Durham University and British Council
You started by learning to interpret satellite imagery and monitor archaeological changes to archaeological sites before exploring a step-by-step guide of how to use Google Earth Pro to find, record, and monitor archaeological sites. Once you’d developed your skills, you looked at identifying and assessing damage and threats to heritage sites, such as natural erosion or construction, and then recorded your findings.
