Uncertainty-Aware Modelling and Optimisation of a Wind-to-Hydrogen Energy System
Green hydrogen can help store surplus renewable electricity and decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify directly. However, hydrogen production from wind power is highly variable and depends on uncertain factors such as wind conditions, turbine performance, wake losses, electrolyser efficiency and operational constraints. This project will build on an existing model of the proposed … Read more

Citizen Science via Salt Marsh monitoring application
This project requires the student to construct an application to support citizen science and engagement in the monitoring and data collection of coastal regions, particularly salt marshes. The application will introduce the user to the range of plants and animals and encourage them to investigate and survey areas of marsh to support ongoing sustainability research … Read more
Personalized environmental change application
Humans are sometimes slow to recognise change over time – the shifting baseline syndrome – and this presents a challenge in the understanding of how much our planet and it’s various spheres have already changed. A personalized understanding of the rate of change of the planetary boundaries during an individual’s own lifetime may increase their … Read more
Sustainability in Sustainability Research
**This project is for students in the MSc Statistics and Sustainability only. No other student will be accepted for this project.** This project seeks to review what datasets are available in an Irish context around sustainability and climate change (e.g., EPA Climate Change in the Irish Mind Survey, SEAI Survey of Irish Attitudes to Wind … Read more
