International Project

Proterina C project focuses on climate change impacts on wildlands and anthropic areas, with particular emphasis on the relations between climate changes and risk.

PROTERINA-C focuses on issues linked to climatic change and its impacts on natural and anthropized environment, with special attention to hazard conditions induced by these changes. PROTERINA-C involves activities related to deepen the knowledge and to develop models for evaluating forest fires hazard in Liguria, Corsica and Sardinia, in connection to climate variability. The agreement between ARPA-Sardegna and CNR-IMATI concerns the part of the project aiming at studying the impacts of the variability of climatic conditions: (i) Analysis on annual and inter-annual variability of temperatures and precipitations; (ii) Identification of possible impacts of climate change on vegetation, urban areas and agriculture (iii) Calibration of phenological and phytopathological models. Connections between static wildfire risk and climate have been studied in cooperation with Fondazione Cima.
