The Groundwater Subsoil Permeability map classifies how easy water can infiltrate subsoils downwards at any point in the land surface. Permeability across the country is classified as either ‘High’, ‘Moderate’ or ‘Low’. This map is used to determine groundwater vulnerability cate

Different aquifers have differing abilities to store and transmit water. Based on the hydrogeological characteristics and on the value of the groundwater resource, GSI has classified Ireland’s land surface into aquifer categories.
GSI Aquifer classes are divided into three main

This dataset is the GSI’s legacy borehole database, compiled over many years from many sources. This dataset is available while we make significant improvements to our borehole holdings.

Before building new structures engineering companies carry out a site investigation to find out the quality of the ground (strength and depth of soil and to see if rock and or groundwater is present). These investigations involve digging holes such as trial pits and boreholes. Th

In terms of time scale in geology, Quaternary is the present-day time and it began 2.6 million years ago. A lot of this time period relates to the Ice Age. Quaternary Geomorphology shows features left on the earth’s surface during this time. Glaciers and ice sheets, which are mas

The term Physiography can be described as a blending of “physical" and "geography". Physiographic Units show Ireland’s physical landscape divided into categories such as ‘Bedrock plain’ and ‘Flat to undulating sediments’. Areas are grouped based on bedrock geology (solid rock at

A borehole is any hole drilled or dug into the ground. The material (soil and or rock) from the hole is collected and tested in a laboratory to find out the structure and type of the soil and or rock beneath the ground. A borehole record or log is a written description of the mat

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 Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly cover

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 cause

A 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. The -
Geological heritage or ‘geoheritage’ is the term used to describe sites or places with features of geology that have important scientific, educational, cultural, or visual value. There are many types of sites. They are made from past and present geological processes (wearing away
