Mediterranean sea surface temperatures and planktonic foraminifera palaeoecology during short-term climate oscillations of the Late Pleistocene
(2022-03-30)The Mediterranean is a semi-enclosed sea, ideally located for recording and amplifying global climate signals. Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), the Bølling-Allerød (BA) and Younger Dryas (YD) are periods of extreme climatic change ... -
A palaeoecological analysis of late quaternary sapropels from the Mediterranean Ridge
(2020-12-18)A PALAEOECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF LATE QUATERNARY SAPROPELS FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN RIDGE By Darren Barry The sedimentary sequences of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea are interspersed by blackcoloured, organic rich ... -

Age constraints on Precambrian glaciations and the subdivision of Neoproterozoic time
(Subcommission on Neoproterozoic Stratigraphy, 2005)A review of age constraints on the Neoproterozoic glaciations suggests that at least four distinct glacial events can be recognised, three of which appear to be global. These are (in order from oldest to youngest) the ... -
Non-mineralised discoidal fossils from the Ordovician Bardahessiagh formation, Co. Tyrone, Ireland
(Royal Irish Academy, 2010)Four non-mineralised fossils from the Ordovician Bardahessiagh Formation, near Pomeroy, Co. Tyrone, have been examined for the first time following their recovery from a temporary trench dug in 1992, and are here described ... -
Cryptic disc structures resembling Ediacaran discoidal fossils from the lower Silurian Hellefjord Schist, Arctic Norway
(Public Library of Science, 2016)The Hellefjord Schist, a volcaniclastic psammite-pelite formation in the Caledonides of Arctic Norway contains discoidal impressions and apparent tube casts that share morphological and taphonomic similarities to Neoproterozoic ... -
Disc-shaped fossils resembling porpitids or eldonids from the early Cambrian (series 2: stage 4) of western USA
(PeerJ, 2017)The morphology and affinities of newly discovered disc-shaped, soft-bodied fossils from the early Cambrian (Series 2: Stage 4, Dyeran) Carrara Formation are discussed. These specimens show some similarity to the Ordovician ... -

Delivering integrated catchment management through the bottom-up approach: a critical analysis
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016)Managing our water is essential to support life and protect our ecosystems. Integrated catchment management= (ICM) is about bringing water issues, people and organisations together at the right scale in order to achieve ... -

Natural capital: an inventory of Irish lakes
(Geographical Society of Ireland, 2018)Lakes are important components of our landscape and along with networks of rivers and streams provide a range of important ecosystem services and natural capital. Estimates of lake numbers, particularly small lakes, have ... -
Contrasting pelagic plankton in temperate Irish lakes: the relative contribution of heterotrophic, mixotrophic and autotrophic components, and the effects of extreme rainfall events (Pre-published version)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)The mobilisation of energy from allocthonous carbon by heterotrophic bacterioplankton can be proportionally more important than autotrophic production in humic lakes. Moreover, increasing levels of dissolved organic carbon ... -
Integrating observed, inferred and simulated data to illuminate environmental change: a limnological case study (Pre published)
(Royal Irish Academy, 2016)Effective management of aquatic ecosystems requires knowledge of baseline conditions and pastvariations in stressors and their effects in order to mitigate the impacts of future variability and change. This study utilizes ... -
The palaeolimnology of Lough Murree, a brackish lake in The Burren, Ireland
(Royal Irish Academy, 2013)Lough Murree, a rock/karst barrier lagoon, is superficially isolated from the sea and seasonal variations in lake water level reflect precipitation and groundwater variation. Lake salinity influenced by subsurface saline ... -
Audio production in youth work: an international comparative case study between Irish and South African community radio stations
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2018)In this dissertation I examine the potential for audio production in a youth development setting, located within a community radio station. In particular I explore how participation in audio training can offer participants ... -
Local government and local economic development: perceptions and experiences of the Local Government (Reform) Act 2014
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2018)Local government is an important service provider to the people of Ireland. It is also a key component in the democratic structures of the State. However in comparison with other countries, Ireland is seen as highly ...
