Recent developments in planetary Aeolian studies and their terrestrial analogs
(2013)This paper summarizes the many advances that have been made in the study of planetary Aeolian processes that have taken place since the first Planetary Dunes Workshop was held in May of 2008, through 2011. Many of the ... -
Silicon Valley in Eastern Slovakia? Neo-liberalism, knowledge economy and post-socialism.
(2013)The essay critically examines the prospect of emulating a Silicon Valley-style regional development in the post-socialist context of East-Central Europe. It underlines the problematic nature of the Silicon Valley concept ... -

Modelling the Development of Rocky Shoreline Profiles along the Northern Coast of Ireland
(2013)A mathematical wave-erosion model is used to simulate postglacial shoreline profiles along the rocky, high energy coast of the north of Ireland. The wave erosion model is driven by a suite of relative sea-level (RSL) curves ... -
Sedimentary Indicators of Relative Sea-Level Change - Low Energy
(Elsevier, 2013)Fine grained sediments associated with low energy conditions have proven to be useful archives of relative sea-level data. Low energy inter-tidal environments, such as saltmarshes and mangroves, are closely linked to the ... -
Aeolian sediment transport pathways and aerodynamics at troughs on Mars
(2004)Interaction between wind regimes and topography can give rise to complex suites of aeolian landforms. This paper considers aeolian sediment associated with troughs on Mars and identifies a wider range of deposit types ... -
Dynamics of unusual debris flows on Martian sand dunes
(2004)Gullies that dissect sand dunes in Russell impact crater often display debris flow-like deposits in their distal reaches. The possible range of both the rheological properties and the flow rates are estimated using ... -
Dynamic river channel suggests a long-lived Noachian crater lake on Mars.
(2005)ecent images of the Noachian-age Holden Northeast Crater show spectacular meandering channels that form a complex 150 meter thick lacustrine river delta deposit confined to the northwest margin of the crater. We ... -
Mars global digital dune database and initial science results
(2007)A new Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD 3 ) constructed using Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) infrared (IR) images provides a comprehensive and quantitative view of the geographic distribution of moderate- ... -
Recent aeolian erosion and deposition in the north polar plateau of Mars.
(2007)Background: Planum Boreum, the north polar plateau of Mars, displays four extensive low-albedo regions covered with widespread se dimentary deposits that are thick enough to partly or completely suppress the signature ... -
Cyclical construction and destruction of flood dominated floodplains in semiarid central Australia
(1994)The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include ... -
Practical Measures for Reducing Irregular Migration: Ireland
(Report prepared for the European Commission Directorate-General Home Affairs and published by the ES, 2012-03-30)This study investigates practical measures for reducing irregular migration in Ireland. Irish policy towards irregular migration is influenced by the State?s geographical position, at the north-western periphery of Europe, ... -
Multiple Disadvantage in Ireland: An Equality Analysis of Census 2006
(The Equality Authority and the ESRI, 2012-03-23)This report draws on the full 2006 Census microdata file to examine the effects of belonging to groups who are disadvantaged according to the nine grounds identified in Equality Legislation (gender, civil status, family ... -

Intra EU Mobility of Third-Country Nationals: Ireland
(Report prepared for the European Commission Directorate-General Home Affairs and published by the ES, 2013-03-21)This study, compiled according to commonly agreed specifications, provides an overview of the key issues and challenges that are apparent in relation to the intra-EU mobility of third-country nationals to and from Ireland. ... -
Medieval Irish chronicles reveal persistent volcanic forcing of severe winter cold events, 431 1649 CE
(2013)Explosive volcanism resulting in stratospheric injection of sulfate aerosol is a major driver of regional to global climatic variability on interannual and longer timescales. However, much of our knowledge of the climatic ... -
An Empirical Approach to Studying Debris Flows - Implications for Planetary Modeling Studies.
(2002)High-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Survey Mars Orbiter Camera show gullies on the walls of impact craters and valley systems on Mars. Depositional aprons associated with these gullies have been interpreted ... -
