Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful research tool for evaluating the environmental impact of human activity. The Sustainability Tools in Cultural Heritage (STiCH) project has been a leader in the use of LCA research to analyze conservation-related materials and processes. This panel discussion will feature Dr. Matthew Ecklemann and Sarah Nunberg, two of the principal investigators on the STiCH project, along with Dr. Cassandra Thiel, who uses LCA techniques to analyze various environmental impacts of the medical field. We will discuss some of the basic principles of LCA research, how it has been used in the conservation and medical fields, and its future potential for lowering the environmental impact of our professional activities.
