| Anthropogenic soils & soils in archaeology Urban and human-modified soils, cultural interactions with soils, and soils in archaeology. Boyne Catchment GIS Project (INSTAR) — Boyne catchment GIS Landscape study, including palaeobiogeochemistry of Thomastown bog, Co. Meath (led by Dr. Steve Davis, UCD School of Archaeology; Heritage Council INSTAR Programme—programme funding from Dept. Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Phase III, June to November 2010 in progress). Collaboration with UCD School of Archaeology (Medieval Pilgrimage in the Wicklow Mountains: Medieval Templeteenaun and its Environment; Soils, Pollen & Plant Macrofossils (Dr. Aidan O'Sullivan). Ecosystem research Biogechemical cycling in forests, freshwater quality and greenhouse gas emissions. ForFlux — Biogeochemistry of Irish Forests (with Trent University Ontario, Coillte; DAFF Research Stimulus Fund €230k, PI). FutMon — Forest Ecosystem Monitoring (2009–2010, with Coillte, EU & Dept. Agriculture Food and Fisheries, €50k); related project series includes FOREM (1991–2004) and Forest Focus (2005–2008). SUAS — Survey of Upland Acid Systems (led by Prof. Julian Aherne, Trent University Ontario; EPA STRIVE). SIOS — Mapping Critical Loads for Ireland (led by Prof. Julian Aherne, Trent University Ontario; EPA). HYDROFOR — Assessment of the Impacts of Forest Operations on the Ecological Quality of Water (advisor; led by Dr. Mary Kelly-Quinn, Prof. Michael Bruen; EPA STRIVE; member of advisory group). Informal enquiries are welcomed from suitably qualified persons wishing to pursue funding opportunities for research PhD studies on anthropogenic soils. Backgrounds in soil or earth sciences and archaeology are particularly suitable.
