    • Assessment of Tc-99 monitoring within the western Irish Sea using a numerical model 

      Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana; Hartnett, Michael; Dabrowski, Tomasz (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-05-26)
      Water circulation patterns and associated material transport within a highly dynamic system such as the Irish Sea are complex phenomena. Although Tc-99 monitoring programme undertaken by the Radiological Protection Institute ...

    • Determination of flushing characteristics of the Irish Sea: A spatial approach 

      Dabrowski, Tomasz; Hartnett, Michael T.; Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-12-08)
      The Authors devised a novel generic approach to assessing the flushing of the Irish Sea through the determination of spatially distributed residence times and the development of flushing homogeneity curves. Results indicate ...

    • Influence of seasonal circulation on flushing of the Irish Sea 

      Dabrowski, Tomasz; Hartnett, Michael T.; Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2009-12-16)
      We applied a three-dimensional general ocean and coastal circulation model to the Irish Sea in order to determine water renewal time scales in the region. The model was forced with meteorological data for 1995, a year with ...

    • Life cycle assessment of sitka spruce forest products grown in Ireland 

      Dolan, Desmond; O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Gil-Moreno, David; McGetrick, Patrick J.; Harte, Annette M. (Springer, 2023-08-28)
      Purpose The purpose of this study is to quantify the environmental impacts of Sitka spruce timber products harvested from the forestry sector in Ireland. This data is typically country-specific and is required to accurately ...
