As part of our ongoing digitisation efforts, we are happy to report that most of our field guides, including those out of print, are now available for purchase and download in low cost .pdf format. All .pdfs have been made text-searchable.
Additionally, the sites visited for each fieldguide have been mapped using the Google Earth software and these maps are accessible following the individual links below (“Map Links” collumn – opens in a new browser tab). You can also download the individual .kmz files (“Download .kmz Files” column) to use directly in Google Earth (note: the files will open in zipped format). We also provide here a single .kmz file that maps all fieldguide sites up to 2015 (current version date 01 Oct 2015).

The Wicklow in the Grip of an Ice Age – A Self-Guided Tour of the Evidence of an Ice Age in Wicklow is hosted on the excellent Our Wicklow Heritage website, developed by the Wicklow Heritage Forum as an action of the County Wicklow Heritage plan (click here for the tour webpage). The Virtual Tour retraces the May 2012 IQUA field trip to Wicklow, led by Profs. Pete Coxon, Fraser Mitchell and Patrick Wyse Jackson, which took place as part of the Dublin City of Science 2012. The Virtual Tour locates and describes each of the key stops on the trip, with references to the IQUA field guide companion to the trip, which is available to buy in print for just €7 from the table below.
Finally, the 14 fielguides compiled for the INQUA fieldtrips run in Ireland in the summer of 2019 are all available for purchase below. A package deal of all 14 for €80 is available by clicking on the link below :
