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

The latest topsoils data from the Tellus project, managed by the Geological Survey Ireland.
The Topsoil (c.5–20 cm deep) samples were analysed for: Analytical Method: ICP(-OES/-MS) following aqua regia digestion; soil pH, soil loss-on-ignition at 450°C The survey was conducted on -

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 expert
