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, ... -
Closing the neoliberal gap: risk and regulation in the long war of securitization
(Wiley, 2010)When US military commanders refer today to the “long war”, they could more instructively refer to the “long war of securitization”, involving both practices of war and reconstruction that have always been based on a ... -
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, ... -
Cost competitive places: shifting fortunes and the closure of Dell's manufacturing facility in Ireland

Quantification of biofilm build-up in filters when intermittently loaded with low-strength synthetic wastewater
(2011)Accumulation of particulate matter and microorganisms present in wastewater as biofilm on the surface of filters can lead to clogging of the media. If clogging of filters occurs, they need to be temporarily decommissioned ... -
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 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 ... -
The role of headwater wetlands in altering stream flow and chemistry in a Maine, USA catchment
(Wiley for American Water Resources Association, 2011-03-28)Headwater wetlands, including hillside seeps, may contribute to downstream systems disproportionately to their relatively small size. We quantified the hydrology and chemistry of headwater wetlands in a central Maine, ... -
New opportunities and cautionary steps? Farmers, forestry and rural development in Ireland
(Sciendo, 2011-03-30)It is argued that European agriculture is currently confronted with a multitude of critical challenges and developmental changes, in which the viability of farms based solely on traditional forms of production applies ... -
Temperature calibration of Mg/Ca ratios in the intermediate water benthic foraminifer Hyalinea balthica
(American Geophysical Union, 2011-04-01)Core top samples from Indonesian and northeast Atlantic depth transects were used to calibrate Mg/Ca and δ18O in tests of the calcitic benthic foraminifer Hyalinea balthica to bottom water temperature between 4°C and 13°C. ... -
