Congratulations to SEAHA student Yun Liu @CollModel based @UCL_ISH who has passed her viva without corrections! Her research explored data modelling for heritage collections #heritagescience
We are investigating the wavelength sensitivity of the photodegradation of historical iron gall ink on paper. Blue light has been found to have 10X stronger effect than red light on the discolouration of iron gall ink! YL @CollModel@UCL_ISH
Looking forward to discussing about environmental modelling with MRes M2 students tomorrow! We will cover the tools including eClimate Notebook, Physics of Monument, exDSS, CCI light damage calculator, HERIe and others. YL @CollModel@UCL_ISH
Do you know that the colour change of iron gall ink over time follows a logarithmic relationship? In this case, the use of lux hour as a management criterion may need to be reconsidered. YL @CollModel@UCL_ISH
We are using hyper spectral imaging to investigate the colour change of historical iron gall ink on paper. It is amazing to see that the change of diffuse reflectance of ink mainly takes place beyond 600 nm in the NIR range! YL @CollModel@UCL_ISH
Anoxic or oxic, that is the question! @UCL_ISH Heritage Science Lab, we are carrying out factorial experiments to gain insights into the environmental impact on the photodegradation behaviour of iron gall ink on paper. Stay tuned for the fresh results! YL @CollModel
