Mortar damage to heritage stone (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., Cunliffe, E., & Brassey, C. (2022, May). Mortar damage to heritage stone. Presented at EGU 2022, Vienna

Stone built heritage in conflict areas is increasingly at risk of accelerated deterioration, as explosive and ballistic damage not only create damage to the surface, but also inherently change the mineral fabric of the stone to deep within the struct...

Implications of vegetation growth and rock weathering rinds associated with periglacial sorted circles and stone-/turf-banked lobes on Mafadi/Njesuthi summits, high Drakensberg, southern Africa (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Grab, S., Mol, L., Knight, J., Botha, T., Woodborne, S., & Carbutt, C. (2018, April). Implications of vegetation growth and rock weathering rinds associated with periglacial sorted circles and stone-/turf-banked lobes on Mafadi/Njesuthi summits, high Drakensberg, southern Africa. Poster presented at European Geosciences Union General Assembly, Vienna, Austria

Large sorted circles (>30 cm in diameter and consisting of pebble centres and cobble to boulder borders, commonly vertically aligned) and stone banked lobes are thought to have formed during colder Neoglacial periods during the Holocene, but their ag...

Geomorphology, conflict and heritage; the new frontier? (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L. (2016, December). Geomorphology, conflict and heritage; the new frontier?. Presented at Invited lecture hosted by Glasgow University, Glasgow, Scotland

Projectile damage to building stone is a widespread phenomenon; sites damaged during World War I still see daily use while contemporary reports show damage to buildings in Palmyra and Mosul. Despite an ever-growing body of weathering research documen... Read More about Geomorphology, conflict and heritage; the new frontier?.

Cultural heritage documentation and conservation: Three-dimensional (3D) and geographical information system (GIS) techniques for shrapnel damage of facade School of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Lopez-Gonzalez, L., Gomez-Heras, M., & Mol, L. (2016, September). Cultural heritage documentation and conservation: Three-dimensional (3D) and geographical information system (GIS) techniques for shrapnel damage of facade School of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid. Poster presented at 5th International Conference YOCOCU 2016, Madrid, Spain

Projectile damage to buildings is a wide spread, yet underrepresented in weathering and conservation research as mechanism of deterioration. Affected sites range from buildings damaged in past conflicts, such as the First World War, to modern day thr...

Sediment production in warming Arctic environments; a potential problem? (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., Bagshaw, E., Cartwright, J., Channon, M., & Selwood, N. (2016, September). Sediment production in warming Arctic environments; a potential problem?. Paper presented at British Society for Geomorphology Annual General Meeting, Plymouth

The Arctic is rapidly warming up; this statement has been confirmed in an ever growing body of scientific literature. This shift from a glaciated environment to a paraglacial environment bring with it challenges to ecosystems as well as human habitat...

Microclimatic weathering in 3D; an Arctic case study (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., & Clarke, L. (2016, September). Microclimatic weathering in 3D; an Arctic case study. Poster presented at British Society for Geomorphology Annual General Meeting, Plymouth

This study investigates the influence of microclimate on weathering behaviour of sedimentary stone in an Arctic environment. In situ weathering rates can be difficult to quantify because of inherited weathering and the complexity of uncontrolled cond... Read More about Microclimatic weathering in 3D; an Arctic case study.

Using 3D imaging to map bullet impacts in sandstone (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., Gomez-Heras, M., Brassey, C., Green, O., & Blenkinsop, T. (2016, June). Using 3D imaging to map bullet impacts in sandstone. Poster presented at SEAHA 2nd Annual Conference, Oxford, England

Bullet impacts on heritage surfaces are increasingly a concern for conservation scientists; the escalating conflicts in the Middle East are often in the news for the deliberate targeting of heritage sites. The full destruction of sites, using large-s... Read More about Using 3D imaging to map bullet impacts in sandstone.

Simulating physical weathering of basalt on Earth and Mars (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Viles, H., Ehlmann, B., Cebula, T., Wilson, C., Mol, L., & Bourke, M. (2007, August). Simulating physical weathering of basalt on Earth and Mars. Paper presented at Goldschmidt Conference, Cologne, Germany

Background Despite its importance as a surficial rock type on Earth and other planets, few studies have been made of the response of basalt to physical weathering. Heating and cooling, with or without salts and moisture, may have severe impacts on b... Read More about Simulating physical weathering of basalt on Earth and Mars.

Weathering at the igneous - sedimentary interface; a case study from South Africa
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., Boardman, J., Buchs, D., & Lavis, S. Weathering at the igneous - sedimentary interface; a case study from South Africa. Poster presented at British Society for Geomorphology Annual General Meeting, 05-07 September 2016

This presentation reports on the preliminary findings of a study into clast weathering in the Karoo, South Africa. In January 2010 a dry infilled dam was partially covered by a small alluvial fan which transported a large number of dolerite, mudstone...

Effect of flood conditions on the deterioration of porous clay-based brick
Presentation / Conference
Mol, L., & Tomor, A. Effect of flood conditions on the deterioration of porous clay-based brick. Poster presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2018

Man-made materials represent an increasingly large proportion of geomaterials that are used to build up a rapidly expanding urbanised landscape. The deterioration of such materials is of increasing concern, in particular in light of the projected inc... Read More about Effect of flood conditions on the deterioration of porous clay-based brick.
