Greening Transport: Final Report
(2020)The vision of the Greening Transport project was to merge the technical evaluation of emissions from transport, and improvements in their calculation, with an assessment of the behavioural changes needed to realise reductions ... -
Highly recyclable, imidazolium derived ionic liquids of low antimicrobial and antifungal toxicity: A new strategy for acid catalysis
(2010)Imidazolium derived ionic liquid catalysts have been developed which are aprotic and of low antimicrobial and antifungal toxicity, yet which can act as efficient Br?nsted acidic catalysts in the presence of protic additives. ... -
Identifying barriers for nature-based solutions in flood risk management: an interdisciplinary overview using the expert community approach
(2022)The major event that hit Europe in summer 2021 reminds society that floods are recurrent and among the costliest and deadliest natural hazards. The long-term flood risk management (FRM) efforts preferring sole technical ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Integrated transportation and land use regression modelling for nitrogen dioxide mitigation
(2023)The transport sector has been identified as one of the main contributors to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. This research develops an enhanced Wind Sector Land Use Regression (WS-LUR) model to estimate NO2 ... -

Local NO2 concentrations and asthma among over-50s in Ireland: A microdata analysis
(2021)Background: Links between air pollution and asthma are less well established for older adults than some younger groups. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are widely used as an indicator of transport-related air pollution, ... -
Mapping Land use on Irish peatlands using medium resolution satellite imagery
(2018)The EU is committed to quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry, including wetlands. Wetlands and peatlands will play a central role in achieving temperature goals agreed ... -
Measuring the potential emission reductions from a shift towards public transport
(2019)The research presented in this paper investigates the behavioural response and subsequent appraisal of a range of policy incentives devised to encourage greater use of sustainable travel options within the Greater Dublin ... -
Modelling the potential benefits increased active travel
(2019)This research examines the behavioural response of commuters within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), Ireland, to a range of policy incentives designed to encourage travellers to make greater use of sustainable travel modes ... -
A national-scale assessment of land use change in peatlands between 1989 and 2020 using Landsat data and Google Earth Engine - a case study of Ireland
(Springer Nature, 2023)Maps accompanying Habib, Wahaj, 'A national-scale assessment of land use change in peatlands between 1989 and 2020 using Landsat data and Google Earth Engine: a case study of Ireland', Springer Nature, 2023 -
Natural reducing agents for electroless nanoparticle deposition: Mild synthesis of metal/carbon nanostructured microspheres
(2013)Composite materials are of interest because they can potentially combine the properties of their respective components in a manner that is useful for specific applications. Here, we report on the use of coffee as a low-cost, ... -
Physical properties and reactivity of pozzolans, and their influence on the properties of lime-pozzolan pastes
(2011)This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime?pozzolan pastes. ... -
Testing DNDC model for simulating soil respiration and assessing the effects of climate change on the CO2 gas flux from Irish agriculture
(2011)Simulation models can be valuable to investigate potential effects of climate change on greenhouse gas emissions from terrestrial ecosystems. DNDC (the DeNitrification-DeComposition model) was tested against observed soil ...
