Quaternary Geomorphology Deglacial Landforms

This Dataset is a complete coverage of mapped and digitised ice-marginal deglacial landforms for Ireland. This Dataset forms part of the Quaternary geology of Ireland — Geomorphology Map which is a representation of Irish glacial geomorphological features at a scale of 1 to 50,000. The map shows categorised erratic carriage sources and sinks, subglacial lineations and striae, subglacial moraines, ice-marginal landforms and mountain glaciation corries and trimlines. The Geomorphology Dataset Originally comprised individual feature layers that were subsequently merged into 9 sub-groups. Deglacial Landforms is one of the subgroups.The Deglacial Landforms data layer is comprised of the following geomorphological features: 1) deltas; 2) Fans; 3)Adoptiofluvial Terraces; 4) Hummocky Moraines; 5) Hummocky Sand and Gravels; 6) Kame Terraces; 7) Moraine Ridges.Data recorded on the map includes the location and outline of the following geomorphological features: 1) Deltas: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised locations of delta sediment bodies for Ireland including name of the landform, background data source and a reference to previous work completed on the feature. 2) Fans: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised fan features for Ireland including name of the landform and background data source. 3)Adoptiofluvial Terraces: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised glaciofluvial terraces for Ireland including the name of the river system they are associated with and background data source.4) Hummocky Moraines: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised hummocky moraine (non-stratified) features for Ireland including background data source and a reference to previous work completed on the feature. 5) Hummocky Sand and Gravels: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised hummocky sand and gravel features for Ireland including background data source. 6) Kame Terraces: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised locations of Kame Terraces including name of the landform, background data source and a reference to previous work completed on the feature.7) Moraine Ridges: — Complete coverage for all mapped and digitised locations of Moraine Ridges for Ireland including background data source.
