This report covers the area of the Irish Sea between the North Channel and St George's Channel. A wide range of geological features are studied. For example, the channel is thought to contain rocks from the geological systems, ranging from the Precambrian schists and gneisses to Cretaceous chalk and Paleogene basalts. Offshore, Carboniferous and permo-Triassic strata dominate, and have considerable economic interest. The Carboniferous rocks contain coal and advances in technology may renew commercial interest offshore. The report also provides insights into sedimentary processes at work in the Irish Sea. The adjacent land areas include a number of major conurbations, all of which discharge effluent into the sea.

Intended to complement the 1:250 000 scale Hydrogeology Map of Northern Ireland, this work provides an understanding of the hydrogeology of Northern Ireland and through this the enhanced production and development of groundwater resources. Incorporated within it are the results of most of the hydrogeological work undertaken both by the BGS and the GSNI in the area, including the BGS hydrogeological work undertaken both by the BGS hydrogeological survey carried out for the Environmental Service of the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland between 1992 and 1994.
