Operationalizing urban resilience through a framework for adaptive co-management and design: five experiments in urban planning practice and policy
(2016)The emergent discourse on social-ecological resilience can be understood as a response to the rapid pace of change and severe challenges facing urban areas. This paper reports on one strand of research being carried out ... -
The case for mainstreaming nature-based solutions into integrated catchment management in Ireland
(2020)The intensification of European policies, agreements and regulations for climate action, water resources, energy, agriculture and forestry, and biodiversity is pressurising governments to adopt a ... -
Capacity-building and networking events for nature-based solutions and re-naturing in Malta
(2020)Nature-based solutions (NbS) have the potential to build climate resilience and tackle key societal challenges while also providing multiple co-benefits to biodiversity and human well-being. The demand for nature-based ... -
Building capacity for mainstreaming nature-based solutions into environmental policy and landscape planning
(2020)Nature-based solutions (NBS) is a term often used to refer to adequate green infrastructure that provides multiple benefits to society whilst addressing societal challenges. They are defined as actions to protect, sustainably ... -
ReNature: creating the first nature-based solutions compendium in the Mediterranean
(2020)The ReNature nature-based solutions compendium (http://renature-project.eu/compendium) is an open-source collection, which contains data on nature-based solutions in Malta. Initially collecting information only about Malta, ... -
Identifying principles for the design of robust impact evaluation frameworks for nature-based solutions in cities
(2020)Cities all over the world are confronting intertwined environmental, social and economic problems and aim to become resilient to climate change and promote wellbeing for all their citizens. Nature-based solutions have been ... -
Examining the policy needs for implementing nature-based solutions in cities: Findings from city-wide transdisciplinary experiences in Glasgow, UK, Genk, Belgium and Poznań, Poland
(2020)To advance the science and practice of implementing nature-based solutions in cities, it is important to examine the obstacles and provide means to overcome them. This paper presents a conceptual framework of policy needs ... -
Renaturing cities using a regionally-focused biodiversity-led multifunctional benefits approach to urban green infrastructure
(2016)If a "Renaturing of Cities" strategy is to maximise the ecosystem service provision of urban green infrastructure (UGI), then detailed consideration of a habitat services, biodiversity-led approach and multifunctionality ... -
The Distribution of Precious and Energy-Critical Elements at the Scale of a Porphyry Copper Deposit
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)Magmatic-hydrothermal porphyry copper deposits are the world's primary sources of Cu. Moreover, these may contain extractable concentrations of rare metal(loid)s e.g., Se, Te, In, Co, Ge, Ga, Ag, Au and Re. Some of these ... -
Linear habitats across a range of farming intensities contribute differently to dipteran abundance and diversity.
(2020)1. While the value of linear farm habitats for the protection and enhancement of farmland biodiversity in general is known, less is understood about their contribution to Diptera, especially those with different ecological ... -
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 ... -
COVID 19 in the Global South: Impacts and Responses.
(Bristol University/Policy Press in Association with the Development Studies Association of Ireland, 2020)The world has been convulsed by the COVID- 19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. The virus has caused untold misery both directly and indirectly to people around the world and its effect on societies and ... -
Networked Geographies of Digital Contention in Post‐Financial Crisis Ireland
(2019)The language of networks has become a common conceptual framework for describing contemporary, digitally-engaged social movements. In this paper I addresses the subject of digital contention from a geographical perspective, ... -
The petrography and geochemistry of pyrite-hosted orogenic gold deposits in the Grampian Terrane of north-west Ireland and Scotland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)The Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Dalradian Supergroup of north-west Ireland and central Scotland accommodates vein-hosted gold deposits associated with uplift and deformation during the Ordovician Grampian arc-continent collision ... -
Application of airborne radiometric surveys for large-scale geogenic radon potential classification
(2020)Background: Indoor radon represents an important health issue to the general population. Therefore, accurate radon risk maps help public authorities to prioritise areas where mitigation actions should be implemented. As ... -
Geochemical characterisation of the Late Quaternary widespread Japanese tephrostratigraphic markers and correlations to the Lake Suigetsu sedimentary archive (SG06 core)
(2019)Large Magnitude (6–8) Late Quaternary Japanese volcanic eruptions are responsible for widespread ash (tephra) dispersals providing key isochrons suitable for the synchronisation and dating of palaeoclimate archives across ... -
Microanalysis of Cl, Br and I in apatite, scapolite and silicate glass by LA-ICP-MS
(2020)Constraining the abundance and distribution of halogens in geological materials has the potential to provide novel insights into a broad range of earth system processes (e.g. metasomatism, melting, volatile cycling and ore ... -
Predicting the ecosystem-wide impacts of eradication with limited information using a qualitative modelling approach
(2020)Conservation-motivated eradications may cause unexpected perverse effects, and these undesirable consequences can be difficult to predict due to the paucity of information on species interactions. A probabilistic qualitative ... -
Application of micro-computed tomography towards a taxonomic and palaeobiological reassessment of Huxley and Wright's tetrapods from the jarrow assemblage (langsettian, pennsylvanian) co. Killkenny
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)The Jarrow assemblage records a diverse collection of fish and tetrapods from the Leinster Coalfield (Langsettian, Pennsylvanian), south east Ireland. Specimens are preserved in an area where the Jarrow Seam thickens ... -
Unifying the Irish Vertical Datum with the Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)The local gravity potential value on Malin-Head tide gauge station in Ireland is derived from gravimetric and geometric geoid undulations. The geometric geoid undulations are obtained from GNSS and levelling data. In ...
