Karstification and groundwater-surface water interactions in the Meath-Westmeath lakeland region
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2010)This thesis investigates the degree of karstification and the characteristics of groundwater - surface water interactions in the Meath-Westmeath Lakeland region. In particular, groundwater - lake interactions in the region ... -
Knowledge-driven actions; Transforming higher education for global sustainability: Independent Expert Group on the Universities and the 2030 Agenda
(UNESCO, 2022)Universities and, more broadly, higher education institutions (HEIs), need to use the knowledge they produce and their education of new professionals, to help solve some of the world ́s greatest problems, as addressed ... -
LA-ICP-MS U-Pb apatite dating of Lower Cretaceous rocks from teschenite-picrite association in the Silesian unit (southern Poland)
(2014)The main products of volcanic activity in the teschenite-picrite association (TPA) are shallow, sub-volcanic intrusions, which predominate over extrusive volcanic rocks. They comprise a wide range of intrusive rocks which ... -
LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating and REE patterns of apatite from the Tatra Mountains, Poland as a monitor of the regional tectonomagmatic activity
(2014)This study presents apatite LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age and trace elements concentrations data from different granite types from the Tatra Mountains, Poland. Apatite from monazite and xenotime-bearing High Tatra granite was dated ... -
Lake littoral macroinvertebrate biomass and community structure across alkalinity and nutrient gradients
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2010)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of alkalinity and nutrients on the biomass of lake littoral macroinvertebrate communities. An initial comparative study of nine lakes determined the effect of alkalinity ... -
Lake Ohrid?s tephrochronological dataset reveals 1.36?Ma of Mediterranean explosive volcanic activity
(2021)Tephrochronology relies on the availability of the stratigraphical, geochemical and geochronological datasets of volcanic deposits, three preconditions which are both often only fragmentary accessible. This study presents ... -
Lake sediment-based reconstructions of variations in levels of deposition of atmospheric pollutants from the industrial-scale combustion of fossil fuels and ecosystem response at three remote Irish lake sites
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2009)Humans have greatly manipulated the environment over the last 200 years through processes of industrialisation, urbanisation and agricultural intensification. As a result, levels of anthropogenic air pollution have increased ... -
The Land of the Chiefs and the Land of the State - What happens after an acquisition in Ghana?
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2020)In Africa the importance of land cannot be overstated given that many rural livelihoods depend on farming for subsistence. Yet, where international land acquisitions are concerned, the majority take place on the African ... -
Landforms and hydrology of the lowland karst of County Roscommon, Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2009)Karst is a significant aspect of the landscape of Ireland as more the half the island is underlain by limestone. Roscommon is located in Ireland's western karstic lowlands. The majority of Roscommon is underlain by clean, ... -
Landscape evolution at a young rifted margin: the Loreto region of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
(Imperial College London, Imperial College London, 2012)Continental rifts are commonly flanked by zones of high elevation. Proposed uplift mechanisms include active and induced asthenospheric upwelling, and isostatically driven lithospheric flexure. Although these hypotheses ... -
Large trees, supertrees and the grass phylogeny
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2003)During the last decade, the advances of molecular techniques have profoundly changed the way scientists build and use phylogenetic trees. Vast fields of research as different as ecology, evolution of development, genomics, ... -
Late Devensian and holocene relative sea-level change around Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2007)Late Devensian and Holocene Relative Sea-Level Change Around Ireland. All records of Irish sea level since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) reflect the interplay of both glacio-isostatic and eustatic components with the ... -
Late Quaternary sea-level change and evolution of Belfast Lough, Northern Ireland: new offshore evidence and implications for sea-level reconstruction
(2019)The interplay of eustatic and isostatic factors causes complex relative sea‐level (RSL) histories, particularly in paraglacial settings. In this context the past record of RSL is important in understanding ice‐sheet history, ... -
Lessons learned from the integration of Strategic Environmental Assessment with transport planning in Athens, Dublin and London
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2001)Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) refers to the identification and evaluation of the positive and negative effects of actions at a higher decision making level than development projects such as programmes, plans and ... -
Lifeworlds : literary geographies in 1930s Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2006)This study examines the various representations of place by Irish writers who published English language novels between 1929-1939. The aim of the study was to explore the various affective and subjective dimensions of place ... -
Linear habitats across a range of farming intensities contribute differently to dipteran abundance and diversity.
(2020)1. While the value of linear farm habitats for the protection and enhancement of farmland biodiversity in general is known, less is understood about their contribution to Diptera, especially those with different ecological ... -
Littoral macroinvertebrates in lakes : patterns of distribution and potential use in ecological assessment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2001)The forthcoming European Council Directive establishing a framework on water policy will require Member States to monitor the ecological status of lakes. Biotic as well as physicochemical criteria must be included in ...
