Coastal Bedrock Geology

The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) was commissioned to produce a Northern Ireland wide coastal geological dataset, detailing the bedrock geology.GSNI used the 1;10,000 digital bedrock geology map to create a coastal dataset which extends inland 200 meters and out to a seaward depth of approx. 10 metres, matching the extend of the Northern Ireland 3-Dimensional Coastal Survey. This involved refinement of the existing 1;10,000 map where signification coastal change has occurred since the original survey. Where gaps existed, unpublished datasets were used.
