Geological Survey Ireland produces maps, reports and databases, and acts as a knowledge centre and project partner in a number of aspects of Irish geology. [ 3 ] The organisation managed the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS, 1999–2005), which on completion was the world's largest civilian marine mapping programme.
Bedrock geological map of Ireland. Layers of Upper Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, Loop Head, County Clare. The geology of Ireland consists of the study of the rock formations on the island of Ireland. It includes rocks from every age from Proterozoic to Holocene and a large variety of different rock types is represented.
Geological map of the Hebridean terrane showing distribution of rocks of the Lewisian complex Undeformed Scourie dyke cutting Lewisian Gneiss, about 1.6 km west of Scourie Scourie dykes (now foliated amphibolites) cutting grey gneiss of the Scourie complex, both deformed during the Laxfordian tectonic event and cut by later (unfoliated) granite veins - road cutting on the A838 just north of ...
OneGeology is an international collaborative project in the field of geology supported by 118 countries, UNESCO, and major global geoscience bodies.It is an International Year of Planet Earth flagship initiative that aims to enable online access to dynamic digital geological map of the world for everyone.
Geologic map of North America. The geology of North America is a subject of regional geology and covers the North American continent, the third-largest in the world. Geologic units and processes are investigated on a large scale to reach a synthesized picture of the geological development of the continent. The divisions of regional geology are ...
Digital geologic mapping is the process by which geological features are observed, analyzed, and recorded in the field and displayed in real-time on a computer or personal digital assistant (PDA). The primary function of this emerging technology is to produce spatially referenced geologic maps that can be utilized and updated while conducting ...
The International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO), one of the thirteen International Science Olympiads, is an annual competition for secondary school students that tests their abilities in disciplines such as geology, meteorology, environmental science, and terrestrial astronomy. Students who are winners of the respective national competitions ...
The 22 maps of the Geological Atlas of the World were co-published by CGMW and UNESCO from 1974 to 1984. In January 1983, the wall map concept of the Geological Map of the World was revived at the UNESCO G.A. [10] and the 1st edition at 1:25M scale was published in 1990. For the first time, continental geology was shown, alongside ocean geology ...
