31 million francs so the other thing if you're thinking about supplement on the Lugu fans cones so the story is quite different you can see this here there's a cone of the Eistelbach here there's some only the historical houses of the village survived in that area and you can imagine there's dredging of the Lugu fans and the process of have much more energy and it's very very dangerous to get blocks of let's say one of the tons coming from this area so this is the problem of these tragedies creeks in the Alps and what you can see they are on the opposite side of the today's channel and this you can see this in many of the villages in Switzerland but the people there is a detour a natural detour of the of the channel and the people went to the other side and to the most this little more most disparate area of the Lugu fans and reconstructed the morphology demolore and historical data you see in the reconstruct this shift of the channel to this side well this is the measurement here across the river 3 million francs in improved the back ends again this is not the first Lugu idea you see this on the ground there are all the back ends from the 19th century but now they make it big probably for the landscape we can criticise it properly but it's really a good measurement it's safe it's this area but you have to maintain it these are data from the morning from this base which is over here over there this is a Lugu fan and they are lucky to get these measurements but we can reconstruct the dynamic of the curve for about 3,800 years and we can reconstruct how the channel shifts of a Lugu fan and this is a natural behaviour therefore now we are at this stage in the future you have to maintain the system you have to drag out the material out there are a lot of segments doing decades but they have to move in the future that's the only way I think so and the effect of aggravation becomes also very clear if you have this nice church of Michel's of Myringen you see the different colours and this is the ages here you see the aggravation effect with also some villages also the church here and how the church and you just reconstruct it on the altar the floor is rising up this is exactly what is the same as we saw with the other wooden buildings this is spectacular building the other thing is what about climate change and what are the dynamics flood increased or not this is the question and to answer the question understand the dynamics of the climate what we do is on one hand pay the climate modeling and on the other hand we are looking here biometroverbal analysis of the sea surface pressure from the sensitive sensitive central area analysis project we reconstruct which is the type of pattern that was very effective get doing this these are large events and we have the summer north Atlantic translation and positive phase and we get more from it when we drain it the more moist air or you get it in a negative mode you get it from that land the second area is southeastern Spain and you can see this rambler here this torrent and how do you what do you get how high goes the water it goes up to here to this level as you see some milk there and the water in 2012 run over this terrace here about the rock taps so it is really a large difference we are going to see in one building others we reconstructed the slikings and all the biologies on the rock on the rock walls maybe in the 1973 the level of flat development were quite high so these are the questions the questions are Amarthora, Ketchum and Antas and Aguas we studied there and the other question was again, what is the relation of climate and flats this is a temperature we reconstructed for different climatology meteorological stations about the last 160 years and these are these different parts the plus here are the flood index indices from the damage with the curfew of floods and you see that there are clusters there are clusters in large peaks so this is the first cluster here before 1900 then you get another blue cluster around the 70s and you see these are more related to cooler climate phases again whereas it's smaller the secondary floods here are more related to warmer climate which is of course precipitation it's also important you don't have the data unfortunately in South East Spain but you see this it's also related to higher animal precipitation and so on and this happens also during the last event so what about the interesting thing because of the magnitude of the floods the flash floods running through the mid-training people know that already and the people settles on higher places on terrors and surfaces of travertine for example you have the capolitic site so if you map it carefully hemoporologically you've got to re-use the soil for the global terraces then you get a good idea if you're safe or not of course there are other sites which are in the middle you don't know if the floods will reach this or not as cannibalism the global ruin is there it's over there and you're not sure if the floods can reach this level and then if you do some stratigraphy petiozoic research and so on this year found out here is from the last 6,000 years the flood didn't reach this level of the of the rural ruins over there so this is another mythological approach however there's something interesting that we observe there are a lot of hydrological structures there there are historical structures monocled arcades and so on from the last hundreds of years but also from the last 120 to 130 years it's interesting they were constructed during the flood here and then they say okay they survived this why did they fail not doing the 70 treatment then which was much larger you can see this by the presentation there why did they fail in 2012 the answer of this okay is it's not the attainment of the structure and the other thing is that all the structure of the construction by Woody and our family is now this is related to the management of riverbeds and also these streams are dramatic there this is I skip this it's only to say you see the landscape that changed here from 56 irrigation things I mapped this in 1993 then in 2006 it goes away from traditional by family irrigation to trigger the irrigation and to last but finally you get there's got a lot of runoff and a lot of erosion yeah so and this other then is the result of this they have the tourism here and they affected by the floods because in the flood of course yeah the 2012 but we have the idea that this could be really that something going wrong there and it's not the climate thing it's the man it's the management we're just hearing there's a problem in the future you see again here there's a reconstruction of the of the climate pattern of these events we are working on this my colleague my kind of painter's work on that so we probably hopefully we can contribute the different types of patterns of cold drops or fronts or the blocking systems how they're related to all the pool of climate pools so therefore in conclusion what I think we need long-term climate of floods serious to understand the pandemic this is basic this is fundamental to risk assessment of heritage sites and this is not only the climate change the factor which is important in this area it's also the land management the flood management land use and all the things which I showed you the local communities are always women during the centuries this is problems because they are the knowledge how to handle this we saw that quite well and the important thing is to learn from that that we don't that we don't miss this knowledge that we don't apply this knowledge because of higher technology our level today the passive mitigation is one best is the best strategy to avoid damage to or is it heritage sites or is it housing but thank you very much
