The coupled δ13C-radiocarbon systematics of three European stalagmites deposited during the Late Glacial and early Holocene were investigated to understand better how the carbon isotope systematics of speleothems respond ...
The French in-situ earth retaining system soil nailing began in 1970 and benefited greatly from that government’s investment in the 1986 study ‘Clouterre’. As such, French geology strongly influenced both practice and ...
Several recent articles and discussions in GIN, by Penman (2002), Thomann et al. (2003),
Ridley (2003) and Sellers et al. (2003) highlight the importance of pore water pressure
and suctions and in particular the difficulties ...
Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide
temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials and it
is known that application ...
Differences between early and late Irish-immersion secondary school students are examined, not only in terms of academic outcome and target language ability, but also in terms of attitudes to learning the target language. ...
Geotechnical characteristics of Dublin Boulder Clay (DBC) based on detailed site
investigation and site experience from some recent large projects in Dublin are presented.
This paper attempts to synthesise available ...
Few terrestrial Holocene climate records exist from Southeastern Europe despite its important geographic position as a transitional climatic zone between the Mediterranean and mainland continental Europe. In this study we ...
This report discusses a surface collection of late Mesolithic date from Corralanna, Co. Westmeath. The site, which was discovered after peat extraction in 1999, is characterised by a lithic assemblage comprised almost ...
