Climate change impact on world heritage sites
Google has launched a new tool that allows anyone to monitor the impacts of climate change at five of the world's most precious cultural sites. The project, "Heritage on the Edge," uses 3D mapping and other tools to capture images of World Heritage Sites that can be used for conservation.
