RESEARCH D2: Measuring threat: Studying the reasons for risk and devising responses<br />

Projects developing innovative approaches to physical threats to components of our historic<br />

environment. Projects must address strategically identified needs, and have practical outcomes.<br />

Examples might include:<br />

• Moisture movement, and effects of damp<br />

• Ventilation and air movement in small building cavities<br />

• Countering impact of fauna flora or fungi on walls/gardens/structures<br />

• Impacts of heat and cold<br />

• Conservation of modern building materials (eg concrete)<br />

• Corrosion of metals<br />

Essential development of armoury of research for protecting historic materials, sites and<br />

structures<br />

2.2 b Specific-Applied Technological<br />

Allied to 14171.210 – scientific and technological development, but with quite specific<br />

problem-oriented approach. Also very similar to 33143.110, technical conservation research,<br />

but the latter is aimed specifically at delivering practical guidance for owners to maintain<br />

properties, and thus will arise out of experimental innovation covered here<br />

lead roofing is now far better understood<br />

following a 10-year research project, the<br />

results of which have provided a solution<br />

giving instant protection<br />

b) Innovation and imagination are<br />

required for archiving and dissemination of<br />

increasingly large digital datasets, such as this<br />

3-D laser scan of Grimes Graves Neolithic<br />

flint mine, Norfolk<br />

c) Experimental research into the formation<br />

and behaviour of archaeological sites, such<br />

as this Roman glass kiln, provides vital<br />

interpretative and management information<br />
