The Jurassic Period
(Elsevier, 2020)Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides the most useful marine biostratigraphy. ... -
An Early Jurassic (Sinemurian Toarcian) stratigraphic framework for the occurrence of Organic Matter Preservation Intervals (OMPIs)
(2021)Lower Jurassic sedimentary successions in the Atlantic margin basins include several organic-rich intervals, some with source rock potential; time-equivalent units are also identified in on- and offshore areas worldwide. ... -
New Constraints on Global Geochemical Cycling During Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (Late Cretaceous) From a 6-Million-year Long Molybdenum-Isotope Record
(2021)Intervals of extreme warmth are predicted to drive a decrease in the oxygen content of the oceans. This prediction has been tested for the acme of short (<1 million years) episodes of significant marine anoxia in the ... -
Refinement of high-spatial resolution U-Pb geochronological methodologies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2021)Zircon [ZrSiO4] is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used in geochronological, isotope and elemental geochemical studies. It can form as an accessory phase in a wide variety of magmatic and metamorphic conditions and ... -
Development of an intertidal foraminifera training set for the North Sea and an assessment of its application for Holocene sea-level reconstructions
(2021)Regional datasets of the vertical distribution of intertidal foraminifera are useful to reconstruct Holocene sea-level changes from fossil foraminifera in estuaries and salt marshes. In this paper, we present a new ... -
Going Viral? The Impacts of COVID-19 on Sino-African Relations
(2021)How are we to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on geopolitics and specifically the relations between China and Africa? Is the pandemic a conjunctural event, which will not have lasting impacts, or does it represent a ... -
Discovering Trinity's Biodiversity: Report from the Biodiversity Audit Pilot Study
(Trinity College Dublin, 2021) -
A geo-thermochronological study offshore west of Ireland: the timing of exhumation and magmatic activity and the nature of the basement on the Irish Atlantic Margin
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2021)In recent years, the use of multiple low-temperature thermochronometers combined with inverse thermal history modelling of multiple samples on vertical profiles has been shown capable of detecting low magnitude exhumation ... -
RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY TRANSITIONS: UK & IRELAND 1995-2015
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2021)A radical departure from existing socio-technical pathways is required across the world’s energy systems if we are to achieve sustainability and low-carbon goals. This transformation is being driven by the ... -
Chemostratigraphic Investigation of Early Carboniferous Tuffs and Limestones from the Irish Midlands Based on Geochemical and Geochronological Fingerprinting
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2021)The timing of mineralisation of the Irish Zn-Pb ore field is currently poorly understood. It can be improved by more accurate stratigraphic correlations of the Carboniferous (Mississippian Subsystem) host rocks (Heckel ... -
Environmental and nutritional sustainability potential of legume-based food production pathways
Delivering sustainable nutrition is a key challenge for the global food sector, including in Europe, where 50% of the population is overweight, 20% obese, and where food production and consumption accounts for 30% of the ... -
Connective Consumptions: Mapping Melbourne's Food Sharing Ecosystem
(2018)Food sharing, understood as the collaborative growing, cooking, eating and distributing of food, as well as the sharing of food related skills, spaces and tools, is experiencing a renaissance in cities. From meal sharing ... -
SHARECITY Briefing Note 4: SHARE IT
(Trinity College Dublin, 2021) -
The social practices of hosting P2P social dining events: Insights for sustainable tourism,
(2020)In many ways, the expansion of commercial for-profit, P2P social dining platforms has mirrored those within mobility and accommodation sectors. However its dynamics and impacts have received less consideration to date, ... -
Food Sharing Initiatives and Food Democracy: Practice and Policy in Three European Cities
(2019)Calls for greater food democracy in Europe have emerged as the limitations of urban food systems dominated by commercial organisations are documented, but little attention has been paid to how policy arrangements affect ... -
Overcoming the social stigma of consuming food waste by dining at the Open Table
(2021)Stigma is often encountered by recipients who receive food donations from charities, while the consumption of wasted food, also traditionally considered to be a stigmatized practice, has recently become part of a popular ...
