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 ...
Modelling phytoplankton dynamics in a complex estuarine system
(2011)
The primary objective of this research was to develop a generic methodology for numerical modelling of the water quality within estuarine systems; in particular, this research focused on modelling nutrient dynamics and ...
Irish estuaries: Water quality status and monitoring implications under the water framework directive
(2011)
The status of water quality of Irish estuaries is reviewed; this sheds light on the rationale behind the design of the national monitoring programme. Relative to other EU Member States, Ireland's coastal monitoring programme ...
Nested circulation modelling of inter-tidal zones: details of a nesting approach incorporating moving boundaries
(2010)
Nested circulation models developed to date either exclude the flooding and drying process or prohibit flooding and drying of nested boundaries; they are therefore ill-suited to the accurate modelling of inter-tidal areas. ...
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. ...
Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ...
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 ...
