Pablo Barreiro’s doctoral thesis has caught the attention of the newspaper Faro de Vigo. The article, written by Sandra Penelas, highlights the significant impact of his work on the conservation of rock art.
In his thesis, recently defended at the Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías, Energía y Procesos Industriales (CINTECX), Pablo Barreiro explored the use of laser techniques for the cleaning and conservation of rock engravings at sites in the Côa Valley (Portugal) and Siega Verde (Spain). His innovative approach, using neodymium and erbium lasers to treat biological patinas on granite and schist, offers new possibilities in the conservation of cultural heritage.
Pablo’s research, led by professors Iago Pozo and Pío González, demonstrates how advanced technologies can complement traditional methods and improve the preservation of valuable archaeological sites. Faro de Vigo’s coverage by Sandra Penelas highlights the relevance of this work and the crucial role of UVigo in leading innovative research projects.
We are delighted to see that Pablo’s thesis continues to generate interest and recognition!
