Gerrity, Seán; Kennelly, Colm; Clifford, Eoghan; Collins, Gavin (Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-17)

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is an odourous, highly toxic gas commonly encountered in various commercial and municipal sectors. Three novel, laboratory-scale, Horizontal-Flow Biofilm Reactors (HFBRs) were tested for the removal ...

Hydrogeophysics of coastal aquifers - geophysical applications to the assessment of groundwater properties in coastal gravel and karst aquifers

O'Connell, Yvonne (2017-05-19)

Airborne, terrestrial and marine geophysics have been employed to examine coastal zone hydrogeology in two very different aquifer types in Ireland. Modelling of regional airborne electromagnetic data informed by ground-based ...

Hydrology and management of turloughs (temporary lakes) affect marsh fly (sciomyzidae: diptera) communities

WILLIAMS, CHRISTOPHER D.; SHEAHAN, JEROME; GORMALLY, MIKE J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-11-01)

Hydrology and management affect dipteran communities in wetlands and they, themselves, have the potential to influence prey communities. Turloughs are temporary lakes unique to Ireland. Their vegetation is ecotonal on a ...
