• Biomethane production from macroalgae 

  Tabassum, Muhammad Rizwan (University College Cork, 2016)

  Irish brown seaweeds have been identified as a potential bio-resource with potentially high specific methane yields. Anaerobic digestion is deemed the most feasible technology due to its commercial viability for handling ...
• Building resilience for social-ecological sustainability in Atlantic Europe 

  Scollick, Andrew Dale (University College Cork, 2016)

  This thesis argues that complex adaptive social–ecological systems (SES) theory has important implications for the design of integrated ocean and coastal governance in the EU. Traditional systems of governance have struggled ...
• Biogas production from novel substrates 

  Allen, Eoin (University College Cork, 2015)

  Biogas production is the conversion of the organic material into methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) under anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is widely used in continental and Scandinavian communities as ...
• Chamber investigations of atmospheric mercury oxidation chemistry 

  Darby, Steven B. (University College Cork, 2015)

  Mercury is a potent neurotoxin even at low concentrations. The unoxidised metal has a high vapour pressure and can circulate through the atmosphere, but when oxidised can deposit and be accumulated through the food chain. ...
• Interaction strengths and net effects in food web models 

  Palmer, Catherine (University College Cork, 2014)

  Understanding how dynamic ecological communities respond to anthropogenic drivers of change such as habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change and the introduction of alien species requires that there is a theoretical ...
