This study investigates water quality along the river Liffey in Dublin city with help of citizen scientists, including community users such as paddle boarders and those accessing from bank. The primary objective was to evaluate near sources pollution observed by citizens, while filling data gaps for United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, Indicator 6.3.2. participants used field chemistry kits measure nitrate (NO₃-N) phosphate (PO₄-P) at 19 locations on a monthly basis over...
Recombination between hepatitis C single stranded RNA viruses is a rare event. Natural viable intragenotypic and intergenotypic recombinants 1b-1a, 1a-1c 2k-1b, 2i-6p, respectively, have been reported. Diagnostically represent an intriguing challenge. Hepatitis genotype defined by interrogation of the sequence composition 5' untranslated region [5'UTR]. Occasionally, ambiguous specimens require further investigation genome, usually NS5B region. The original purpose this study was to confirm...
Abstract Monitoring the condition (water quality, biodiversity, hydromorphology) of small water bodies presents a challenge for relevant authorities in terms time and resources (labour financial) due to extensive length stream network or sheer number standing bodies. Citizen science can help address information gaps, but effort required should not be underestimated if such projects are generate reliable sustained data collection. The overall aim this paper is propose framework...
Abstract This paper evaluates for the first time spatial distribution of a wide group organic (phthalates, nitro, aliphatic, halogen, aromatic, phenol and amino compounds) inorganic pollutants along Liffey river in Dublin city. The work takes into account effect short-term weather conditions on occurrence these contaminants. results showed that rainfall affect levels days following event. In addition, tributaries entering were not found to impact its water quality. relation pollutants,...
Abstract The Southern Irish End Moraine (SEEM) was, for many years, an accepted feature of the geomorphological assemblage Ireland. This is despite lack mapping ‘End Moraine’ over large areas. paper presents evidence from county Kilkenny, area that SEEM cuts across east to west. It attempts trace this on landscape through using both field observations and a detailed digital elevation model. Where possible, it also looks at sedimentology Charlesworth (1928) originally described. Following...
A multiproxy (pollen, microcharcoal, loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry) sequence from Lough Cullin, southeast Ireland, supported by a high-resolution radiocarbon chronology, modelled using Bayesian approaches, provides record of environmental change for much the Holocene. Following establishment mixed deciduous woodland, climatic deterioration was likely responsible pronounced vegetation erosion, 7615–6500 cal. BC to 6245–5575 BC, evidence ‘8.2 Kyr’ BP climate event....
Emerging economies are increasingly constructing large hydropower projects to meet growing energy demand. The Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra transboundary basin shared by China, India, and Bangladesh holds enormous untapped potential, attracting ambitious development plans in the region. is a highly biodiverse region sensitive environmental anthropogenic stressors. Hydropower advertised as powerful infrastructure that can provide greater access clean water energy. However, these also present...
Accurate hydrological prediction faces challenges due to diverse datasets and the absence of universally applicable models. This study investigates meta-learning's role in identifying optimal models for time series forecasting specific contexts. We explore limitations model identification introduce meta-learning as a solution. The proposed methodology formalizes selection process by using meta-features from dataset that includes series, geology, experimental configuration results predictions...

Abstract This paper examines the geomorphology of a suite deep channels around village Ballyfoyle on Castlecomer Plateau, Co. Kilkenny, and suggests mechanism for their formation. The were mapped using 10-m digital terrain model ground truthed in field. channel locations superimposed bedrock map area. Sediments within two passages nearby Dunmore Cave also examined. While cave sediments represent flow karstic system from stream with its origin outside itself, possibly indicate subglacial...
George Victor Du Noyer (1817–69) was among the surveyors employed by Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) shortly after its foundation in 1845. He one several men—antiquarians, artists, recorders nineteenth century life— whose interest went beyond geology. This paper explores Noyer's development as a geologist, and his transformation from artist to geologist. It discusses career both Ordnance Surveys considers relationships with superiors—relationships that were at times marked profound...
Abstract The science of geology began to thrive during the middle nineteenth century, with expansion and consolidation geological mapping Geological Survey Great Britain Ireland, foundation societies across islands Ireland. As desire for knowledge understanding among general public grew, so did provision lectures courses open public. These lecture series proved popular a wide cross-section men women Victorian This paper explores by officers Ireland through Museum Irish Industry in Dublin,...
In the Artificial intelligence (AI) sense, meta-learning is ability of an artificially intelligent machine first to learn how conduct different complex tasks, taking principles it utilised one task and applying them other tasks. Hence, general concept "learning learn". Machine learning provides capabilities from past data generates models for future prediction, which can be helpful multiple catchment management such as water elevation monitoring flood prediction.Our initial studies focused...
