1. The role of ocean circulation and regolith removal in triggering the Mid-Pleistocene Transition: Insights from authigenic Nd isotopes

   Approximately 1,250,000 to 700,000 years ago, the pacing of glacial-interglacial cycles changed from 41,000 years to ∼100,000 years, a shift known as the ‘Mid-Pleistocene Transition’ (MPT). The cause – or […]

2. Antarctic extreme seasons under 20th and 21st century climate change

   In this study, available large ensemble datasets in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Phase 6 (CMIP6) archive were used to provide the first multi-variate overview of the evolution of extreme seasons […]

3. Biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized by microalgae: A comprehensive review of eco-friendly wound healing therapies

   Wounds are generally caused by an injury to the skin such as a cut or a puncture. They can be considered in two groups, acute and chronic wounds. Poor wound […]

4. Plastics counteract the ability of Antarctic krill to promote the blue carbon pathway in the deep ocean

   The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) play a critical role in promoting the so-called “blue carbon pathway” by producing a large amount of fast-sinking faecal pellets (FPs) which facilitate the transport […]

5. Ireland and the Antarctic Treaty System

   Ireland has a rich Antarctic history, with Bransfield, Crozier, Shackleton, Crean and others acting as key Irish individuals in Antarctic exploration. Recognized as a source of Irish national pride, memorials, […]

6. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry measurements for high-resolution chemical ice core analyses with a first application to an ice core from Skytrain Ice Rise (Antarctica)

   Conventional methods of inorganic impurity analysis do not provide high enough depth resolution for many scientific questions in ice core science. In this study, we present a setup of laser […]

7. Ancient environmental microbiomes and the cryosphere

   In this review, we delineate the unique set of characteristics associated with cryosphere environments (namely, ice and permafrost) which present both challenges and opportunities for studying ancient environmental microbiomes (AEMs). […]

8. Tunnel valleys as geohazards: new insights from high-resolution 3D seismic data

   High-resolution 3D seismic data are used to analyse the infill of buried tunnel valleys in the North Sea. The level of detail provided by the high-resolution three-dimensional seismic data (6.25 […]

9. Expanded Understanding of the Western Antarctic Peninsula Sea-Ice Environment Through Local and Regional Observations at Palmer Station

   The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has been experiencing rapid regional warming since at least the 1950s, however, the impacts of this warming at the local scale are variable and nuanced. […]

10. Seasonal and Local Time Variation in the Observed Peak of the Meteor Altitude Distributions by Meteor Radars

    Meteoroids of sub-milligram sizes burn up high in the Earth’s atmosphere and cause streaks of plasma trails detectable by meteor radars. The altitude at which these trails, or meteors, form […]

11. A new species of Fissidentalium (Scaphopoda: Dentaliidae) in association with an actinostolid anemone from the abyssal Labrador Sea

    The benthic biodiversity of the abyssal Labrador Sea was investigated using Agassiz trawl and in situ imagery. A megafaunal scaphopod associated with an epizoic anemone was recovered from soft sediments. […]

12. The mysteries of reactive nitrogen species above polar snow

    Emission of NOx and HONO from the snowpack can have a significant impact on the oxidising capacity of the boundary layer in the polar regions. This thesis presents work that […]
