A role for quality rural tourism services in rural development? Evidence from the Republic of Ireland
(Rural Development Institute, Brandon University and Saint Mary's University, 2003)[No abstract available] -
Regional imagery and Irish tourism promotion
(BELGEO, 1999)Regional images may be defined as representations of places which consist of one or more of a variety of elements which may include people, landscapes, flora or animals (Gold and Ward, 1994; Kneafsey, 1997). Sound, when ... -
Late Pleistocene snowline fluctuations at Nevado Coropuna (15 degrees S), southern Peruvian Andes
(Wiley, 2011-02-09)Deposits preserved on peaks in the southern Peruvian Andes are evidence for past glacial fluctuations and, therefore, serve as a record of both the timing and magnitude of past climate change. Moraines corresponding to the ... -
Glacier fluctuations in the southern Peruvian Andes during the late-glacial period, constrained with cosmogenic He-3
(Wiley, 2011-01-19)The occurrence of pronounced climate reversals during the last glacial termination has long been recognised in palaeoclimate records from both hemispheres and from high to low latitudes. Accurate constraint of both the ... -
Late Cenozoic deposits at Reedy Glacier, Transantarctic Mountains: implications for former thickness of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(Elsevier, 2010-01-19)Deposits corresponding to multiple periods of glaciation are preserved in ice-free areas adjacent to Reedy Glacier, southern Transantarctic Mountains. Glacial geologic mapping, supported by (10)Be surface-exposure dating, ... -
Relative timing of last glacial maximum and late-glacial events in the central tropical Andes
(Elsevier, 2009-06-18)Whether or not tropical climate fluctuated in synchrony with global events during the Late Pleistocene is a key problem in climate research. However, the timing of past climate changes in the tropics remains controversial, ... -
In situ10Be production-rate calibration from a 14C-dated late-glacial moraine belt in Rannoch Moor, central Scottish Highlands
(Elsevier, 2018-11-23)An objective of terrestrial in situ cosmogenic nuclide research is to obtain precise and accurate production-rate estimates on the basis of geological calibration sites from a diverse range of latitudes and altitudes. ... -
Relationships between local governance and local government and the role of the state: evidence from the Leader programme in Ireland
(Presse Universitaires de Rennes PUR, 2016)Central states allocated responsibility for local development actions to a range of private, community and voluntary organisations in many European countries, over the past three decades. This phenomenon has been viewed ... -
Late glacial fluctuations of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in the White Mountains of Maine and New Hampshire, U.S.A.
(Cambridge University Press and Elsevier, 2015-03-19)Prominent moraines deposited by the Laurentide Ice Sheet in northern New England document readvances, or stillstands, of the ice margin during overall deglaciation. However, until now, the paucity of direct chronologies ... -
Younger Dryas deglaciation of Scotland driven by warming summers
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014-04-14)The Younger Dryas Stadial (YDS; similar to 12,900-11,600 y ago) in the Northern Hemisphere is classically defined by abrupt cooling and renewed glaciation during the last glacial- interglacial transition. Although this ... -
Comment on ‘Was Scotland deglaciated during the Younger Dryas?’ by Small and Fabel (2016)
(Elsevier, 2016-10-04)The course of climatic events in Scotland and the broader North Atlantic region during the glacial termination has important implications for our understanding of the causes and mechanisms of abrupt climate change but ... -
Interstadial rise and Younger Dryas demise of Scotland's last ice fields
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-04-06)Establishing the atmospheric expression of abrupt climate change during the last glacial termination is key to understanding driving mechanisms. In this paper, we present a new 14C chronology of glacier behavior during ... -
Population change in the Republic of Ireland 1981-1991: trends and spatial patterns
(Universite de Lille I (Sciences et Technologies), 1992)Demographic trends in the Republic of Ireland have gradually moved closer to Western European norms during the past two decades. Birth rates have continued to fall and internal migration flows have become diversified. ... -
A strategic approach to protecting the sustainability of a natural heritage and tourism resource: the River Moy, Ireland
(Société Géographique de Liège, 2017)This paper discusses the natural heritage of the River Moy salmon fishery in western Ireland and methods of protecting the resource from negative innovations. The latter are associated, mainly, with changes in agricultural ... -
Local governance and sustainable rural development: Ireland's experience in an EU context
(Univerza v Mariboru, Filozofska Fakulteta, 2009)This paper discusses the role of local governance partnerships in promoting sustainable rural development with reference to EU policy over the past two decades. Ireland’s experience is presented as an example. From the ... -

Imaginaries and practices: learning from ENERGISE about the integration of social sciences with the EU Energy Union
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2018-08-24)This chapter aims (1) to identify problematic framings relating to the integration of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) research with the developing EU Energy Union and (2) to account for the practice of SSH-related ... -
Towards a practice-theoretical classification of sustainable energy consumption initiatives: Insights from social scientific energy research in 30 European countries
(Elsevier, 2018-07-03)Reducing residential energy use and related CO2 emissions across society requires approaches that understand energy demand as dependent on the performance of a range of interconnected social practices, which includes aspects ... -
Artists as workers in the rural; precarious livelihoods, sustaining rural futures
(Elsevier, 2018-04-13)This paper explores rural-based artists' experiences of achieving sustainable livelihoods in rural localities as part of emerging discussions about the significance of culture and the cultural economy for rural development ... -
