1. Based on your findings, how do climate adaptation strategies differ between northern and southern Europe?
2. How do you define an "accepted range" for indoor temperature and relative humidity in heritage buildings, and is it the same across climates or tailored to each site?
3. What advice would you give us students interested in combining climate science with cultural heritage conservation?

Hello Nayelhi,
1.I would say that for northern Europe one of the biggest treathens is high humidity, and in south Europe droughtness periods, so basically each portion faceopposite phenomens
2. great question, actually for deifining accepted range we need to discuss with conservators what are they considering as "damage", e.g. some small deformation can be toletared as long as it does not compromise the whole structure of a wooden sculpture
3. Go for it! in the next years a lot of research work in this field will be needed, get in contact with conservation scientist, there are a few labds around the world that work with this subjects.
