From synergy to inhibition: Effects of multi component solutions on the crystallization of divalent carbonates in natural and synthetic environments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2024)The understanding of the processes governing the mechanisms, kinetics, and pathways of carbonate crystallization is crucial in the context of carbon capture and storage through mineralization. However, uncertainty still ... -
Cold-water corals from the deep-sea to the TV: development of shelf-edge mounds, assessment of anthropogenic stressors and geochemical parameters, and impacts of science communication
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2024)Cold-water corals (CWCs) are the hidden reef-builders of the deep ocean. They are out of sight, yet they perform important functions for marine ecosystems, play a role in stabilising climate change, and hold clues to study ... -
High-resolution remote sensing data and machine learning approaches for mapping and monitoring habitats
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2024)The increasing decline in the status of habitats, mainly due to anthropogenic stressors, has spurred the development and implementation of many conservation-related legislation. This legislation involves mapping, a critical ... -
Development and physical characteristics of the Irish shelf-edge Macnas Mounds, Porcupine Seabight, NE Atlantic
(2024)Modern cold-water corals (CWCs) occur in a wide range of water depths, with Desmophyllum pertusum being one of the most common species. Pleistocene, Holocene, and modern coral mound formation by living CWC reefs have ... -
Multi-spatial-temporal remote sensing and machine learning for mapping management impacts on peatlands in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2024)Peatlands, constituting over half of terrestrial wetland ecosystems across the globe, hold critical ecological significance and are large stores of Carbon (C). In Ireland, the wetland landscape is dominated by rare oceanic ... -
Distribution of Nature-based Solutions in cities across Europe
(2024)Nature-based Solutions (NBS) is a conceptual framework that seeks to use properties of nature to co-produce ecosystem services to build climate change resilience and improve quality of life by mitigating the relation- ship ... -
Ponding of random plastic filter medium due to the fungus Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine in the treatment of sewage
(1983)Fungi are a common component of the film in the upper regions of percolating filters and are associated with strong sewages and industrial wastewaters. Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine is reported as growing extensively ... -
Biological communities and environmental controls in a seasonal wetland habitat
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2017)In a context of global biodiversity decline, ponds have been identified as biologically rich habitats, and temporary ponds can support distinct communities of rare species. Some pond habitats, including dune slacks, are ... -
A taxonomic revision and systematics study of Prunus L. (s.l.) in continental Southeast Asia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2024)This thesis aims to provide a complete account of the genus Prunus L. for Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In addition, the relevant specific problems of Prunus in Southeast Asia are outlined, and the generic ... -
Origin and evolution of the Mesoarchean Aouéouat greenstone belt and associated gold mineralisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2016)This Aouéouat greenstone belt is situated in the Tasiast-Tijirit Terrane of the Reguibat Shield, part of the West African Craton. Petrographic, geochronological, geochemical and isotopic studies of the Aouéouat greenstone ... -
Genotyping for the study of population genetics and trait evaluation in Picea sitchensis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2024)Genotyping provides information on the genetic makeup of an individual or a population of individuals. Molecular markers are commonly used as an affordable method of genotyping individuals, and the most popular modern ... -
Advances in the detection of particulate matter and aerosols in peat: Exploring Icelandic volcanic activity and multi-source deposition in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2024)This Ph.D. research project develops new techniques for the detection of particulate matter and aerosols in peat, a relatively underexplored atmospheric archive and carries out novel investigations of atmospheric deposition ... -
Quantifying the impacts of multiple stressors on the production of marine benthic resources
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2024)Coastal ecosystems are among the most heavily affected by climate change and anthropogenic activities, which impacts their diversity, productivity and functioning and puts many of the key ecosystem services they provide ... -
Climate Smart: geography, place and climate change adaptation education
(2024)Geographical education provides a unique space for supporting climate literacy and action. In this paper we present a novel place-based online educational resource platform - Climate Smart – which seeks to expand the ... -
BRICS’ Enlargement: Power Expansion or Contraction in a Changing World Order?
(2024)The BRICS’ expansion should be seen in the context of an ongoing challenge to the international order in general, and the West’s competition with China and Russia in particular ■ China views the current difficulties ... -
The zircon record of the Sudbury impact crater and its implications for the early Earth
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2016)In the absence of widespread rocks older than 4.0 Ga, the earliest terrestrial material and the only direct evidence for the nature of the Earth's very early crust are tiny zircon crystals. The chemical compositions of ... -
Embedding co-production of nature-based solutions in urban governance: Emerging co-production capacities in three European cities
(2024)This paper seeks to understand how co-production can become embedded as a collaborative governance practice by which city governments plan, deliver and steward nature-based solutions. To these ends, the paper analyses how ...
