Great day out in West Cork with ⁦CorkGeologicalAssociation⁩ and Tracton Biodiversity Group ⁦Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC⁩ ⁦Geological Survey IE⁩ discussing palaeo-ecology

The project was funded by the UK Government and utilised both BGS and Royal Navy bathymetry (depth), backscatter (seabed composition), ground-truth sampling (underwater video footage) and many other derived data layers to create the suite of bespoke geological outputs.

Lunch stop in the sun, at the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary, Middle Lake, Killarney, looking across at Torc Mountain. Thanks to leader Dr. Aidan Forde. ⁦Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC⁩ ⁦Geological Survey IE⁩
