  • The geomorphology of Ireland’s continental shelf

    Open AccessRiccardo Arosio, Amanda J Wheeler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2023

    The Irish Shelf Seabed Geomorphological Map (ISSGM) (v2023) presented here, is the first high-resolution geomorphological map of the entire Irish continental shelf. This large-scale mapping exercise took advantage of the vast INFOMAR multibeam echosounder dataset, and used a protocol of semi-automated mapping techniques to accurately and rapidly extract seabed features. All previous mapping efforts and existing literature on the Irish shallow she…

  • Spatial and temporal variability in geomorphic change at tidally influenced shipwreck sites

    Open AccessJan Majcher, R Quinn et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2021Cited by: 5References: 15

    Shipwrecks are an integral part of our maritime archaeological landscape and are associated with diverse societal and cultural interests, yielding significant management challenges. Coupled hydrodynamic and geomorphological processes significantly impact the effective in situ preservation of these fragile sites. In this study, we assess sediment budget change and hydrodynamic triggers at metal‐hulled shipwrecks lost between 1875 and 1918, all loc…

  • Geomorphology and substrate of Galway Bay, Western Ireland

    Open AccessDenise McCullagh, Sara Benetti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2020

    A combination of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter, LiDAR altimetry and bathymetry, satellite images, and hydrodynamic model outputs were used to map the seafloor and coastline of Galway Bay (western Ireland). This is the first time these multiple datasets have been integrated into a single combined geomorphological and substrate map. The substrate of the bay is predominantly mud and sand with bedrock outcropping extensively around the coastli…

  • Bedforms on the northwest Irish Shelf

    Open AccessWill Evans, Sara Benetti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2015

    Recent mapping programmes in Irish territorial waters, such as the Irish National Seabed Survey and the Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resource programme, have generated high resolution multibeam bathymetry, backscatter and sediment sample datasets at an unprecedented resolution and coverage. Building upon previous mapping of glacial landforms on the northwest Irish continental shelf, a 1:225,000 scale map …

  • Geomorphology of the Irish Rockall Trough, North Atlantic Ocean, mapped from multibeam bathymetric and backscatter Data

    Open AccessFabio Sacchetti, Sara Benetti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2011

    Please click here to download the map associated with this article. Multibeam echosounder data collected by the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) between 2000 and 2001 in the Rockall Trough have been used by many projects to analyze the geomorphology and the sedimentary processes of the margins of the Trough. However, due to the low spatial resolution of 150–250 m and the amount of artefacts still embedded in the publicly available data, many g…
