Mayo Ireland, capture every fish that migrates between the freshwater portion of the Burrishoole catchment and the sea, and are situated between Lough Feeagh and Lough Furnace. The traps are emptied every day,...

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...

Karst is a landscape with distinctive landforms that develop on rock types that are readily dissolved by water. In Ireland, karstification mostly occurs in limestone regions. This karst dataset contains mapped karst landforms in Ireland including: boreholes, caves, dry...

The groundwater vulnerability concept is based largely on the question “can water and contaminants move in the subsurface materials (soil and subsoil) and/get down to groundwater easily?” Groundwater is most at risk where the subsoils are absent or thin and in areas of karstic...

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...

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...
