An "unprecedented scientific investigation" is underway at two of Lisbon's most famous landmarksand it's all about climate change.
The 500-year-old Jer ? 'nimos Monastery and the 16th-century Bel ?'m Tower, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, are the subject of the study, which is being conducted with the help of the US Embassy in Lisbon and the National Park Service.
" Rising air temperatures, sea level changes, and changes in groundwater ripples are occurring as a local expression of global climate change," the director of the two UNESCO World Heritage sites tells Portugal's Lusa news agency, per NBC News.
"The presence and action of countless visitors, as well as the storms that are taking place, have an impact on the monument that needs to be dealt with, without sensationalism or speculation," she adds.
The research team is led by Barbara Judy, an architect and expert in historic structures and cultural landscapes.
Judy is expected to present the findings from the first phase of the study on Nov.
