- The output has its foundations in Young’s long-term research into the structural conservation and preservation of panel paintings e.g. (Young, C. (2014) The painted surface and interface. In: Kos, N., van Duin, P. and Kruse, A. (eds.) The Conservation of Panel Paintings and Related Objects: Research Agenda 2014-2020. NWO, Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. The case study (Knole House, National Trust) and paintings discussed in the present output were researched by Young while supervising a post-graduate student at The Courtauld Institute of Art.
Young customarily puts her post docs as first authors in her published papers, regardless of their percentage input, if they have contributed a reasonable amount. In this output, her own contribution consists of:
• posing its research questions (Does low cycle environmental fatigue lead to cracking in panel paintings? Can we extrapolate environmental data backwards reliably enough to construct the environmental history for the paintings discussed? Can we make the methodology applicable over a wider range of painted wooden cultural heritage?).
• suggesting and empirically demonstrating the method of realising the extrapolation of historic data, i.e. the use of the HadCet data sets- see https://www.impastow.gla.ac.uk/environmental-conditions/). The IMPASTOW website presents further aspects of this work.
• suggesting use of a Fourier Transform method to extract the periodic peaks in data (the modelling was run by the first author Wood, supervised by Charalambides and Balint at Imperial College).
• the context and application of the results.
The results of the output have been shared via publications, presentations, and public engagement events (2017-2020).
