Heritage Science is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research covering: Understanding of the manufacturing processes, provenances, and environmental contexts of...
This collection of papers is from the fourth international meeting on scanning macro-X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) on cultural heritage art objects held in Washington DC. This meeting was expanded to include reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS). As in prior meetings, the papers span a wide range of topics, including instrument development such as a design to scan 3-D objects, data analysis workflows including machine learning models to process both XRF and RIS image cubes, and case studies involving one or both spectral imaging modalities.

John K. Delaney
John K. Delaney is senior imaging scientist in the scientific research department of the conservation division of the National Gallery of Art, Washington. His research focuses on the adaptation of remote sensing sensors and processing methods for the study of paintings and works on paper. He received his BS from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute and his PhD from the Rockefeller University, and he completed postdoctoral studies at the University of Arizona and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. -
Kathryn A. Dooley
Kathryn Dooley, research scientist, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, presents several case studies exemplifying the use of reflectance imaging spectroscopy and imaging x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to the study of paintings and works on paper. Dooley spoke at a one-day symposium held at the National Gallery of Art on September 21, 2015, which was supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. -
