We are so proud of Aileen Doran ⚒️🔬👩🔬🌍 for this awesome accomplishment! If you'd like to hear her talk at your institution, get in touch with MDSG! iCRAG Centre
Congratulations Aline Melo!
Recently our MSc class in Subsurface Characterization toured along Killiney Bay studying Quaternary sections representing the glaciation and deglaciation of Ireland with Sam Kelley & Mark Coughlan, thinking about ground-modelling and implications for infrastructure development
QUEST and SCALE team members from UCD Civil Engineering, UCD Earth Sciences & Dublin City University about to embark on an escape rooms. If they get out, everyone gets a pay raise. If they fail to get out in time, everyone gets the sack. #teambuilding 😜 Will report back on their progress!
Happy end of term from (most of) the volcano contingent at UCD Earth Sciences - it has been an absolute privilege to see the group grow this year!
2023 was an intense year. My team accomplished so much and I'm looking forward to working with you all in 2024 😊 Now it's time for a break, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎅🤶🎊 From right: Nanyu, Auro, Angela, Conor, Tommie, Victoria, Prithwijit Chakraborti, and me @ UCD campus
Several researchers in the UCD School of Earth Sciences investigating limestones in County Meath, deposited ca. 350 million years ago in very deep tropical waters. It is currently being investigated as a target for geothermal ground to heat systems. Pablo Rodríguez-Salgado Koen Torremans
Congratulations Aileen Doran ⚒️🔬👩🔬🌍 for receiving the Mineral Deposits Studies Group (MDSG) Early Career Researcher Distinguished Lecturer Award! Stay tuned and make sure you attend one 😉 See links below for the fully story! ⬇️ independent.ie/regionals/wexf… mdsg.org.uk/news/mdsg-ecr-…
Last term, students in our MSc in Subsurface Characterisation and Geomodelling carried out field mapping and data collection of faulted and folded carbonate rock sequences in Malahide, Ireland. Students discussing with Dr Conrad Childs, Dr Tom Manzocchi and Dr Koen Torremans
Raw materials are vital for key energy transition technologies. Dr Rockjunkie and Dr Simon Jones are studying mineral deposits in the Iberian Pyrite Belt. The research team during the sampling campaign in Portugal, including Dr Filipa Luz of Almina, who are a key collaborator.
First survey of 2024 completed w/ aplomb👌 Smashing few days onboard Marine Institute funded #RVTomCrean w/colleagues from UCD Earth Sciences, Geography and Environmental Sciences & University of Galway Geography collecting data supporting conservation palaeobiology, blue carbon, Quaternary & oceanography research projects.
Academically & socially kicked off the MOVEMENT Project w/ the visit of Katrien V Landeghem Ocean Sciences to UCD Earth Sciences. Led by PhD recruit Muireann Walsh, we'll investigate seafloor sediment dynamics & bedform development supported by UCD Civil Engineering Shauna Creane & Jennifer Keenahan
Fabulous day out with the UCD Earth Sciences #Quaternary geology students examining contrasting glacial landscapes up the Dublin Mountains ⛰️ Not quite sure what Sam Kelley was demonstrating atop a tor, isostatic rebound? 🤷🏼
