Book description
In 1850, William King (1809–86) published the first comprehensive study of fossils from the Permian following the establishment of the system by Murchison in 1841. The monograph is based mainly on King s own collections; the type and figured material now belongs to the James Mitchell Museum, National University of Ireland, Galway, where King was professor of geology and mineralogy for many years. Some 150 species, over one-third identified by King, are carefully described and beautifully illustrated. The fossil biota ranges from foraminiferans to plants and reptiles; but a key focus is the large fauna of
The life and work of critic, cultural commentator and short story writer Seán à Faoláin.
Seán Ó Faoláin (1900-1991) remembered as a successful writer and critic, and a courageous figure in twentieth century Ireland.

Seán Ó Faoláin joined the Irish Volunteers and fought in the War of Independence and the Civil War but said he was never cut out to be a killer.
Seán Ó Faoláin was born in Cork in 1900.

Oceanographic sampling from the RV Celtic Explorer with a CTD/rosette. A CTD measures conductivity (which helps determine salinity), temperature and depth

Scientists from the Marine Institute, Maynooth University and the National University of Ireland Galway were recently aboard the RV Celtic Explorer, for a 14-day scientific survey studying the shelf and deep water off the west coast of Ireland. This Marine Institute’s annual ocean climate survey has been running since 2006 and facilitates long-term physical and biogeochemical observations of the deepwater environment in the South Rockall Trough.
The Rockall Trough is an important region that provides a pathway for the transport of heat and salt from the North-East Atlantic to the Nordic Seas, where waters are subjected to phenomena such as deep convective mixing that creates cold dense water. Water exchange and interactions in the Rockall Trough play a fundamental part in the overall th
Term Abroad: Summer program during her junior year
For those who argue that there isn’t time in your program for study abroad, or that the courses offered might not actually move you closer to your major, or worry about costs or the daunting task of flying alone, let alone abroad, this is for you. I, too, had these same thoughts, and went through nearly three years of my undergraduate career safe in the knowledge that I would never get to experience another culture in the near future, and that if I wanted to travel abroad I would do it once I was graduated with a steady job and paid time off, thank-you-very-much. As a double major I doubted that it could be done, but I am here today to refute that claim as well. I am happy to say that I took a leap and was able to explore another culture, even learn some of a new language, and make lasting friendships all over the course of a summer.
