Seminar: Wood at the microscale
Seminar: Wood at the microscale
IGN presents a summer seminar on wood at the microscale, supported by the IGN International Academy.
Our keynote speaker will be Patrick Fonti from WSL, Switzerland, leading expert in quantitative wood anatomy and ecological interpretations. At the same event, Nanna Bjerregaard Pedersen and James Harvie from the Royal Danish Academy will present their research on degradation of wooden artefacts in archeological sites, and conservation thereof. Finally, Andrea Ponzecchi will present results on wood degradation by fungi based on micro-spectroscopy.
Registration is not required, but you can help us order the correct amount of coffee by telling us if you intend to join (are@ign.ku.dk). Please feel free to forward the invitation to others who might be interested.
We hope to see many of you there!
Best regards,
Lisbeth Garbrecht Thygesen and Anders Ræbild
