You
may remember a low-flying aircraft, making multiple passes over
Kilcullen a few years ago. This aircraft was collecting various forms of
geophysical data about the ground surface as part of the Geological
Survey of Ireland's Tellus
survey. The aerial part of this survey involved scanning the ground,
using onboard instrumentation and measured several properties including
the magnetic field, radioactivity and electrical conductivity of the
Earth’s near surface. A lot of this data, including results from
ground-based geochemical surveying of soil, stream water and stream
sediment is now available in interactive map form.
