The Geoscience paradigm: Resources, Risks and future perspectives
2023Mosaics are complex systems composed of several layers (Pasqualucci, 2004) of finer and coarser mortar. This stratification makes them interesting case studies for evaluating the properties of different mixtures. Maintaining the stability of these layers is a fundamental aspect of conserving a mosaic.

Funding of Geosciences: Coordinating National and International Resources
2013The International Council for Science identified forecasting, observing, confining, responding, and innovating as five challenges for global sustainability research. An additional concern—whether support for funding exists in the broader community—is front and center in today’s economic uncertainties around the world.

Searching the World Wide Web for geoscience resources
Computers & Geosciences, 1997Abstract The exponential growth of the Internet has required the development of tools for locating information on the World Wide Web. Virtual libraries and search engines are two such tools useful for finding geoscience resources, but the quality and quantity of information stored in their databases differ greatly.

Co-creating curriculum-aligned geoscience resources with teachers, for teachers
2023Geoscience is vital to our society’s sustainable future. In Ireland, students are introduced to geoscience at Post-Primary level in the non-compulsory subject of geography, yet there are limited resources available to assist geography teachers on their teaching of current  topics and developments in geoscience. To address this, iCRAG
