Great to see the latest @GsiGroundwater geothermal exploration borehole cores, drilling rig and downhole equipment today at @CorkAirport where temperatures of 22.5°C were encountered at 1000 m depth in the Old Red Sandstone of the Munster Basin. #decarbonisation #geothermal #cork

Thanks to @EPAResearchNews for funding this research into dissolved organic matter fluorescence and disinfection byproduct formation in #drinkingwater catchments. Final project report published below! @UCCResearch @eriucc @uccBEES @EPACatchments

In the little market town of Bentham, people used to let their children play in firefighting foam that spilled out of the Angus Fibre plant onto the streets, little knowing it was laden with PFOS, a chemical now globally banned due to harm to health. 🧵

New publication! Thanks to all co-authors and big thanks to @megafloods, @Hydro_Mark and Paul Quinn at the Hutton Institute. Thanks also to @EPAResearchNews and @opwireland for research support.

Was delighted to talk about my research on the use of nature-based solutions for flooding and water quality with the fine people at @10Things_ToKnow. Have a look on the RTE player Special thanks to @KathrionaDev, @EPAResearchNews, @megafloods rte.ie/player/series/…

'Ireland is not prepared for extreme weather events. We are not prepared for what is coming down the line.' Dr Michelle McKeown @palaeo_mich addresses the cause of deadly floods in Spain and high intensity rainfall events in Ireland. rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

‘Hope comes from climate action, everyone has a role to play’ Ahead of the return of climate change series #Heated @RTEOne, Dr Michelle McKeown @palaeo_mich shares why it’s more important than ever to inspire collective hope and action. Read: bit.ly/UCCHC24

Tributary dams across eastern Czech Republic have started releasing large volumes of water to bring reservoir levels down to create storage for what could become one of the worst flooding events in Central Europe’s modern history.

It's that time of the year again where we welcome a new cohort of MSc Applied Environmental Geoscience students to @UCC grand day for it ☀️ @uccBEES @SEFSUCC @IGI_PGeo @IAH_Ireland @GeolSurvIE #STEMEducation #Geoscience

🌧️Can we harness the power of nature to help tackle flooding? @KathrionaDev meets @MurphyDarragh to talk @SloWaters_Ire in the upcoming series of @10Things_ToKnow 👀 @EPAResearchNews @UCCResearch @NewDecadeFilms @teagasc @MetEireann @scienceirel @EPAIreland @hea_irl…

🚨PhD Opportunities!🚨 Two #PhD positions available focusing on deer in Ireland 🦌 Applications open until 13th September!

Congratulations to @MurphyDarragh on successfully defending his PhD thesis on #NaturebasedSolutions for flooding and water quality today!! Thanks to examiners Prof Laurence Gill (@TCD_Civileng) and Dr Deirdre Hennessy @uccBEES @SloWaters_Ire @EPAResearchNews

Researchers at @uvmvermont employ turbidity-discharge #hysteresis to investigate the urbanization and #SuspendedSediment transport dynamics in watersheds and provide a conceptual framework for better management strategies. ACS ES&T Water: go.acs.org/asg

Water flowing off degraded peatlands south of An Fál Carrach flows into the aquamarine waters of the North Atlantic

Excellent thread on the unprecedented ecological collapse of #LoughNeagh presenting a major environmental and public health risk 👇

Currently advertising 3 postdoc or RA positions in Applied Ecology, Movement Ecology, Landscape Ecology, and Ornithology. Research will have a real-world impact on some of Ireland's threatened bird species and human-wildlife conflict. drive.google.com/file/d/1aBV5Dj…

Guess somebody is paying to read the detail; it sounds important. Suggests #groundwater has a more active role in global #water cycle than most Earth system #models & precipitation contributing to #aquifer recharge is ~2x that assumed in UN IPCC assessment nature.com/articles/s4156…

In early 2023 we wrote a paper on CO2 removal potential in Spain: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This week we launched our first CDR enhanced weathering pilot project in Spain 🙏 Excited to see the progression of this and other studies in the country! 🇪🇸 (No hard feelings for Euro 2024)
