Identifying the determinants of Brazilian migration to and from Ireland: a micro-level cross-country analysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)Brazilian migration since the 1990s has given rise to what is now the largest non-EU immigrant group residing in Ireland (CSO, 2016). However, the determinants of Brazilian migration to Ireland have been considered only ... -
Flow cytometry and fecal indicator bacteria analyses for fingerprinting microbial pollution in karst aquifer systems
(2022)Microbial pollution of aquifers is a persistent water quality problem globally which poses significant risks to public health. Karst aquifer systems are exceptionally vulnerable to pollution from fecal contamination sources ... -
Patterns and drivers of groundwater and stream nitrate concentrations in intensively managed agricultural catchments
(2022)The environmental loss of nitrogen in agricultural landscapes has pervasive consequences, including human health implications, eutrophication, loss of habitat biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. The efficacy of ... -
Investigating the role of management and measurement technique on the temporal and spatial variability of carbon dynamics and nitrous oxide emissions from temperate grasslands
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2022)The Earth’s atmosphere consists primarily of nitrogen (N) in the form of dinitrogen (N2), and oxygen as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) molecules including water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane ... -
Trust in Transboundary Water Negotiations and Cooperation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)Issues of trust are relevant in several domains of society, from digitalisation, multinational companies, medical technology, human resource management, to food safety. However, there remains a dearth of studies that examine ... -
A study of taxonomy of Salicornia L. in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland), 1964)Introduction: The genus Salicornia is a notoriously difficult group. The number and nature of the taxa recognised, especially within the annual section of the genus, has varied considerably according to the differing ... -
Financialisation, regional economic development and the coronavirus crisis: a time for spatial monetary policy?
(2021)This paper argues that ‘spatial monetary policy’ may be needed to achieve more territorially balanced economic development. Central banks have been key in fostering financialised economies while also preventing their ... -
A users guide to radon priority areas: examples from Ireland.
(2022)Exposure to radon over time has significant detrimental effects on human health. Approximately 226,000 annual radon-related deaths have been reported from 66 countries (1). Many countries have a radon action plan, in order ... -
Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems
(2022)Trade in animal-pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low-income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems ... -
Effect of groundwater-surface interactions on coastal areas hosting aquaculture activities
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is crucial for the nutrient budgets of coastal areas and global oceans. However, its role in the function of coastal ecosystems is still poorly characterised. This study aimed to (1) ... -
Constraints on the thermal conditions within the cratonic lithospheric mantle through time
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)The stabilization of Earth s first continents is inescapably linked to the formation of the ancient cratonic lithospheric mantle. The cratonic lithospheric mantle is widely considered to have formed as a residue of extreme ... -
Geochemical and mineralogical characterisation of the Caribou Zn-Pb VMS deposit, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)The Caribou Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Zn-Pb deposit in the Appalachians of Eastern Canada is hosted by Middle Ordovician shale and felsic volcanic rocks and deposited in a back-arc environment. The entire mineralised ... -
Tramps in transition: genetic differentiation between populations of an iconic "supertramp" taxon in the Central Indo-Pacific
(2022)The island monarch ( Monarcha cinerascens) was an original example of the “supertramp strategy ”. This involves well-developed dispersal specialisation, enabling a species to colonise remote islands but leaving it competitively ... -
Developing peatland ecosystem accounts to guide targets for restoration
(2021)The United Nations System of Environmental and Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) is a geospatial approach, whereby existing data on ecosystem stocks and flows are collated to show changes over time. The ... -
SEM-EDX study of bentonite alteration under the influence of cement alkaline solutions.
(2021)Bentonite is a key barrier for the isolation of high-level radioactive waste within Deep Geological Repository. However, bentonite may be altered by contact with cementitious materials and their alkaline pore fluids. This ... -
Contribution of submarine groundwater discharge(SGD) to the marine carbonate biogeochemistry of the Western Irish Coastal Sea
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)The main objective of this study was to investigate the coastal carbonate chemistry in the Irish coastal seas, and specifically to understand the role of Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) in the coastal biogeochemical ... -
The stability of ecosystems under global environmental change
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2022)Through global environmental change, humans are modifying the planet at an unprecedented rate and scale, triggering the ongoing biodiversity and climate crises. Ecological stability and the consistency of nature s contributions ... -
Evaluating the status and prospects of blue carbon in Ireland and the North-East Atlantic
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2022)Since its conception in 2011, the concept of blue carbon has been valuable to focus the field of ecosystem services on carbon sequestration by marine macrophytic communities, which has been historically overlooked. In ... -
Geometric analysis of chondrogenic self-organisation of embryonic limb bud cells in micromass culture.
(Springer Nature, 2022)Spatial and temporal control of chondrogenesis generates precise, species-specific patterns of skeletal structures in the developing vertebrate limb. The pattern-template is laid down when mesenchymal cells at the core ... -
