Synopsis
Science for Venice: the risks to the most beautiful city in the world
Just a century ago, Venice was impacted less than ten times a year by the flooding; since 2000, it has occurred more than sixty times. The city is at increasing risk of being submerged, and climate change threatens its very survival: within a hundred years, the sea level could rise as much as centimetres. This accessible study is the result of three years of research conducted at Cambridge University.A study by the English charity Venice in Peril
