An analysis of the spatio-temporal occurrence of anthelmintic veterinary drug residues in groundwater
(2021)Anthelmintics are antiparasitic drugs used to control helminthic parasites such as nematodes and trematodes in animals, particularly those exposed through pasture-based production systems. Even though anthelmintics have ... -
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 ... -
Back to the future: Comparing Yeast as an outmoded artificial Tracer for simulating microbial transport in Karst aquifer systems to more modern approachs
(2024)Bacterial contamination of karst groundwater is a major concern for public health. Artificial tracing studies are crucial for establishing links between locations where pollutants can rapidly reach the aquifer systems ... -
A combined-method approach to trace submarine groundwater discharge from a coastal karst aquifer in Ireland
(2020)Knowledge about the hydraulic connections between submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and its terrestrial coastal catch- ment is relevant with regard to the management of marine and coastal waters in karst areas. This ... -
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 ... -
Development of Hybrid Models to Estimate Gross Primary Productivity at a Near-Natural Peatland Using Sentinel 2 Data and a Light Use Efficiency Model
(2023)Peatlands store up to 2320 Mt of carbon (C) on only ~20% of the land area in Ireland; however, approximately 90% of this area has been drained and is emitting up to 10 Mt C per year. Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Intercomparison of marine tracer and catchment-based submarine groundwater discharge estimates for a karst aquifer
(2023)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a major source of solutes to the ocean. Consequently, the accuracy of estimates of the magnitude and seasonal variability of SGD is critical for the management of coastal marine ... -
An investigation of anticoccidial veterinary drugs as emerging organic contaminants in groundwater
(Elsevier, 2020)Intensification of the food production system to meet increased global demand for food has led to veterinary pharmaceuticals becoming a critical component in animal husbandry. Anticoccidials are a group of veterinary ... -
Modelling a network of turloughs

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 ... -
Multiple fluorescence approaches to identify rapid changes in microbial indicators at karst springs
(2023)Karst springs are globally important for drinking water supply but are often also exceptionally vulnerable to contamination. Such springs usually exhibit strong variation in microbial water quality in sharp response to ... -
A new sensitive method for the simultaneous chromatographic separation and tandem mass spectrometry detection of anticoccidials, including highly polar compounds, in environmental waters
(Elsevier, 2020)A sensitive and selective method was developed and validated for the determination of 26 anticoccidial compounds (six ionophores and twenty chemical coccidiostats) in surface and groundwater samples at parts-per-quadrillion ... -
Optimizing the use of on-street car parking system as a passive control of air pollution exposure in street canyons by large eddy simulation
(2011)An investigation was carried out to establish the effectiveness of parked cars in urban street canyons as passive controls on pedestrian pollutant exposure. A numerical model of a generic street canyon was developed using ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
(2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -
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. ...
