Caring for Culture
Across the historic counties and coastlines of South West England, a quiet but essential effort is underway to safeguard some of the UK’s most culturally and scientifically significant artefacts. From military banners to textile treasures and ancient fossils, these collections represent generations of human and natural history—and keeping them preserved in the face of time and climate is a challenge that’s largely invisible to the public eye.

Safeguarding Sea Turtles in a Warming World
In the pristine island chain of Vava‘u, in the Kingdom of Tonga, the beaches are more than just beautiful - they are critical nesting grounds for some of the ocean’s most ancient and endangered species: sea turtles. But beneath the surface of this idyllic setting, the sands are heating up, and with them, the future of turtle populations is becoming increasingly uncertain.

Exploring Ancient Climates in the Arctic
In one of the most remote and inhospitable regions of the world, a small research team recently returned to the icy cliffs of C.H. Ostenfeld Nunatak in Northeast Greenland to unlock the secrets of Earth’s ancient climate. The expedition, led by Peter Frykman, Senior Researcher at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), aimed to revisit a cave system he discovered decades earlier - and to collect valuable climate data frozen in time.

Bright Lights. BIG City… Tinytag.
In the heart of Riyadh, a city unlike any other is rising from the desert — a brand new smart metropolis built with cutting-edge infrastructure, sustainability targets, and long-term operational planning in mind. Among the consultants shaping this ambitious project is Douglas Noon, a Facilities Management Consultant working with CNS Ltd, whose work spans continents and sectors, from hospitals in the UK to national museums and energy plants across the Middle East. And accompanying him on every project? A set of dependable Tinytag data loggers — compact, rugged devices that have quietly become one of his most trusted tools.

Tinytag data loggers aid viticulture investigation into the growth of Riesling grapes
The quality of grapes used in wine production is influenced by a number of environmental factors. The topography of the land on which vines are cultivated, soil quality, levels of solar radiation, rainfall, wind and temperature and humidity all contribute to the taste of the grape and the quality of the final product: the wine.

Tinytag data loggers monitor wastewater samples for South West Water | Tinytag Case Study
About 95% of the water that South West Water supplies to Devon, Cornwall and small areas of Dorset and Somerset comes back to them for treatment and disposal (South West Water: Code of Practice on our Wastewater Service). Once wastewater has been treated, it can be released back into the environment, providing it has been treated to safe and acceptable levels.

Tinytag data loggers monitor temperature and humidity levels for Berkshire Record Office
It is critical for archive environments to maintain adequate environmental levels in areas where historical records are held. An unsuitable environment, including inappropriate temperature and humidity levels, can adversely impact the condition of precious materials, causing issues such as mould growth and accelerating the rate of material deterioration.

Long-term monitoring for museum preservation | Tinytag monitoring solutions
Rushden Transport Museum in Northamptonshire is uniquely situated in the Victorian-era Rushden Station. Housing a large collection of items relating to the history of road and rail transport, as well as the social history of the local area, the old station building and the Museum’s storage – a nearby port-a-cabin – are enigmatic surroundings for such collections – but are not ideal environments for displaying and storing sensitive museum collections.

Tinytag data logger used for Post-Occupancy Evaluation in West of Ireland Passive House
Passive House is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in buildings. Buildings designed in accordance with Passive House standards typically have an ultra-low rate of energy usage, making them more environmentally-friendly than buildings that rely on active heating and cooling. For a new, domestic ‘Passive House’ in County Mayo, West of Ireland, temperature and relative humidity monitoring with a Tinytag data logger was crucial to understanding how the building performed in real, lived-in conditions.
