Biography

Prof. Mc Dermott is co-lead of iCRAG’s securing and protecting groundwater resources research challenge. His current research focuses on reconstructing the timing and character of late Pleistocene interstadials and the role of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) as a driver of climatic conditions in western Europe during the past two millennia.  NAO variability is crucial in determining multiannual variations in the power output potential of windfarms in western Europe.

Active iCRAG projects:

  • An investigation of arsenic sources, speciation and mobilization processes in selected Irish aquifers - Alex Russell
  • An investigation of uranium occurrence, sources and mobilization processes in selected Irish groundwaters - Fani Papageorgiou
