Continuous magma mixing and cumulate separation in the High Tatra Mountains open system granitoid intrusion, Western Carpathians (Poland/Slovakia): a textural and geochemical study
(2019)In this study the formation of the polygenetic High Tatra granitoid magma is discussed. Felsic and mafic magma mixing and mingling processes occurred in all magma batches composing the pluton, but were developed to different ... -
Rapid radon potential classification using soil-gas radon measurements in the Cooley Peninsula, County Louth, Ireland
(2019)A rapid method for local-scale radon risk assessment using in situ radon soil-gas measurements and a national-scale soil permeability data set have been evaluated. We test and validate our approach in a case study on the ... -
A U-Pb age for the Late Caledonian Sperrin Mountains minor intrusions suite in the north of Ireland: timing of slab break-off in the Grampian terrane and the significance of deep-seated, crustal lineaments
(2013)An intrusion of trachy-andesite, representative of a newly discovered suite of high-K–Ba–Sr, calc-alkaline minor intrusions (termed herein the Sperrin Mountains suite), hosted within the Grampian terrane in the north of ... -
Assessing soil respiration in the soil profile. A study case of gradient-based CO2 efflux and subsurface production rates using soil diffusion chambers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2010)The impact of global warming on soil respiration is strongly related to the characteristics of deep-soil carbon and may differ with soil depth. Environmental parameters can affect the rates of soil CO2 respiration not only ... -
Seismic structure and anisotrophy in southern Africa's lithosphere : constraints from broad-band surface-wave dispersion
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2013)Southern Africa contains some of the oldest crust on Earth, with the Archean Kaapvaal Craton bordered to the North by the Archean-Paleoproterozoic Limpopo belt. To understand the mechanisms of deformation of the Archean ... -
Government or governance of urban planning? : Issues and evidence from Dublin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2009)The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the urban environment, more specifically its planning and governing processes through the empirical investigation of the notion of governance. The first ... -
Loves me, loves me not: The Museum of Broken Relationships scene analysis
(2014)The Balkan region is known for its historical climate of turbulent social relations; thus, public spaces that consecrate shared experiences of grief and loss come as no surprise. One such space, however, has experienced ... -
Oxidative mafic rock weathering through geological time
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2015)Oxidative chemical weathering requires the presence of free oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. Reconstructing the terrestrial oxidation history in the ancient rock record has helped to detect the intrinsic links between ... -
Radon Potential as a diagnostic tool for indoor radon hazard mapping
(2019)At over 56% of the annual effective dose, radon is the primary source of ionizing radiation exposure received by the Irish population. Although the average indoor radon concentration in Ireland has been reduced since ... -
Late Quaternary sea-level change and evolution of Belfast Lough, Northern Ireland: new offshore evidence and implications for sea-level reconstruction
(2019)The interplay of eustatic and isostatic factors causes complex relative sea‐level (RSL) histories, particularly in paraglacial settings. In this context the past record of RSL is important in understanding ice‐sheet history, ... -
Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests
(2018)Identifying and explaining regional differences in tropical forest dynamics, structure, diversity, and composition are critical for anticipating region-specific responses to global environmental change. Floristic classifications ... -
Petrology and dating of the Permian lamprophyres from the Malá Fatra Mts. (Western Carpathians, Slovakia)
(2018)Calc-alkaline lamprophyres are known from several localities in the Malá Fatra Mountains. They form dykes (0.5-3 m) of varying degree of alteration that have intruded the surrounding granitoid rocks which are often ... -
An Investigation of The Effect of Low Impact Shock Processes on Breakdown of Sandstone at Meteor Crater
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2019)Impact cratering is one of the most common geologic processes shaping all the terrestrial planetary bodies and moons in our solar system. The widespread presence of craters on terrestrial planets and moon in the inner solar ... -
[Re]Valuing Surplus: Transitions, technologies and tensions in redistributing prepared food in San Francisco
(2018)Attention to value, exchange and circulation has long been a central feature of trade flow analyses. More recently, scholars have sought to extend these frames to examine the ongoing movements of end-of-life goods; essentially ... -
Transitioning without confrontation? Shared food growing niches and sustainable food transitions in Singapore
(2018)Following a series of global food crises and an increasing dependence on food imports, the Singaporean government has begun to support local food production as a means to improve the sustainability of its food regime. This ... -
Eutrophication weakens stabilizing effects of diversity in natural grasslands
(2014)Studies of experimental grassland communities have demonstrated that plant diversity can stabilize productivity through species asynchrony, in which decreases in the biomass of some species are compensated for by increases ... -
The Effects of Culling on the Badger (Meles meles) Population in Ireland.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2019)The European badger (Meles meles) has also been identified as the main wildlife reservoir for bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Consequently, badgers are culled nationwide as part of the bTB eradiation scheme. The control program ... -
The Role of Contemporary CO2 Sublimation as a Geomorphic Agent on Mars
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2019)The Martian surface is geomorphologically active, with a variety of mass?wasting, erosional and depositional features that form and change in the current climate. Many of these features have analogues on Earth (e.g. ... -
Development and optimisation of a multi-residue method for the determination of 40 anthelmintic drugs in environmental water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) with LC-MS/MS detection
(MDPI, 2019-05-22)A comprehensive multiresidue method was developed and validated for the determination of 40 anthelmintic compounds, including 13 transformation products, in surface and groundwater samples at sub nanogram per litre (ng ...
