An investigation of anticoccidial veterinary drugs as emerging organic contaminants in groundwater
(Elsevier, 2020)Intensification of the food production system to meet increased global demand for food has led to veterinary pharmaceuticals becoming a critical component in animal husbandry. Anticoccidials are a group of veterinary ... -
An investigation of natural and anthropogenic factors influencing species richness and distribution in woodland & hedgerow habitats of north county Dublin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2011)In Ireland, hedgerows are estimated to cover an area roughly 2-3 times that of deciduous woodland on an island-wide basis (Webb 1985); however, to date, the processes involved in the formation of hedgerow plant communities ... -
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 ... -
An investigation of the effects of submarine groundwater discharge on the coastal carbon and nutrient cycles of a karstic aquifer, Kinvara Bay, Co Galway, Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2018)Summary Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is an important pathway of terrestrial nutrients to the coastal ocean. The influence of SGD on the carbon cycle in coastal zones and the relationship between SGD-borne carbon ... -
Investigation of the stratigrphy, maturation and source-rock potential of Carboniferous black shales in the Dublin Basin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)The Viséan part of the Dublin Basin stratigraphic succession is dominated turbiditic calcarenites interbedded with grey/black shales. Sedimentological analysis of four exploration wells drilled in the north part of the ... -
Irish community-based social enterprises : an investigation into their rationale, activities and motivations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2010)The subject of this thesis was community-based social enterprises in Ireland, especially relating to two questions - why were social enterprises established and why did social enterprises continue to exist? The outcomes ... -
Irish housing and the global financial crisis of urbanisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2013)Due to a confluence of consecutive crisis events in Ireland since the global financial crisis of 2008 and under the greatly contracted credit cycle and debt-crisis of the Euro-area, global capital flows into Ireland's built ... -
Irish oaks : characterising their biodiversity through molecular and morphological analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2002)Oak populations were sampled across Ireland to investigate the biodiversity of Irish oak. Two species are recognized as being native; Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Q. robur L. Oak leaves were analysed for morphological ... -
Irish sills of the North Atlantic Igneous Province : seismic imaging observations and implications for climate change
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2011) -
Iron oxide and associated base metal mineralisation in the Central Midlands Basin, Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)This study describes and characterises the iron oxide mineralisation (hematite, magnetite, silica) associated with base metal mineralisation in the Irish Central Midlands Basin. The iron oxide mineralisation occurs over a ... -
Is bicarbonate stable in and on the calcite surface?
(2016)We have used density functional theory with the COSMO-RS implicit solvent model to predict the pKa for the deprotonation of bicarbonate to carbonate, i.e. HCO3− <=> CO32− + H+, when HCO3− is included in, and adsorbed on, ... -
Is there a new climate politics? Emergency, Engagement and Justice,
(2021)Addressing climate change globally requires significant transformations of production and consumption systems. The language around climate action has shifted tangibly over the last five years to reflect this. Indeed, ... -
The Island of Ireland: Drowning the Myth of an Irish Land-Bridge?
(2008)At the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) c. 26 000 calendar years ago, global sea levels were around 120 m lower than present due to the storage of water on land in the form of large, high-latitude ice sheets. This lowering of ... -
Isolation and characterisation of novel fungal root endophytes from Elymus repens (Poaceae) for resistance to Fusarium, Gaeummanomyces and Pyrenophora
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2019)Barley diseases are predominantly controlled using genetic resistance and fungicides. However, pathogen populations are becoming increasingly tolerant to the active compounds in fungicides and the European Union is endorsing ... -
Joint development recovery on resumption of embryonic movement following paralysis
(2021)Fetal activity in utero is a normal part of pregnancy and reduced or absent movement can lead to long-term skeletal defects, such as Fetal Akinesia Deformation Sequence, joint dysplasia and arthrogryposis. A variety of ... -
Jurassic evaporites and diapirism along the southern Tanzanian continental margin: Implications for petroleum exploration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)One of the key issues for petroleum exploration along the entire Tanzanian margin is the extent of evaporite deposition and its diapirism. This leads to scenarios for the configuration and relative movement of conjugate ... -
The Jurassic Period
(Elsevier, 2020)Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides the most useful marine biostratigraphy. ... -
Just Adapt: Engaging disadvantaged young people in planning for climate adaptation, in SI Is there a new climate politics?
(2021)The visibility of young people in climate change debates has risen significantly since the inception of the Fridays for Future movement, but little is known about the diversity of positions, perspectives and experiences ... -
Just Transition Frames: Recognition, representation, and distribution in Irish beef farming
(2022)The concept of just transition has emerged as an important governance framework guiding sectors transitioning from unsustainable to sustainable practices and is most dominant in debates on the energy transition. This ...
