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 ... -
Dietary Conservatism: The Influences and Determinants of Alternative Foraging Strategies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2023)Dietary conservatism – the existence of alternative foraging strategies in response to novel foods – continues to be a little-known and understudied topic of animal behaviour. In every vertebrate population tested so far, ... -
The basement geology of the Porcupine High - a key transatlantic link between the Caledonides and Appalachians
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2023)In order to better reconstruct the basement geology of the western Irish offshore and the North Atlantic, constraining the geologic evolution of the Porcupine High region is key. Located 200 km west of Ireland, the Porcupine ... -
Urban vacancy in Ireland: Addressing recent responses and opportunities
(Trinity College Dublin & Dublin City Council, 2023)This report outlines recent political and policy responses to urban vacancy in Ireland, the challenges that these policy objectives face, and lessons that can be drawn from the experience of those implemented them. It is ... -
Understanding variation in ecology and physiology of marine migratory species.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2023)As the world faces the threats of multiple compounded and worsening crises, scientists are racing to gather the knowledge necessary to safeguard entire ecosystems and species. Technological advances are continuously ... -
The power of platforms—precarity and place
(2023)The expanding scale and scope of digital platforms in our lives seem undeniable as they restructure commerce, communication, work, finance, popular culture, and private and public services. However, despite their ubiquity ... -
What role for citizens? Evolving engagement in quadruple helix smart district initiatives
(2023)Globally, smart city initiatives are becoming increasingly ubiquitous elements of complex, sociotechnical urban systems. While there is general agreement that cities cannot be smart without citizen involvement, the ... -
Application of airborne geophysical survey data in a logistic regression model to improve the predictive power of geogenic radon maps. A case study in Castleisland, county Kerry, Ireland
(2023)In this study, a novel methodology was investigated to improve the spatial resolution and predictive power of geogenic radon maps. The data inputs comprise indoor radon measurements and seven geogenic factors including ... -
Characterising pesticide residues in floral resources for bees
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)Pesticide use in agriculture is one of the main factors driving pollinator declines. Bees are highly important pollinators and may be at risk from exposure to pesticide compounds while foraging for pollen and nectar. In ... -
Finding justice in wild, novel ecosystems: a review through a multispecies lens
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
An integrated process for planning, delivery, and stewardship of urban nature-based solutions: the Connecting Nature Framework
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
Determining the impact of magma water contents on porphyry Cu fertility: constraints from hydrous and nominally anhydrous mineral analysis
(2023)Most large-scale porphyry-style mineralization is genetically associated with oxidized, sulfur-rich, and hydrous magmas, the sources of which were enriched in mantle-derived or juvenile crust−derived materials. Geochemical ... -
Editorial: Multidisciplinary Investigations for Determining the Structure and Dynamics of Active Volcanic Systems
(2022)Multidisciplinary investigations are widely considered by the scientific community to be the key strategy for understanding the interplay between magmatic processes and volcanic structures as a primary task for volcanological ... -
Development of Hybrid Models to Estimate Gross Primary Productivity at a Near-Natural Peatland Using Sentinel 2 Data and a Light Use Efficiency Model
(2023)Peatlands store up to 2320 Mt of carbon (C) on only ~20% of the land area in Ireland; however, approximately 90% of this area has been drained and is emitting up to 10 Mt C per year. Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a ... -
Temperature and the ecophysiology of marine ectotherms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2023)Temperature influences the physiology, behaviour, and distribution of organisms and the field of thermal ecology has been stimulated in recent decades by the need for a greater understanding of how climate change will ... -
Cobalt of the Tyrone Igneous Complex: geochemistry of mafic hosted sulphides and remobilisation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2023)Primary sulphide mineralisation in mafic rocks and secondary remobilised sulphides contain significant cobalt and relate to early Palaeozoic ocean closure and arc-continent collision in the Irish Caledonian terrane. This ... -
The Akcal Epithermal Deposit: An Example of Low-Sulfidation Gold Mineralization in Western Turkey
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2023)The Akcal epithermal Au-Ag deposit is located on the Biga Peninsula, southwestern Turkey and is estimated to contain 32.5 million tonnes of mineralization at an average grade of 1.03 g/t Au, equivalent to 33.5 tonnes of ... -
The carboniferous geology of the Carrick-on-Suir syncline, Southern Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 1980)A geological map of the Carrick-on-Suir Syncline is presented at a scale of 1:31680 (2 inches to one mile). The thirteen mapping units proposed are discussed in detail; all but the lowermost are Carboniferous in age. The ... -
Interrogating the Poverty Impact of Gold Mining at the Community Level in Ghana.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2023)Many studies show a negative correlation at the national level between natural resource wealth and poverty reduction ? the so-called 'resource curse'. However, this may not hold at the local level. For example, the incidence ... -
From "debt diplomacy" to donorship? China's changing role in global development
