In this educational tool the learner acts as the Minister for Transport and the challenge is to meet the national 2030 and 2050 carbon emission targets for the transport sector. The parameters in the simulation would include the options available to the Minister, how much do they cost, what reductions will they bring, how politically … Read more
*This project is for a MSc in Statistics and Sustainability student. “Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method. For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set … Read more
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. An agricultural experiment was carried out across multiple sites in Europe. At each site, species diversity was manipulated agronomic grassland plots, and the yield was recorded across multiple harvests. The climatic conditions vary considerably across the sites where the experiments were … Read more
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. Increasing the number of species sown in an agricultural grassland system provides a potential way to improve the sustainability of the overall system. Experiments designed to test this typically have species diversity manipulated across field-scale plots, with a plot-level response such … Read more
This project will develop, and evaluate, an educational tool to teach about coastal vegetation. It will utilize publicly available GIS databases. The project will be co-supervised by Professor Iris Moller (Geography)
This project is in collaboration with the joint School of Medicine/ADAPT health research project called PARADISE. ANCA Vasculitis is a rare auto-immune disease in which sufferers are susceptible to flares, whereby a person’s immune system attacks their own body. Treating people with vasculitis is difficult, because the most successful treatments, such as rituximab, have significant … Read more
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) commissioned a national survey of the attitudes of people who live near to 50 new commercial solar or wind farm projects in Ireland.
