My main research interest is in the field of Earth System change, with a focus on characterising processes operating in both ancient and contemporary environments. Starting with evolution of the early Earth, I research interactions between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere to better understand environmental change over geological timescales. I then apply my knowledge of natural systems to the contemporary environment to research environmental processes in both terrestrial and marine environments. Additionally, I apply my knowledge of complexity in natural systems to research methodologies for education design and public engagement in a range of contemporary societal challenges, such as climate change and environmental monitoring and protection. My research on the early Earth uses naturally occurring isotopes as clocks of geological process. I study themes such as tectonic evolution, mountain building, ocean formation and changes in the solid Earth, the atmosphere and oceans. My research on fossil soils demonstrates that free oxygen formed over 3,000 million years ago, which changed our fundamental understanding of the emergence of complex life on earth. My environmental geoscience research on terrestrial environments focuses on environmental radioactivity and its impact on human health. My research shows that radon, which is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is responsible for approximately 350 lung cancer cases in Ireland each year. I develop innovative methodologies to monitor radon and environmental radioactivity. In a world first, I integrated geology and indoor radon to produce a radon map, now the new legislative map for Ireland, and hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). I collaborate widely in this area, including an active collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to update the European Code Against Cancer, with global impact. My environmental geoscience research on marine environments focuses on cold-water corals. These are corals that can grow in cold and deep marine environments, including off the coast of Ireland. I use my knowledge of geochemistry and mineral growth to better understand how cold-water corals can be used as environmental proxies to reconstruct past environments and climates, thereby adding value to archives of marine core samples from around the world. My research has also demonstrates that cold-water corals are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors, highlighting the need to protect these unique species. I apply my knowledge of natural systems to research and develop methodologies for education design and public engagement. This is where my research on natural systems meets my teaching and public communication. I lead Climate Innovation and I am TCD lead of Ireland's Knowledge Centre for Carbon, Climate and Community Action (IKC3), an initiative which fosters innovation in higher and further education to support the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon society. Through IKC3, I have developed new research-led methodologies which contribute to Ireland's Climate Action plan and which offer a new model for the transformative power of further and higher education. In summary, through my innovative research, I have transformed our view of Earth Systems, and in designing education and public engagement for climate action.

  The Geological Evolution of the Haib Porphyry Cu-Mo Deposit
  Summary

  The Haib deposit was discovered in the late 1800's or early 1900's by German explorers but remained poorly understood until relatively recently. It was only recognised as a porphyry type deposit in the 1970's, and had been previously classed as a shear zone-hosted deposit. Knowledge of porphyry systems has greatly increased in the recent past, and this knowledge is now being applied to unravel the complex history of Haib. Geochemistry, petrography, U-Pb zircon and apatite age dating, as well as field relations are used in this study to define a new paragenesis of events that have affected the Haib deposit since its formation.

  Irish Isotope Research Group Workshop
  Summary

  Naturally occurring isotopes may be used in many different applications in archaeological research. Such studies often employ novel strategies to investigate diet, geographic origin, mobility, provenance and antiquity. A large number of Ireland and internationally based researchers are currently applying isotopes to tackle fundamental questions in Irish archaeology. The Irish Isotope Research Group (IIRG; http://iirg.wordpress.com/) was recently established to provide a forum for researchers in this field to identify research collaborations and exchange knowledge. This application is to enhance the IIRG's ability to communicate the potential of Irish research by organising a conference and workshop with invited speakers.

  Developing a Cross-Border Radon Research Network in Ireland
  Summary

  This project aims to increase cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange in Ireland in order to increase our understanding of the factors affecting radon distribution in both natural and built environments. Apart from the scientific objectives, this proposal will provide a forum on best practices of science communication in relation to links between geosciences, radiological protection and human health. The proposed network will involve interactions between researchers at the following: Trinity College Dublin (TCD), University College Dublin (UCD), National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI), Environmental Protection Agency (of Ireland; EPA), Health Service Executive (HSE), Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI), Queen's University Belfast (QUB), Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), British Geological Survey (BGS) and Public Health England (PHE) Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards. Colleagues from mainland Europe will also be involved in discussions regarding EU funding.

  Understanding Crustal Evolution of the Early Earth: The Singhbhum Craton, India
  Summary

  Our understanding of the Earth's early evolution in terms of crustal growth, development of habitable atmosphere-hydrosphere, development of biosphere and geodynamic processes is built upon studies of Archean-Proterozoic rock successions preserved as old cratonic nuclei and their cover sequences. The oldest among these geological terranes are Eoarchean (3.6 billion years before present [Ga])-to-Paleoarchean (3.6-3.2 Ga) terranes. Although there has been considerable research conducted on several of these fragments of the Earth's ancient crust, one such sequence, the Singhbhum Craton of eastern India, has received relatively little attention. Radiometric age dating of key exposure of volcanic rocks and associated sediments within the Singhbhum Craton will provide new information on the mechanisms and time-scales of development of the Earth's early crust.

  Refinement of high spatial resolution U-Pb geochronologic methodologies
  Summary

  Uranium-lead (U-Pb) geochronology is the most widely used radiometric dating tool in geologic time-scales from 800 thousand years to 4 billion years. The use of U-Pb geochronology underpins a broad range of geologic and environmental research topics and is of pivotal importance in our understanding of timescales and rates of processes operating in the natural environment. This proposed project will (1) investigate the chemical nature of mineral chronometers at the nano-scale, (2) develop the use of new mineral chronometers, (3) refine methodologies and data reduction protocols so as to improve accuracy and precision of micro-beam geochronologic measurements.

  Summary

  This study is focussed on the Aouéouat greenstone belt and associated Tasiast gold deposit, both of which form part of the Tasiast-Tijirit Terrane, Mauritania. The Tasiast-Tijirit Terrane in turn forms part of the Reguibat Shield of the West African Craton. Neither the Tasiast gold deposit, nor the Aouéouat greenstone belt, have been studied in detail in the past. This thesis therefore represents the first comprehensive, modern geological study of the region. Original detailed petrography, geochronology and geochemistry are presented and used to elucidate the timing and formation of the Aouéouat greenstone belt, surrounding rocks, and also the Tasiast gold deposit itself. These new findings are discussed in relation to global Archean geology, in particular to that of crustal and mantle evolution, the advent of plate tectonics, and the development of a generic model for Archean orogenic gold deposits worldwide.

  Radon Monitoring and Hazard Prediction in Ireland
  Summary

  This project utilises recently available high-resolution airborne gamma-ray spectrometry (radiometric) and soil geochemistry data from the Tellus projects of Ireland and indoor radon concentrations measured by the EPA. These datasets will be used in conjunction with other geological information (e.g. rock-type, presence of fracture systems, etc) to construct a high-resolution radon hazard map of Ireland. Selected test sites will be further studied using soil radon measurement in order to better understand factors affecting production, transport and accumulation of radon in the natural environment. Such mapping of radon-prone areas will ultimately help to inform when prevention and remediation measures are necessary. A reduction in radon exposure will result in a decreased likelihood of developing lung cancer and a corresponding lowering of the national health burden.

  The Gander Zone in Ireland
  Summary

  Comparative terrane study between Newfoundland and Ireland investigating the presence or absence of a distinct peri-Gondwanan block. U-Pb age spectra of inherited ages in (meta) sediments, as well as U-Pb ages of inherited zircons and Sm-Nd isotope signatures (whole rock) from magmatic rocks will be used to characterise selected samples from SE Ireland and Newfoundland.

  Sr Isotopes and the Irish Biosphere
  Summary

  The objective of this research is to use strontium isotopes, expressed as 87Sr/86Sr, as a tracer for environmental processes, including 87Sr/86Sr variation during weathering and uptake into the biosphere through plants and animals. This is being realised by carrying out systematic and high-resolution geochemical sampling, using a variety of different media, to better understand the complexity of 87Sr/87Sr in the biosphere.

  Oxygenation of the Earth System in Deep Time
  Summary

  The Earth System has gone through several extreme changes since its formation over 4.5 billion years ago. One of the most important changes from an evolutionary perspective was atmospheric and oceanic oxygenation. This is conventionally thought to have occurred about 2.3 billion years ago, but new evidence suggests there was an earlier, transient oxygenation event 500-600 million years prior to this. The proposal deals with assembling key researchers in this field to progress our understanding of the causes, timing and effects of atmospheric oxygenation.

  Assessment of the Skeleton of the Cold-Water Coral Lophelia pertusa as a Tool for Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction
  Summary

  This study aims to assess the fidelity of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, the most common colonial species in modern waters, as a high-resolution archive for the marine environment. Numerous specimens have been studied from four locations in the NE Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, including cores from a fossil colony of the Porcupine Seabight. This colony (located at 370 metres water depth) is the first to be described in the region at depths less than 500 metres.
