Out now! read all about it! Our long awaited publication on how satellite technologies and large-scale digital datasets can be used to monitor and protect underwater cultural heritage. Thanks to funding we were able to investigate, with and using our looting over the Egadi Bronze Age site off the west coast of Sicily. Our research demonstrates how tools including AIS vessel tracking, satellite imagery, and machine learning can help identify risks, deter heritage crime, and support both real-time monitoring and retrospective investigations https://honorfrostfoundation.org/2026/01/23/new-publication-satellite-monitoring-of-underwater-cultural-heritage/

We are delighted this is now in the public domain!

We’re delighted to share Satellite Monitoring of Underwater Cultural Heritage, a new White Paper by MAST with the Maritime Observatory, produced with funding from the Honor Frost Foundation and its Steering Committee for Underwater Cultural Heritage.
The study explores how satellite data and digital technologies can help monitor, protect, and investigate threats to underwater cultural heritage, offering powerful new tools for heritage managers worldwide. https://ow.ly/hsrl50Y4NRM
