Storms and surges in Irish coastal waters
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-04-29)
Mechanisms of storm surge formation and severity on the north European continental shelf and, in particular, in the Irish coastal waters are examined in this paper. A numerical surge model was developed and used in combination ...
Long-term inter-annual variability of a cyclonic gyre in the western Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-05-26)
The western Irish Sea gyre (WISG) is a cyclonic baroclinic flow around a dome of stagnant water which develops each year during the heating season in the western Irish Sea. Research was carried out to determine long-term ...
Effects of complex hydrodynamic processes on the horizontal and vertical distribution of Tc-99 in the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-10-14)
The increased discharge of Tc-99 from the Sellafield plant following the commissioning of the Enhance Actinide Removal Plant in 1994 was reflected in higher Tc-99 activity concentrations over much of the Irish Sea The ...
Tide-surge interactions and their effects on total sea levels
(Springer Verlag, 2013-05-08)
The research presented in this paper involves the application of the joint probability method to the estimation of extreme water levels resulting from astronomical tides and surge residuals and the investigation of the ...
An integrated approach to trophic assessment of coastal waters incorporating measurement, modelling and water quality classification
(2012)
Various protocols have been developed for trophic assessment of coastal waters but most incorporate single value compliance criteria for water quality parameters which, in reality, exhibit significant spatial variation. ...
Regional modelling of the 21st century climate changes in the Irish Sea
(Elsevier, 2012-06)
An assessment of the complex evolution of climate change signals in the Irish Sea over the 21st century is presented in this paper. Potential impacts of climate change on the local hydrography are explored and interrelationships ...
Tide-surge interactions and their effects on total sea levels in Irish coastal waters
(Springer, 2013-06)
The research presented in this paper involves the application of the joint probability method to the estimation of extreme water levels resulting from astronomical tides and surge residuals and the investigation of the ...
Development of high-resolution multi-scale modelling system for simulation of coastal-fluvial urban flooding
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-02-16)
Urban developments in coastal zones are often exposed to natural hazards such as flooding. In this research, a state-of-the-art, multi-scale nested flood (MSN_Flood) model is applied to simulate complex coastal-fluvial ...
The effects of array configuration on the hydro-environmental impacts of tidal turbines
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
The economic viability of tidal turbines will require the deployment of multiple devices in array formations in a manner analogous to wind farms. This research investigates the effects of the configuration of a tidal turbine ...
High-resolution multi-scale modelling of coastal flooding due to tides, storm surges and rivers inflows: A Cork city example
(Elsevier, 2017-01-31)
This paper demonstrates the capability of a new state-of-the-art flood modelling system consisting of multiple nested models to simulate urban coastal flood inundation. A flood event in Cork City, Ireland which occurred ...
