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 ... -
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 ...
