One of my goals has been to visit the sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. There were less than 300 sites on the list when this goal originated, but the number of sites included has mushroomed in recent years. More interest lies with the first sites inscribed by individual countries.
I also like to travel to somewhat remote destinations as you can see from a few of my travel logs.
Here are some interesting links related to maps and travelling found at other sites. I also enjoy geocaching.
Until his death on July 30, 2001, I worked with Dr. Glen R. Cass at the California Institute of Technology. As a senior scientist, I specialize in the study of effects of atmospheric pollution on cultural properties. My work includes studies of airborne pollutants in national parks, museums and archaeological sites around the world.
Recent work includes the Beijing Blue Skies air monitoring project that helped bring the 2008 Olympics to Beijing. We then moved south to sample in the Pearl River Delta region in southern China and Hong Kong.
Other recent work was the air pollutant monitoring at the Asinou Church in Cyprus, and the Global Ozone Passive Monitoring Project.
Here are some photos of rooftop sampling at Caltech.
Past research projects include a study at the Wieliczka Salt Mine, located in southern Poland as well as an investigation of the soiling inside the Wawel Castle and several museums located in the historic central district of Krakow.
You can also find out about my work in the Buddhist cave temples in Yungang, China and other projects in my publication's list.
I'm also including some links to conservation and museum related sites.
My husband John has a home page of his own, plus his hotpoker page.
Our dog Coho hasn't learned to type yet. We also had a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Here is part of my family tree.
After a year of renting we finally have our own house in New York.
You can see our house in California from here. Here are a couple of aerial views:
Our favorite garden tools: Black and Decker.
Canberra was our home away from home in 1994-95.
We were resident associates in Blacker House for six years (1984-1990). You can find it safely nestled in the SW corner of the Caltech campus.
As an undergrad, I lived in Senior House
at MIT.
