2012 Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage Research GRC; Mount Snow Resort, VT; July 29 to August 3, 2012

美国国家科学基金会材料研究和化学部门以及多学科活动办公室将提供资金支持美国学生和美国教师参加2012年戈登会议，题为“文化遗产研究的科学方法：文化遗产的无损成像和微观分析”，该会议将于2012年7月29日至8月3日在佛蒙特雪山度假胜地举行。来自美国、欧洲、加拿大、墨西哥、以色列、中国和日本的博物馆、艺术保护研究中心、大学和国家实验室的38位主要研究人员将作为讨论领导和演讲嘉宾参加会议。会议将促进那些推动方法和仪器边界的人与文化遗产研究人员之间的对话。会议将涵盖九个主题：(1)复杂材料：新旧世界的案例研究；(2)纳米级结构；(3)硬x射线：从大型设施到桌面光源；(4)微观尺度结构I：光谱学的作用；(5)宏观尺度结构；(6)微观尺度结构II：从生物有机遗产到现代艺术；(7)激光；从分子到宏观结构，(8)成像和深度剖面，(9)考古非技术摘要的跨学科研究美国国家科学基金会材料研究和化学分部以及多学科活动办公室将提供资金支持美国学生和美国教师参加2012年戈登会议，题为“文化遗产研究的科学方法：这次会议将促进那些在方法和仪器方面突破界限的人与文化遗产研究人员之间的对话。会议将涵盖九个主题：(1)复杂材料：新旧世界的案例研究；(2)纳米级结构；(3)硬x射线：从大型设施到桌面光源；(4)微观尺度结构I：光谱学的作用；(5)宏观尺度结构；(6)微观尺度结构II：从生物有机遗产到现代艺术；(7)激光；从分子到宏观结构；(8)成像与深度剖面；(9)考古学的跨学科研究

Technical SummaryThe National Science Foundation Divisions of Materials Research and Chemistry along with the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities will provide funds to support the participation of US students and US faculty at 2012 Gordon Conference entitled "Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage Research: Non-Destructive Imaging and Micro-Analysis in Cultural Heritage" that will take place at Mount Snow Resort, VT, from July 29 to August 3, 2012. Thirty-eight leading researchers from museums, art conservation research centers, universities, and national laboratories, from the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Israel, China and Japan will be on the program of the conference as discussion leaders and speakers. The conference will foster dialogue between those pushing the boundaries on methods and instrumentation and researchers in cultural heritage.Nine session topics will be covered: (1) Complex materials: case studies from the Old and the New World, (2) Structures at the Nanoscale, (3)Hard X-Rays: from Large Scale Facilities to Tabletop Sources, (4) Structures at the Microscale I: The Role of Spectroscopy, (5) Structures at the Macroscale, (6) Structures at the Microscale II: From Bio-Organic Heritage to Modern Art, (7) Lasers: from Molecules to Macrostructure, (8) Imaging and Depth Profiling, and (9) Interdisciplinary Investigations in ArchaeologyNon-Technical SummaryThe National Science Foundation Divisions of Materials Research and Chemistry along with the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities will provide funds to support the participation of US students and US faculty at 2012 Gordon Conference entitled "Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage Research: Non-Destructive Imaging and Micro-Analysis in Cultural Heritage" The conference will foster dialogue between those pushing the boundaries on methods and instrumentation and researchers in cultural heritage.Nine session topics will be covered: (1) Complex materials: case studies from the Old and the New World, (2) Structures at the Nanoscale, (3)Hard X-Rays: from Large Scale Facilities to Tabletop Sources, (4) Structures at the Microscale I: The Role of Spectroscopy, (5) Structures at the Macroscale, (6) Structures at the Microscale II: From Bio-Organic Heritage to Modern Art, (7) Lasers: from Molecules to Macrostructure, (8) Imaging and Depth Profiling, and (9) Interdisciplinary Investigations in Archaeology
