PARNASSUS is an interdisciplinary research project investigating the adverse environmental effects and adaptation measures needed for the protection of cultural heritage from climate change impact. The project is organised in Work Packages.
PARNASSUS is implemented under 'The Science and Heritage Programme' , funded by the AHRC (Arts & Humanities Research Council) and EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). The Academic Project Partners involved in the project are:
