Insights into microbial acclimation to salinity in high-rate anaerobic digestion
(NUI Galway, 2024-02-12)In recent years, anaerobic digestion (AD) has been investigated as a suitable biotechnology to treat wastewater at elevated salinities. Nevertheless, when starting up AD reactors with inocula that are not adapted to salinity, ... -
Iodine in Seaweeds - Physiological Significance and Implications for Climate and Health
(2013-01-18)Iodine-rich macroalgae inhabit the subtidal on coasts in temperate regions. The algae-driven release of iodine into the environment has major implications for the biogeochemical iodine cycle a ffecting atmospheric chemistry ... -
Molecular microbial ecology of ammonia oxidation in coastal sediments
(2017-02-10)This thesis focuses on the processes of nitrification in three coastal bays, specifically, aerobic ammonia oxidation which is the rate limiting step of nitrification and is mediated by ammonia oxidising bacteria and/or ... -
Upper ocean responses to solar heating and rain
(NUI Galway, 2018-07-20)This thesis presents observations made in the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL), with the Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP), in conjunction with measurements of meteorological variables. These are used to establish ...
