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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Planktonic foraminiferal response to the Last Glacial Termination and their application to Holocene biostratigraphy in the western Mediterranean sea
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2011)
This research presents the planktonic foraminiferal assemblage variation of four western Mediterranean Sea cores since the Last Glacial Termination. The Holocene epoch represents the current interglacial since the Last ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
