Unearthed
|  
| Unearthed: impacts of the Tellus surveys of the north of Ireland details how this unprecedented land and air survey of hidden Ireland rewards us with a more complete understanding of the natural history of this region. It tells an epic story of how Ireland’s geological past will sustain its future'. Professor Iain Stewart MBE Between 2004 and 2013, €15 million of government and EU funding was spent on high-resolution, airborne geophysical and geochemical sampling surveys of Northern Ireland and the six northern counties of the Republic of Ireland. This book presents some of the findings of the first two stages of Tellus, the largest collaborative cross-border programme of geoscience surveys ever undertaken on the island of Ireland. Tellus is a concerted cross-border investment in the terrestrial geosciences, intended both to stimulate exploration for natural resources and to generate essential data for environmental management. A huge volume of geoscientific data has already been produced and analysed by researchers in Ireland, the UK and beyond. Initiated by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland, the Geological Survey of Ireland and the British Geological Survey, the project teams engaged widely with the academic community, industry, government, elected representatives, the general public and schools. Under the direction of the Geological Survey of Ireland, further phases of the Tellus programme are now steadily extending the surveys southward to cover the whole island. In this book, scientists who have worked with the Tellus data reflect on the outputs and impacts in terms of the economy, the environment, energy, agriculture and ecology.

Geology in History
| 
| In this book the European Geological Surveys are pleased to present some examples highlighting the links between History and Geology. Most of them are related to mineral resources which constitute the basement of the development of mankind. Nevertheless, other topics are addressed as problems of access to drinking water in Austria, or the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. Indeed groundwater or geohazards constitute natural extensions of the geological surveys traditional activities.

Geochemical Atlas of Europe Vol 1
| 
| The “Geochemical Atlas of Europe” is the contribution of the Association of Geological Surveys of the European Union (EuroGeoSurveys) to the IUGS/IAGC “Global Geochemical Baselines” project. The Geochemical Atlas of Europe comes in 2 volumes (each sold seperately) The European geochemical baseline survey covers 26 countries, and provides invaluable information about the natural and human-induced concentrations of chemical elements in different sample media of the near-surface environment (topsoil, subsoil, humus, stream sediment, stream water and floodplain sediment). This is the first multi-national project, performed with a harmonised sampling, sample preparation, and analytical methodology, producing high quality compatible data sets across national borders. Over 60 determinands were analysed, most for total and aqua regia extractable concentrations. The first phase of the project was completed, and the results published in a two-volume set, which is also freely available for viewing and downloading from www.gtk.fi/publ/foregsatlas together with the analytical data and photograph archive. The geochemical field manual can also be downloaded from www.gtk.fi/foregs/geochem/fieldman.pdf.

Written in Stone DVD
| 
| The Written in Stone television series was commissioned by GSI and aired on RTE in 1995 and again in 2006. The DVD was produced as part of GSI's celebration of 150 years in existence. The DVD describes the geology of Ireland, beautifully illustrated and explained by one of Ireland's most renowned experts and greatest communicators in earth science, Dr.Pádhraig Kennan. For most people, the earliest forms of civilisation are the first pages of history. From the geological perspective, they are the last . "Written in Stone" traces the 4,500 million years of geological history of this planet, and recounts those events with particular reference to Ireland - the very rocks that make up the spectacular Irish Landscape. |

A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits (Walking Guide)
| 
| In Ireland there are 269 mountain summits that are 600 metres or higher, and with a prominence of 15 metres or more. These are The Vandeleur-Lynams. And there are 404 summits with an elevation of at least 500 metres, with a prominence of 30 metres or more. We call these The Arderins. For the first time both these lists are published together, along with lists of Ireland’s 27 County Highpoints and the island’s Hundred Highest mountains, using updated data and information as contributed by the MountainViews.ie community. This book will undoubtedly prove to be an invaluable resource for the peak-bagger, summiteer and hillwalker alike.

East of Ireland Walks River and Canal (Walking Guide)
| 
| River and canal walks can have special appeal, the scenery always changing due to flowing water, weirs, locks and the changing countryside. Ireland's rivers and canals are rich in wildlife, history and folklore, and many can be explored on mostly flat, little-used trails. These hidden corridors of wildness through rural and urban Ireland reveal remnants of a time when trade, transport and industry in Ireland revolved around water rather than roads. Lenny Antonelli introduces some of the best river and canal trails in the east and east midlands, from short strolls to a five-day trek along the Barrow. These walks encompass iconic Irish rivers such as the Liffey, the Boyne and the Nore; and waterways such as the Grand and Royal Canals. There are lesser-known trails here too, from ravines in the Slieve Bloom Mountains to the young rivers of Wicklow's deep wooded valleys. For those new to walking, these trails form easy introductions. For experienced walkers, they provide new and less-trodden paths through places of unexpected beauty. • Also available: 'Dublin & Wicklow: A Walking Guide' by Helen Fairbairn
