Origin and evolution of the Mesoarchean Aouéouat greenstone belt and associated gold mineralisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2016)This Aouéouat greenstone belt is situated in the Tasiast-Tijirit Terrane of the Reguibat Shield, part of the West African Craton. Petrographic, geochronological, geochemical and isotopic studies of the Aouéouat greenstone ... -
Advances in the detection of particulate matter and aerosols in peat: Exploring Icelandic volcanic activity and multi-source deposition in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2024)This Ph.D. research project develops new techniques for the detection of particulate matter and aerosols in peat, a relatively underexplored atmospheric archive and carries out novel investigations of atmospheric deposition ... -
The zircon record of the Sudbury impact crater and its implications for the early Earth
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2016)In the absence of widespread rocks older than 4.0 Ga, the earliest terrestrial material and the only direct evidence for the nature of the Earth's very early crust are tiny zircon crystals. The chemical compositions of ... -
Assessment of natural radioactivity and radon release potential of Silurian black shales
(2023)Many countries are developing a radon action plan to provide decision-makers with a reliable tool for reducing the harmful effects of radon exposure in dwellings and among the general public and, accordingly, to implement ... -
Applying machine learning to model radon using topsoil geochemistry
(2023)Radon is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen, being the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Understanding the prominent sources of radon helps to mitigate against the adverse effects of radon exposure. Considering ...
