"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 bit.ly/3fXqxg2

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…

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. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

@Grove_digger I think that ground is what got us our nickname. Coal mines, chalk pits... same thing really

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 @TowerOfLondon 20 years ago. @Geodiverse @oxfordgeography @vlachou_mogire @HRPConservation

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

@Grove_digger Brilliant, that's old school football. It almost looks like they're playing Aussie Rules.

This is a video of me @oxfordgeography introducing #ReigateStone @TowerOfLondon & discussing the challenges facing @HRPConservation m.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDaKD… MM

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 😳😷
