Following two major landslide incidences in Ireland in 2003 in Galway and Mayo the Geological Survey Ireland established the Irish Landslides Working Group (ILWG) in 2004. It was felt important that it should be a multi-disciplinary team, bringing together various types of...

Landslide locations and extents help us locate where landslides have occurred. Ireland's location, terrain and climate result in landslides occurring mainly in areas with steep slopes where rock meets the surface and peat covers the terrain. Landslides have the potential to...

ScienceA landslide is the movement of material down a slope. This includes rock, earth, mud and peat. Landslides in Ireland mainly occur on steep mountain slopes. A landslide susceptibility map shows areas where a landslide could occur, how likely it will occur and what causes them....

CE10008 Glacial and non-glacial sediment transport in the Rockall Trough and Porcupine Bank (Nort...EnvironmentSubmarine landslides are the dominant sediment transport mechanism on continental margins, transferring volumes in the order of tens to hundreds of cubic kilometres from the continental slope to as far as the deep abyssal plain. Submarine landslides are known to be capable of...

CE11011 Seismic investigation of the geology and oceanography of the northern Rockall Trough surveyEnvironmentSeismic data acquisition, once streamer and airguns are deployed no deck hands are needed unless there is a problem and they need to be hauled in. The compressors will be operating in order to provide air to the guns but the watch scientist will be attending to that. We are...
