• Impacts, fate and trophic transfer of microplastics in the freshwater environment 

  Mateos-Cárdenas, Alicia (University College Cork, 2020-08-31)

  Microplastics (1–1000 μm) are now ubiquitous in all environments, including freshwater systems. Plastics of different sizes and shapes have been reported to be present in river and lake samples from the water column and ...
• Plant communities along Irish roads: the impact of humans and potential to improve biodiversity 

  Thompson, Rosalyn (University College Cork, 2019)

  The vegetation, soil nutrients and soil seed banks of road verges (located along a national road scheme in the south of the Republic of Ireland) were examined along with their adjacent fields plus reference points in the ...
• Nature and origin of black carbon in Ireland 

  Buckley, Paul (University College Cork, 2019-12)

  Black carbon (BC) particles are important atmospheric radiative forcing agents and also have a negative effect on human health. In this study, a seven wavelength, dual spot aethalometer, was used to determine the equivalent ...
• Real-time bioaerosol analysis in the healthcare environment 

  Fennelly, Mehael (University College Cork, 2020-01)

  Airborne infection has been difficult to study in hospitals. Conventional sampling methods for airborne organisms are limited in sample time intervals (minutes to hours) and conventional culture requirements, restricting ...
• The role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in shaping alternative migratory tactics and metabolic phenotypes in brown trout 

  Archer, Louise C. (University College Cork, 2019-11)

  Variation among and within populations accounts for a considerable portion of phenotypic diversity produced in nature, and is instrumental to the structure and function of ecosystems. Understanding how, and why, intraspecific ...
