Analytical Methodologies for the Environmental Degradation of Assets

The course provides an introduction to the techniques of instrumental chemical analysis and structural characterization of materials of cultural interest, focusing on the study of the effects produced by the environment on such materials and paying particular attention to experimental aspects and data interpretation. Therefore, the aim of the course is to help the student understand what compositional and structural information can be obtained from this type of investigation on original materials and the degradation products derived from them.

Ability to interpret and use analytical information from the findings and the possibility of intervention for conservation purposes.
