Capacity-building and networking events for nature-based solutions and re-naturing in Malta
(2020)Nature-based solutions (NbS) have the potential to build climate resilience and tackle key societal challenges while also providing multiple co-benefits to biodiversity and human well-being. The demand for nature-based ... -
Capture heats up sharks
(2022)Catch-and-release fishing is an important component of ecotourism industries and scientific research worldwide, but its total impact on animal physiology, health and survival is understudied for many species of fishes, ... -
Carbon dioxide emission savings potential of household water use reduction in the UK.
(ccsenet.org, 2009)The relationship between household water use and energy consumption was examined to establish whether the conservation of water within a domestic environment offers significant potential for saving energy, thereby ... -
Carboniferous plant physiology breaks the mold
(Wiley, 2020)How plants have shaped Earth surface feedbacks over geologic time is a key question in botanical and geological inquiry. Recent work has suggested that biomes during the Carboniferous Period contained plants with extraordinary ... -
The case for mainstreaming nature-based solutions into integrated catchment management in Ireland
(2020)The intensification of European policies, agreements and regulations for climate action, water resources, energy, agriculture and forestry, and biodiversity is pressurising governments to adopt a ... -
A catalogue of Irish pollen diagrams
(2013-09-04)The first Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists? Journal in 1927. Since then over 471 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and ... -
Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (cIAP1) is down-regulated during retinal ganglion cell (RGC) maturation.
(Elsevier, 2010)Apoptosis, is the main type of cell death that occurs in ageing and neurodegenerative disease, such as glaucoma. This study therefore characterises the expression profile of caspases (pro-apoptosis) and inhibitors of ... -
Cenozoic flexural uplift in northwestern Ireland and sedimentation in the northeastern Irish Rockall Basin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2002)This study brings together for the first time in northwestern Ireland the onshore and offshore evolution of a passive margin during North Atlantic rifting and tries to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship ... -
Cerebral toxocariasis: Silent progression to neurogenerative disorders?
(2015)Toxocara canis and T. cati are highly prevalent nematode infections of the intestines of dogs and cats. In paratenic hosts, larvae do not mature in the intestine but instead migrate through the somatic tissues and organs ... -
Changes in the hydrological cycle in tropical East Africa during the Paleocene- Eocene Thermal Maximum
(2012)The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), at ca. 55.8 Ma, is one of the most studied instances of past greenhouse gas-induced global warming. As such, it provides a rich opportunity to examine the impact of such global ... -
Changing social groups in zoo populations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2012)Changes in social groups of animals in zoos occur frequently, and group structures can be changed in a variety of ways: introductions of animals, removals of animals, births and deaths. Information on procedures used to ... -
Channel adjustment to extreme floods in arid central Australia.

Characterisation of Miscanthus genetic resources : a combined analysis of plastid and nuclear microsatellites, nrDNA sequences, flow cytometry and morphology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2012)Miscanthus is a highly important forage and horticultural genus of perennial grasses (Poaceae) primarily native to South East Asia. Miscanthus is under intense global investigation as a biomass source for renewable energy ... -
Characterising dispersed metal plumes in surficial soils and sediments in the Irish Midlands: Using isotope fingerprints to develop vectors in mineral exploration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2018)The enhancement of mineral exploration is essential for the growing demand of base metals in the world. Successful geochemical surveys in soil and till have led to numerous discoveries. However, most of these deposits are ... -
Characterising pesticide residues in floral resources for bees
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)Pesticide use in agriculture is one of the main factors driving pollinator declines. Bees are highly important pollinators and may be at risk from exposure to pesticide compounds while foraging for pollen and nectar. In ... -
Cheirolepidiaceous diversity: an anatomically preserved pollen cone from the Lower Jurassic of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2015)To date, the vast majority of fossils described for the extinct conifer family, the Cheirolepidiaceae, have been reported from compression/impressions primarily from Cretaceous rocks; there are fewer reports from ... -
Chemical Abrasion Applied to LA-ICP-MS U-Pb Zircon Geochronology
(2014)Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U–Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of ... -
Chemical abrasion applied to SHRIMP zircon geochronology: An example from the Variscan Karkonosze Granite (Sudetes, SW Poland)
(2012)Thermal annealing followed by acid etching of zircon (chemical abrasion or CA) can be successfully utilised to minimize or eliminate the effects of major and cryptic Pb-loss for SIMS U?Pb zircon dating. The procedure is ...
