"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." @MartinMichette on his new partnership with @EnglishHeritage

At the @TowerOfLondon, @HRPConservation @Geodiverse 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/11/4/345

Limited samples can be a challenge to performing science on #CulturalHeritage sites. To overcome this, @HRPConservation @Geodiverse & I merge historical analysis with materials testing in this article on #ReigateStone, medieval #London's lost masonry.

Fascinating #MIM2019 presentation on the @TempleChurchLDN doorway presented by David Odgers and Alex Holton @HESEngineShed . Past conservation attempts included a mixture of salt and acid 😳😷
Great opening #MiM2019 keynote @HESEngineShed by Christine Bläuer sharing her experience on different sources of damaging salts in historic buildings, including (of course) the Alpine #Ibex 🐐+🏠=🏚
Powerful closing #Icon19 keynote by @HistoricEngland ‘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 💪🌍
