Last March 10th was the first edition of the Heritage Innovation Talks (HI TALKS) in Évora (Portugal), organized by the Hercules Lab of the University of Evora. The goal of the HI TALKS is to present and discuss emerging issues in the framework of the sciences of Cultural Heritage, with the participation of key researchers […] The prestigious international journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (ISSN: 1540-9295), published by the Ecological Society of America publishes in the section Dispatches of last February issue a review (Volcanic caves contain mineral-munching microbes) on the paper recently published in Frontiers in Microbiology by a group of researchers of different countries, among them […] Several monuments from central and south Europe show an intriguing rosy discolouration phenomenon on unknown origin. In order to have a complete vision of this biodeterioration process the microbial communities of three Austrian historical buildings with this problem were investigated by means of a combination of culture-dependent and –independent techniques and microscopy. The bacterial communities […] Dr. Ana Miller, postdoc Marie Curie researcher at “Environmental Microbiology and Cultural Heritage” research group will teach next 17th of June the conference “Secondary mineral deposits and associated microbe-mineral interactions in subsurface rock environments”. The International Karstological School “Classical Karst” is being organized since 1993, and constitutes a major appointment for the studies on the […] |
