TimpeallachtGravity is the measure of the force of attraction at any point on the Earth's surface. This force will vary depending on the rock type present. Gravity data is used for interpreting sub-seabed geology often in the context of the hydrocarbon exploration and mining industry, as...

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of the North East, Midlands, Cork and Dublin would be made up of if these materials were...

TimpeallachtThe term bathymetry refers to the ocean's depth relative to sea level, it can also be used to describe submarine topography or underwater terrain. INFOMAR bathymetry data is measured primarily by multibeam (MBES) and also singlebeam(SBES) echosounder devices. MBES transducers...

TimpeallachtINFOMAR backscatter data is measured primarily by multibeam (MBES) and also singlebeam(SBES) echosounder devices. MBES transducers transmit multiple a high frequency pulses of sound from beneath a vessel in a fan shape down to the seabed. The amount of energy reflected back...

This is a 5 m resolution bathymetry tif in WGS84 projection. The survey was carried out on the R.V. Keary using a hull mounted EM3002 multibeam echosounder. Data was subsequently processed using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. Depths in the survey area ranged from 0m to 55m, all...
