SOUTH COAST OF IRELAND – SEPTEMBER 2015

In 2015 the QRA teamed up with IQUA to explore the south coast of Ireland between the 25th and 29th of September. We visited classic sections in Blackwater Harbour, Ely House, Kilmore Quay, Bannow, Courtmacsherry and Howes Strand.

We looked at the remains of a pingo, corries and a cave with new excavation of Pleistocene layers. We heard about deglaciation, peat initiation and vegetation change. We wandered through a Viking town and found out about the reconstruction of its environments thanks to insect analysis. We even cored an interglacial deposit. The original booking and information form is archived here.
