Claire Byrne 
BSc., MCIWEM
Staff Scientist
 
Claire completed a BSc in Environmental Science from Trinity College, Dublin 2011 and will continue on with postgraduate study in Imperial College London where she has been accepted into an MSc programme in Environmental Engineering.
Claire’s thesis was entitled ‘The Pollution Status of Castletown Estuary’ where she studied the pollution levels of the estuary using the Biological Quality Index and Pollution Load Index as well as the blue mussel Mytilus edulis as a bioindicator. Claire’s main expertise lies in Contaminated Land and Water, Environmental Chemistry, Water and Wastewater treatment, Environmental Impact Assessment and Hydrogeology. Claire is a member of the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).
Claire was nominated by the Head of the Environmental Engineering Dept. in Imperial College as an intellectual academic to represent them in a KIC-Climate Scholars Programme across Europe. The programme starts with a six week contextual learning journey across Europe where I will develop my understanding of climate change issues in the context of each country. Claire will be coached professionally to develop business skills and work in groups to produce a business plan.


 
 
Emily Kerr 
BSc.
Staff Scientist

 Emily Kerr completed a BA (Mod) in Environmental Science in Trinity College, Dublin 2011.  Emily carried out a thesis entitled ‘The long term Carbon storage capacity of Lodge Bog, Co. Kildare’ which involved depth measurements and a 6 metre core sample from the deepest part of the bog which were analysed and measured to calculate the total estimated volume of the bog and also its estimated carbon content and CO2 equivalent. This project was undertaken in conjunction with the Irish Peatland Conservation Council (IPPC) and under the guidance of Chief Executive Dr. Catherine O’Connell.  Emily’s area of expertise lies in Environmental Impact Assessment, Water and Land Contamination, Global Environmental Change and Environmental Chemistry.
 

 

 
Kathleen Gregory
BA., MSc.(Eng.), Dip. DEA, AIEMA
Staff Scientist
Kathleen Gregory graduated from St. Mary's University College with a BA in Geography in 2007. She graduated from Queen's University Belfast with a MSc. in Environmental Engineering in 2008.  Kathleen's M.Eng. thesis  involved sampling a sandy soil and ascertaining the moisture content of the soil using a relatively new piece of equipment; the Denver 2000. This machine measured the dielectric constant of the soil and this could be directly related to the moisture content of the soil, through a calibration equation. The computational data was then correlated with actual data, received from sampling. During the sampling several tests were carried out, moisture content tests, hydrometer tests and dry sieve analysis tests, using the on site labs in Queens.
 
Her main areas of expertise are geography, soil science, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, contaminated land, computer modelling of contaminant transport, hydrogeology, water and wastewater treatment and renewable energy, particularly wind turbine development.

Kathleen is fully competent in Microsoft office packages, Sage Line 50 and also in MODFLOW Software.  Kathleen recently became a qualified domestic energy assessor (Dip. DEA) and is due soon to become an associate member of IEMA.
