The Geology of Ireland is about the island of Ireland as a physical whole and includes chapters on marine geology and the history of geology in Ireland. The text is intended for professional geologists and students of geology.
The Geology of Ireland is the definitive guide to the geology of the whole island of Ireland. This completely revised second edition has been updated to reflect the ten years of research undertaken since the last edition was published. For the first time, the work is presented with color illustrations. It presents the geology of the island in geological sequence and deals also with the economically important offshore geology of Ireland.
Intended to complement the 1:250 000 scale Hydrogeology Map of Northern Ireland, this work provides an understanding of the hydrogeology of Northern Ireland and through this the enhanced production and development of groundwater resources. Incorporated within it are the results of most of the hydrogeological work undertaken both by the BGS and the GSNI in the area, including the BGS hydrogeological work undertaken both by the BGS hydrogeological survey carried out for the Environmental Service of the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland between 1992 and 1994.
Britain and Ireland have a remarkably varied geology for so small a fragment of continental crust, with a fine rock record back through three billion years of geological time. This history would have been interesting enough if it had been played out on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain and Ireland have developed at a tectonic crossroads, on crust once traversed by subduction zones and volcanic arcs, continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexity is instructive, fascinating and perplexing. Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells the region's story at a level accessible to undergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates, professionals or informed amateurs. This second edition is fully revised and updated, reflecting our continually developing knowledge of the region's geology. Full coverage is again given to the rich Precambrian and Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events more relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is an essential starting point for more detailed studies of the regional geology. Additional resources for this book can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/woodcock/geologicalhistory
'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 MBEBetween 2004 and 2013, e15 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. 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.
