abstract = "Preservation of the Nasca geoglyphs at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Peru is urgent as natural and human impact accelerates. More frequent weather extremes such as flash-floods threaten Nasca geoglyphs. We demonstrate that runoff models based on (sub-)meter scale, LiDAR-derived digital elevation data can highlight AI-detected geoglyphs that are in danger of erosion. We recommend measures of mitigation to protect the famous {"}lizard{"}, {"}tree{"}, and {"}hand{"}geoglyphs located close by, or even cut by the Pan-American Highway.",
