Toward an Atlas

Toward an Atlas

Toward an Atlas of the European Delta Landscape, edited by Maria Chiara Tosi (IUAV) and published by ListLab is finally out. The book collects contributions by Latitude’s Taneha Kuzniecow Bacchin, Marco Ranzato, Fabio Vanin and others who participated to the three editions of the Summer School Erasmus Intensive Programme on the Po Delta organized by IUAV University of Venice between 2010-2012, the last of which included the participation of Latitude as part of the research Veneto 2100: Living with Water.

This book aims at describing deltaic territories in Europe that are fragile and affected by important climate changes. These characteristics are producing significant effects on the studied deltas and on the ways they are inhabited. The book proposes an analysis of the most important features of some of the European Deltas – the Po delta, the Ebro, the Rhine, the Rhone, the Nemunas, the Guadalquivir and the Danube one – by comparing them, in order to identify their common and specific problems.
