Dr. Scott Allan Orr is an Associate Professor of Heritage and Environmental Risk at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage within the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy, and Resources at University College London. He leads the Heritage, Environmental Risk and Data Analytics (HERADA) research group, focusing on data-driven approaches to understanding and managing environmental risks for heritage, with particular emphasis on climate change impacts on the historic environment. His educational background includes: Doctor of Philosophy from University of Oxford (2018) Master of Research from University College London (2015) Bachelor of Applied Science from University of Toronto (2014) Dr. Orr's research employs interdisciplinary data-driven methodologies spanning engineering, architecture, archaeology, computational data science, and conservation. His current work addresses climate change risk assessment for heritage, microclimatic effects of urban greening on historic structures, computational modeling of wind-driven rain, salt crystallization risk assessment, non-destructive moisture measurement in masonry, and leveraging social media data for heritage access. His approach recognizes that heritage conservation challenges require technically sound solutions that also consider social, cultural, political, and economic contexts. His recent publications demonstrate increasing sophistication in data analytics applications for heritage conservation, with particular focus on climate change impacts across multiple scales - from material-level salt crystallization processes to global heritage climatology mapping. The research shows strong integration of computational modeling with empirical field data, reflecting a shift toward predictive and preventive conservation approaches that address both immediate material concerns and long-term climate adaptation strategies. Dr. Orr currently serves as Deputy Director of Education for the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy, and Resources, overseeing doctoral programs across five different PhD streams. Previously, he served as Departmental Graduate Tutor (Research) at the Institute for Sustainable Heritage.
