This transgression lead to the flooding of mid-Holocene forested landscapes along the western seaboard of the country. Carbon 14 dating of in situ tree stumps set in peat from these forests shows a span of dates from approximately 7400 to 5200 years cal. BP from counties Mayo, Galway and Clare. Peat deposits of up to 2m thickness formed during this time. These dates firstly show that these forests were long-lived features of the Irish landscape. Secondly their presence suggests that at this time sea level was probably lower than that suggested in glacial rebound models for the area. Thirdly the general absence in these peats of evidence of marine incursion confirms that the Holocene highstand did not occur along the central part of the western Irish seaboard, unlike in areas along the north and east coasts of the country.","PeriodicalId":35911,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45573269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the existing data are disparate in nature, having been produced by a range of studies employing different methodologies and often not specifically concerned with sea-level reconstruction. Consequently, there are large spatial and temporal gaps in our understanding of RSL changes, whilst other data are ambiguous and prone to misinterpretation. This paper presents a new database of sea-level information extracted from existing publications. Data are screened and classified into one of four groups according to their utility as indicators of RSL change. This objective classification, based upon well-established sea-level methodology, permits researchers to readily identify the most reliable trends in the available information, and helps to discriminate potentially erroneous data. The database is freely available on-line and should prove a valuable resource to researchers working in coastal environments around Ireland. It will be updated as new information becomes available, ensuring maximum value is extracted from the collection of new sea-level data and highlighting areas where more work is urgently needed.","PeriodicalId":35911,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42119978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flow indicators, including erratic carriage and the dip direction of rock rafts, glaciotectonic shears and outwash sediments, show that Sperrin ice advanced from north to south into terrain that had been vacated by Omagh Basin ice, which then readvanced following Sperrin ice retreat. This geomorphic and sedimentary evidence suggests that Sperrin ice was active during early deglacial stages and that oscillations of its ice margin were not synchronous with oscillations of Omagh Basin ice. Changes in climate and ice mass balance may have controlled ice mass activity.","PeriodicalId":35911,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47840090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Volcanic arc rocks of the Lough Nafooey Group are unconformably overlain by late Floian mudrocks that were deposited after the cessation of volcanic activity and which did not receive any detritus from the Lough Nafooey arc. The unconformably overlying Darriwillian Rosroe Formation is similar in character to areas immediately to the west and north-east and shows a coarsening upward pattern. A south dipping Silurian succession everywhere masks the contact between the Lough Nafooey Group and the metamorphic rocks of Connemara. The Silurian succession shows progressive deepening from terrestrial sediments at the base to deep-water turbidites in the youngest strata seen. There are also important provenance changes throughout the Silurian succession. A widespread alkaline lava near the base is the only thick volcanic horizon seen in the succession. The structural geometry suggests that two large fault features (the Doon Rock and Clonbur faults) acted as a linked system during sedimentation and may have produced a point source for a clastic sediment fan of latest Ordovician or early Silurian age. This feature, termed the Derryveeny fan, contains coarse-grained metamorphic detritus from erosion of Connemara further to the south. A marked strike swing of the Silurian strata is attributed to post-Wenlock SSE directed contraction with reverse reactivation of the Derry Bay and Lettereeneen faults and associated deformation of their respective footwalls.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons attribution license, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Extensive abraded rock surfaces show clear evidence for ice overtopping of the islands. Erosional landforms include striae, flutes developed in bedrock, whalebacks, roches mountonnées and meltwater channels. Depositional landforms include erratic boulders and a single marginal moraine on Aran Island. Glacial or glacially-influenced sediment deposition that does not have a geomorphic expression took place into bedrock hollows during an ice advance stage, probably around the time of the last glacial maximum. The dominance of erosional signatures likely reflects the stripping by ice of a surficial cover of weathered pre-glacial granite debris. The general absence of subglacial and ice-marginal sediments across the region likely reflects the granite substrate and coarse granitic weathering products, which did not favour development of a thick deformable sediment pile.","PeriodicalId":35911,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45821530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
