Geophysical exploration for offshore evidence of relict shorelines on the northern coast of Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2014)The current generation of postglacial Relative Sea Level (RSL) change simulations in formerly glaciated margins display significant deviations from field evidence. This is particularly true in Ireland where the RSL history ... -
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
(2019)Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on ... -
