Assessment of climate change impact on the annual maximum flood in an urban river in Dublin, Ireland
(2022)Hydrological modelling to address the problem of flood risk corresponding to climate change can play an important role in water resources management. This paper describes the potential impact of climate change on an urban ... -
Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ... -
Comment on “A new approach to stabilization of calcareous dune sand”
(2023)The Discussers read with interest the paper by Ghadr et al. (2022) (the Authors); the research topic being particularly important for various regions of the world regarding the main goals of dust suppression and wind-driven ... -
Development and optimisation of a multi-residue method for the determination of 40 anthelmintic drugs in environmental water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) with LC-MS/MS detection
(MDPI, 2019-05-22)A comprehensive multiresidue method was developed and validated for the determination of 40 anthelmintic compounds, including 13 transformation products, in surface and groundwater samples at sub nanogram per litre (ng ... -
Discussion: Effects of plastic waste materials on geotechnical properties of clayey soil [DOI: 10.1007/s40515‑020‑00145‑4]
(2023)The paper under discussion (by Hassan et al. (2021)) presents a comprehensive set of experimental results from standard geotechnical laboratory tests performed on a low-plasticity clay soil (CL) amended with between 1% and ... -
Drone image segmentation using machine and deep learning for mapping Irish bog vegetation communities
(2020)The application of drones has recently revolutionised the mapping of wetlands due to their high spatial resolution and the flexibility in capturing images. In this study, the drone imagery was used to map key vegetation ... -

Environmental geotechnics for peatland management and restoration
(2019)Peatlands are dynamic eco-hydrological wetland systems, increasingly under threat worldwide due to natural and anthropogenic effects, including large-scale drainage and oxidation, causing their subsidence and ... -
Environmental geotechnics: challenges and opportunities in the post-COVID-19 world
(2021)The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic not only has created a health crisis across the world but is also expected to impact negatively the global economy and societies at a scale that is maybe ... -
Flow cytometry and fecal indicator bacteria analyses for fingerprinting microbial pollution in karst aquifer systems
(2022)Microbial pollution of aquifers is a persistent water quality problem globally which poses significant risks to public health. Karst aquifer systems are exceptionally vulnerable to pollution from fecal contamination sources ... -
Monitoring environmental supporting conditions of a raised bog using remote sensing techniques
(2018)Conventional methods of monitoring wetlands and detecting changes over time can be time-consuming and costly. Inaccessibility and remoteness of many wetlands is also a limiting factor. Hence, there is a growing recognition ... -
Prediction of indoor air exposure from outdoor air quality using an artificial neural network model for inner city commercial buildings
(2015)NO 2 and particulate matter are the air pollutants of most concern in Ireland , with possible links to the high er respiratory and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rates found in the ... -
Review of the ecosystem services of temperate wetlands and their valuation tools
(2022)Wetlands constitute important habitats that provide several ecosystem services (ES). Wetlands have been termed the kidneys of the world for their water purification services and contain 20–25% of total soil organic carbon. ...
