Powerful closing #Icon19 keynote by Historic England ‘s @MWiggins_HE on #climateheritage. Conserving the historic environment can help resolve the #ClimateCrisis by engaging communities, improving ecosystems resilience and reducing the carbon budget 💪🌍


Great opening #MiM2019 keynote The Engine Shed by Christine Bläuer sharing her experience on different sources of damaging salts in historic buildings, including (of course) the Alpine #Ibex 🐐+🏠=🏚


Fascinating #MIM2019 presentation on the Temple Church doorway presented by David Odgers and Alex Holton The Engine Shed . Past conservation attempts included a mixture of salt and acid 😳😷

How can science help improve the resilience of heritage? Find out more about how Martin Michette is working to help conserve Medieval stonework at the Tower of London in our last blogpost for #BSW2020 at oxrbl.com/blog/

Our paper on past #ReigateStone #conservation is now #openaccess here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… It includes tests on a bespoke test wall built The Tower of London 20 years ago. Heather Viles SoGE, University of Oxford Constantina Vlachou HRP_Conservators

Limited samples can be a challenge to performing science on #CulturalHeritage sites. To overcome this, HRP_Conservators Heather Viles & I merge historical analysis with materials testing in this article on #ReigateStone, medieval #London's lost masonry. link.springer.com/article/10.118…




At the The Tower of London, HRP_Conservators Heather Viles and I used #NDT to monitor different mortars used in #conservation of #ReigateStone. Soft, new #LimeMortar is best, but old mortar is not always bad, so great care is needed when deciding what to remove. mdpi.com/2075-163X/11/4…


"Important heritage sites across the country are increasingly vulnerable to rapid environmental change. We need to develop sustainable conservation strategies which can respond to these changes." Martin Michette on his new partnership with English Heritage bit.ly/3fXqxg2
