Reassessing transfer-function performance in sea-level reconstruction based on benthic salt-marsh foraminifera from the Atlantic Coast of NE North America
(Elsevier, 2011)The need to increase the number and distribution of sea-level records spanning the last few hundred years has led to particular interest in developing high-precision, geologically based sea-level reconstructions that capture ... -
A Toba-scale eruption in the Early Miocene: the Semilir eruption, East Java, Indonesia
(2011)The Indonesian archipelago is well known for volcanic activity and has been the location of three catastrophic eruptions in the last million years: Krakatau, Tambora and Toba. However, there are no reports of large magnitude ... -
U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of apatite by LA-ICPMS
(2011)Apatite is a common U- and Th-bearing accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and a minor but widespread detrital component in clastic sedimentary rocks. U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of apatite has potential application ... -
Using geogenic radon potential to assess radon priority area designation, a case study around Castleisland, Co. Kerry, Ireland
(2022)Globally, indoor radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and second most common cause after tobacco smoking. Soil-gas radon is the main contributor to indoor radon, but its spatial distribution ... -
