Aspects of landscape evolution, lineaments and fault zone mineralisation in southeast Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2008)
The findings of this work are presented in 8 chapters. Chapter 2 deals with a deep weathering profile in limestone at the Timahoe, County Kildare. Detailed analysis of materials collected from an investigatory borehole ...
Nitrogen and carbon isotopes in fossil aquatic ecosystems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2009)
In a modem ecosystem, the trophic level of organisms can be distinguished on the basis of their nitrogen and organic carbon isotopic signature (DeNiro & Epstein 1978 and 1981). Due to fractionation during the assimilation ...
Aspects of the palaeoecology and palaeoenvironmental setting of Waulsortian carbonate buildups in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)
The aim of this project has been to elucidate further aspects of the palaeoecology and palaeoenvironmental setting of the Waulsortian facies which developed in Ireland during the late Dinantian. Various techniques have ...
The structure and dynamics of the lithosphere beneath Tibet from seismic surface-wave analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2013)
Despite the numerous studies undertaken to investigate the underlying structures beneath the Tibetan Plateau, fundamental questions about the mechanism of lithospheric convergence between India and Asia (establishing if ...
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 ...
Mesozoic-Tertiary tectonics of SE Ireland and genetic link to offshore extensional basins
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2001)
This work shows that Mesozoic-Tertiary tectonics in Central-East and SE Ireland is more significant than previously recognised. A review of the existing geological and geophysical literature and structural mapping around ...
Provenance and flux of late quaternary sediment, Southeast Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2002)
The major sediment routing systems of Southeastern Ireland in the vicinity of the Leinster Massif were examined and quantified. Samples were taken from four of the major river systems, the Avoca, Barrow, Liffey and Slaney ...
Sedimentology analysis and correlation of the Mullaghmore sandstone formation in the north and north-west of Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2003)
The aims of this study were to provide a sedimentological analysis and environmental interpretation for the Mullaghmore Sandstone Formation and its equivalents, extending from south Donegal to south Sligo and into the north ...
Magmatic differentiation and bimodality in oceanic island settings - implications for the petrogenesis of magma in Tenerife, Spain
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2010)
The Tenerife post-Icod-collapse succession, comprised of the Teide-Pico Viejo central complex and its adjacent rift zones, marks the latest eruptive cycle on Tenerife (200-0 ka) that broadly evolved from primitive lavas ...
Evaluation of stable isotope analysis as a tool to determine nitrate sources in Irish groundwaters
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2007)
This project, which explores combined and δ15N and δ18O analyses on soil-water and groundwater nitrate in conjunction with conventional chemical analysis of water constituents, primarily aims to give a critical evaluation ...
