About
Dr. Vivien De Lucia is a leading researcher in the intersection of geomatics, engineering geology, and cultural heritage preservation. Her work centers on applying advanced remote sensing technologies—specifically LiDAR and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)—to assess geological hazards and structural stability at critical archaeological sites. In her landmark 2024 study on the Grotta Paglicci Paleolithic site in Italy, she pioneered the use of SLAM-based LiDAR to create high-resolution 3D models of the cave and surrounding rock slopes. This work enabled precise evaluation of rock slope stability, directly informing conservation strategies for a site containing invaluable Paleolithic artifacts and faunal remains spanning thousands of years. With 8 citations already for this recent publication, her research is gaining rapid recognition for its novel integration of geospatial engineering with archaeological risk assessment. Dr. De Lucia’s contributions are vital for safeguarding irreplaceable cultural heritage against natural degradation and geological threats, establishing her as a key figure in the emerging field of digital heritage preservation.
