Summary
Virtual Field Visits (VFVs) for Vilnius, Lithuania, offer an innovative approach to studying urban flood risks in UNESCO-listed historic centers. These digital tools analyze preconditions and spring runoff flood events, providing a scalable model for other European cities. By leveraging high-resolution data and interactive visualizations, researchers can assess vulnerabilities in the Neris River valley's urban fabric—one of Eastern Europe's best-preserved medieval Old Towns. This study bridges gap between conservation and climate resilience, demonstrating how VFVs enhance risk assessment without physical site disturbance.
