Website Description
Geological Survey of Ireland: Center for Knowledge of the Earth's Crust and Natural Resources
Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) is Ireland's official national geoscience centre, collecting, analyzing and disseminating data on the country's underground structures. gsi.ie is a key information portal for researchers, engineers, teachers, students and anyone interested in the geology and natural resources of Ireland.
Main areas of activity
The Geological Survey of Ireland is actively involved in the following key topics:
- Climate changes - study of the influence of climate processes on geosystems and the earth’s crust.
- Construction and Engineering - providing soil, subsurface and geotechnical data for construction projects.
- Energy - analysis of the potential of renewable energy sources, including geothermal energy.
- Environmental protection - monitoring the condition of soil, water and underground resources to protect ecosystems.
- Geology and Heritage - documenting unique geological formations and identifying geological heritage sites.
- Marine and coastal research - study of the seabed, coastal landscapes and marine natural resources.
- Natural hazards - assessing the risks of earthquakes, landslides, floods and other natural disasters.
- Water Resources - collection and analysis of data on groundwater, its quality and sustainable use.
Data and cartography
Extensive datasets and interactive maps are available on the site, including:
- Bedrock structures
- Chemical composition of rocks (Geochemistry)
- Geoenergy resources
- Geohazards assessment
- Information about geological heritage
- Methods of geophysics and geotechnics
- Groundwater
- Mineralogy and ore deposits
- Data for the Quaternary period
Users can view data through online viewers, obtain maps in a variety of formats, and use them for scientific, engineering, or educational purposes.
Programs and research
GSI is implementing a number of strategic programs aimed at developing geoscience in the country. Among them:
- Geothermal energy - the study of the potential for using heat from the depths of the Earth.
- Geohazards - monitoring and forecasting of natural hazards.
- Geological mapping - creating up-to-date geological maps of all of Ireland.
- The “Geoscience Ireland” project is a comprehensive study of the country’s geology.
- Groundwater - a system for collecting data on the quality and quantity of groundwater.
- Marine and coastal units - studies in the coastal zone and seabed.
- Minerals and resources - analysis of mineral reserves.
- Urban development and planning - assistance in the development of construction projects based on geological data.
- Tellus is a large-scale program to map Ireland in detail using modern technology.
- Urban geology - the study of the geological environment of urban areas.
Education and publications
GSI is active in the field of education, especially for teachers and schoolchildren. In particular, the service, together with iCRAG (Irish Center for Research in Applied Geosciences), has released new educational materials for teaching geology in schools at the Leaving Certificate level - an Irish exam after 16 years of study.
In the section "Education" materials are available on:
- What is geology?
- Geology of Ireland
- Geology of your district
- Natural hazards
- Rocks, minerals and gems
- Earth resources
- Water on Earth
- Career of a geospecialist
- Glossary of terms
Also on the site you can find scientific publications: books, brochures, fact sheets, groundwater bulletins, GSI newsletters, magazines and cartographic materials.
