Research projects
THE ENDANGERED ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA PROJECT (EAMENA)
EAMENA’s Project Directors have been at the forefront of aerial archaeology in the Middle East for over two decades, undertaking annual aerial reconnaissance expeditions in conjunction with the Royal Jordanian Air Force to collect up-to-date images of the landscape and archaeological sites of Jordan. These images are then digitised and stored in the online ‘Aerial Photographic Archive for Archaeology in the Middle East’, along with digitised historic collections of aerial photographs from across the region. The archive (available online at: www.apaame.org) has provided an invaluable tool for researchers to analyse and compare sites in the region over time but critically this work has also highlighted the accelerated risk to sites, in particular from agricultural and urban expansion.
EAMENA’s project directors recognised that a radical step change was required to move from analysing and interpreting sites to responding directly to these threats and so EAMENA was established in January 2015. The majority of the team are based in the School of Archaeology at Oxford with other members based at the Universities of Leicester and Durham. This project is the first to analyse aerial data from across the whole MENA region and also to focus on the levels and types of threats to sites, including looting.
Open Innovation Hub for Irrigation System in Mediterranean Agriculture (PRIMA)
The modernization of irrigation in Mediterranean countries has boosted irrigated agriculture. This process has been possible not only through technological developments, but also with top-down public policies and, in some areas where the mild climate allows growing high value crops, the exportation market as main drivers of change. Undoubtedly, this transformation has increased performance levels. However, new compelling challenges have arisen:
- (i) the irrigation performance gap remains much greater than expected;
- (ii) irrigation intensification and expansion are at the root of pollution of valuable ecosystems and overdraft of non-renewable water resources;
- (iii) water savings are not as foreseen due to unexpected rebound effects of irrigation efficiency improvements;
- (iv) modern energy-eager pressurized systems are costly and environmentally questionable.
Furthermore, it is now clear that climate change and its foreseen variability will accentuate the vulnerability of agriculture and ecosystems, under the combined effect of increased temperature and reduced precipitation in areas already coping with water scarcity.
The hypothesis underpinning the project is that bridging the actual irrigation performance gap requires a substantial paradigm shift, from the top-down approach that has driven irrigation modernization in the last decades to a bottom-up interdisciplinary approach making use of emerging low-cost technologies.
