INtegrated Mapping FOr the Sustainable Development of Ireland's MArine Resource (INFOMAR). 

INFOMAR is a programme funded by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and delivered by joint management partners the Geological Survey Ireland and the Marine Institute. The programme aims to survey our unmapped marine territory and create a range of integrated mapping products of the physical, chemical and biological features of the Irish seabed.

Climate, Heritage and Environments of Reefs, Islands and Headlands (CHERISH) 

CHERISH is an interdisciplinary Ireland-Wales project between the Geological Survey Ireland, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, the Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland, and Aberystwyth University: Department of Geography and Earth Sciences. CHERISH aims to raise awareness and understanding of the past, present and near future impacts of climate change, storminess and extreme weather events on the rich cultural heritage of the Irish and Welsh regional seas and coast.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet)

EMODnet  is a network of organisations supported by the EU's integrated maritime policy. These organisations work together to observe the sea, process the data according to international standards and make that information freely available as interoperable data layers and data products. The EMODnet Bathymetry portal provides a service for viewing and downloading a harmonised Digital Terrain Model (DTM) in high resolution for the European sea regions. Geological Survey Ireland is a key partner responsible for generating bathymetric data sets for the Irish Sea regions.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet)

EMODnet is a network of organisations supported by the EU's integrated maritime policy. These organisations work together to observe the sea, process the data according to international standards and make that information freely available as interoperable data layers and data products. The EMODnet Geology portal consolidates European offshore data including seafloor geology, seabed substrates, rates of coastline migration, geological events and probabilities and mineral resources. Geological Survey Ireland is a key partner and is project coordinator on the Minerals work package.

Seabed MINerals Deposits in European SEAs: Metallogeny and Geological Potential for Strategic and Critical Raw Materials (MINDeSEA) is part of a research programme called GeoERA establishing the European Geological Surveys Research Area to deliver a Geological Service for Europe. MINDeSEA involves collaboration across twelve geological surveys working towards exploration and investigation of seafloor mineral deposits.  The project is exploring the origin and distribution of mineral deposits in European seas; with emphasis on their relationship in space and time to regional features of the Earth's crust.  This project aims to evaluate the potential uses of strategic metals and critical raw materials necessary to support the raw materials industrial needs of modern society. Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) is a Work Package (WP) leader in this project with the Coastal and Marine Unit (MCU) supporting the MINDeSEA link to the GeoERA Information Platform.

​The Coastal Erosion Project is a project within the Science for Society challenge of the 5th Earth Observation Envelope Programme (EOEP-5) run by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The scope of the ESA Coastal Erosion project is the development & demonstration of innovative Earth Observation (EO) products founding the basis for long-term exploitation of earth observation from satellites by large user communities. These applications aim to detect and track coastal erosion and accretion to inform coastal management plans.

​Ireland, Northern Ireland Scotland Hydrographic Survey (INISHydro) brought together seven partners from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland to generate high-resolution bathymetric charts of 1400 km2 of key coastal seabed areas.
