Tourist expectations and experiences in County Mayo
(Geography Publications, 2014)This chapter reports findings relating to tourist expectations and experiences in the central and western coastal and mountainous areas of County Mayo, based on survey work which has not been published previously in the ... -
Labour and education-related migration in the age of globalisation: new links between Brazil and Ireland
(Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 2018-12-22)International migration over great distances is one expression of increased global connectivity. Migration between Brazil and Ireland since the late 1990s illustrates three well-recognised contemporary flows: recruitment ... -
Negotiating colonialism: Gaelic reaction to English expansion in early modern Ireland, c.1541–1641
(Historical Geography Research Group, Royal Geographical Society, 2003)[No abstract available] -
Envisioning human security – commentary to Gill
(Geographical Society of Finland, 2018)Prompted by Nick Gill’s review essay, ‘The suppression of welcome’, this commentary additionally reflects on attendant questions of security and responsibility in seeking to conceptualize a more human-centred vision of ... -
Geography under threat in Irish second-level education
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)Recent Department of Education recommendations for a revised second-level junior cycle programme in the Republic of Ireland omitted geography from its established position in the core curriculum. This paper describes the ... -

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 ...
