Medieval Irish chronicles reveal persistent volcanic forcing of severe winter cold events, 431 - 1649 CE
(2013)Explosive volcanism resulting in stratospheric injection of sulfate aerosol is a major driver of regional to global climatic variability on interannual and longer timescales. However, much of our knowledge of the climatic ... -
Channel adjustment to extreme floods in arid central Australia.

An Empirical Approach to Studying Debris Flows - Implications for Planetary Modeling Studies.
(2002)High-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Survey Mars Orbiter Camera show gullies on the walls of impact craters and valley systems on Mars. Depositional aprons associated with these gullies have been interpreted ... -
Visa Policy as Migration Channel, Ireland
(European Commission, 2011-12-01)An Irish visa is a form of pre-entry clearance to travel to a point of entry to the State only. Whether or not the visa carries any legitimate expectation of entering the State has been debated in the courts. Ireland and ... -
Temporary and Circular Migration: Ireland
(ESRI, 2011)The current study is part of an EU-wide study intended to promote understanding of temporary and circular migration by Third Country nationals. Most migration policy development in Ireland has been related to migration ... -
Greening the economy: interrogating sustainability innovations beyond the mainstream
(2011)Current international economic and environmental conditions have led to increasing calls for alternative pathways of development. Globally the language of a green economy is being promoted as a means to develop a `win-win? ... -
Reassessing transfer-function performance in sea-level reconstruction based on benthic salt-marsh foraminifera from the Atlantic Coast of NE North America
(Elsevier, 2011)The need to increase the number and distribution of sea-level records spanning the last few hundred years has led to particular interest in developing high-precision, geologically based sea-level reconstructions that capture ... -
Geography and the matter of waste mobilities
(2012)It is the case that `all societies both throw things away and abandon them? (Gregson et al. 2007a, 697). Such divestment does not mean that those things, commonly called waste, cease to exist rather it often marks the ... -
Public awareness and performance relating to the implementation of a low-carbon economy in China: a case study from Zhengzhou
(2011)This paper aims to examine levels of awareness and performance relating to the promotion of a Low-carbon economy (LCE) among the general public in Zhengzhou, China. The data and information used were derived from 300 ... -
Past, current and future Interactions between pressures, chemicaL status and bioLogical qUality eleMents for lakes IN contrAsting catchmenTs in IrEland (ILLUMINATE)
(2010-10-17)The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland-funded project `Past, current and future interactions between pressures, chemical status and biological quality elements for lakes in contrasting catchments in Ireland? ... -
Human Footprints on the Global Environment: Threats to Sustainability by Eugene A. Rosa, Andreas Diekmann, Thomas Dietz, & Carlo Jaeger (Eds.)
(ProQuest CSA, 2010)The topic of global environmental change (GEC) is of urgent importance today. To address planetary scale problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, or overconsumption it is important to understand the causes and ... -
The Island of Ireland: Drowning the Myth of an Irish Land-Bridge?
(2008)At the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) c. 26 000 calendar years ago, global sea levels were around 120 m lower than present due to the storage of water on land in the form of large, high-latitude ice sheets. This lowering of ... -
Post-glacial relative sea-level observations from Ireland and their role in glacial rebound modelling
(John Wiley, 2008)The British Isles have been the focus of a number of recent modelling studies owing to the existence of a high-quality sea-level dataset for this region and the suitability of these data for constraining shallow earth ... -

Sea Levels: change and variability during warm intervals
(Sage, 2006)The challenges associated with understanding precisely how climate affects sea level have been regular features of Progress Reports since the 1990s (e.g. Woodroffe, 1993; 1994, Woodroffe & Nash, 1995; Long, 2000; 2001; ... -
