Landslide Susceptibility Mapping

In 2013 the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) completed a landslide susceptibility mapping project as part of the National Geoscience Programme 2007 -2013. This project was one of the main recommendations made in the 2006 publication “Landslides in Ireland” published by GSI and the Landslides Working Group. Engineering consultants Mouchel Ireland Ltd. were commissioned to carry out the susceptibility mapping on behalf of GSI.​

PanGEO Terrain Motion

​The Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) participated in this FP7-funded  project and assessed ground instability geohazard information for two of the most densely populated areas in the country, Co. Dublin and Cork City. By combining satellite measurements of ground and building movement with geological information already held by the Geological Survey and limited field validation GSI has developed maps and reports which show and describe areas of potential or observed ground instabilities. 

GWFlood Groundwater Flooding

​GWFlood is a groundwater flood monitoring and mapping programme aimed at addressing the knowledge gaps surrounding groundwater flooding in Ireland.
