Air to sea gas exchange of CO2 in the north-east Atlantic Ocean
Keane-Brennan, Jevon (2011-12-08)Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have been rising for the past 200 years, and started increasing at a faster rate during the last 60 years. The world's oceans act as a reservoir for large amounts of CO_2. How they ... -
Assessing the impact of wastewater treatment plant effluent on the norovirus contamination of shellfisheries
Flannery, John (2014)Norovirus (NoV) is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in the developed world. The discharge of Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent to the marine environment has implications for the virus quality of ... -
Assessment of environmental compliance of waterbodies through integration of monitoring and modelling
McGovern, Joseph Vincent (2016-09-30)Design of water quality monitoring networks in estuarine and coastal waters is hampered by a lack of a clear methodology. Monitoring networks are designed on an ad-hoc basis supported by experts in the area. Guidance on ... -
Curbing The Consumption of Distance? A practice-theoretical investigation of an employer-based mobility management initiative to promote more sustainable commuting
Heisserer, Barbara (2013-01-15)A central feature of modern life is the desire and the need to be mobile. The increasing availability of cars during the twentieth century facilitated the rise in individualised, motorised travel in many countries, including ... -
Development of filtration technologies for effective, cost-efficient and robust water treatment
Grace, Maebh A. (2016-08-12)The provision of high quality, potable water in a sustainable and effective manner is a key challenge for water engineers, scientists, and policy makers. Urbanisation and industrial development, along with population ... -
Ecophysiology of Ascophyllum nodosum: Potential impacts of climate change and commercial harvesting
Eschmann, Christine (2013-07-01)The foundation species Ascophyllum nodosum is an important intertidal producer in temperate regions of the North Atlantic. It provides habitat for many species and is an essential facilitator of biodiversity. This study ... -
Iodine in Seaweeds - Physiological Significance and Implications for Climate and Health
Nitschke, Udo (2013-01-18)Iodine-rich macroalgae inhabit the subtidal on coasts in temperate regions. The algae-driven release of iodine into the environment has major implications for the biogeochemical iodine cycle a ffecting atmospheric chemistry ... -
Synthesis and application of novel chiral 4,4' PheBOX ligands in asymmetric catalysis and Immobilisation study using 2,2'-PyBOX
Flanagan, Davina (14-10-17)A great deal is known about the reactivity of catalysts derived from 2,2'-PyBOX and 2,2'-PheBOX ligands in asymmetric reactions. The initial aim of this research was to investigate a new type of bisoxazoline ligand, where ...
