The research program “The Venice lagoon in the context of climate change, mitigation and adaptation measures and the evolution of land uses” was aimed at the challenges that must be faced in order to safeguard Venice and its lagoon in one scenario in which the tide regulation works at the inlets are completed and operational. In fact, it seemed right on the one hand to consolidate the knowledge acquired, also by means of environmental monitoring of the interventions, on the other hand to deepen those elements that can provide a more updated cognitive framework, in the light of new scientific awareness and changed global scenarios. Future management interventions and the use of the tools created will be based on this updated knowledge. The results of these researches will act as essential support in the first place to the activities of the Water Magistrate (today Provveditorato alle OO.PP. for the Triveneto), as responsible for the planning, design, experimentation and implementation of the protection interventions of the Lagoon of its competence. . The results may also be useful for all other local, national and international institutions operating in similar marine and coastal contexts. This Research Program intended to pay the utmost attention to the future scenarios of the Venice lagoon, also including the study of some effects of the tide regulation works in the context of the climate changes in progress and of the predicted anthropogenic pressures. Analysis of local-scale components of the relative sea level rise in light of the global future development scenarios considered by the IPCC. Investigation of the Holocene subsoil.
