GDG are leading an EU-funded project to evaluate the potential deep geothermal resources in two European urban areas. The GEO-URBAN project team met earlier this week in Dublin City Hall to discuss the preliminary results of the multi-disciplinary geophysical surveys that are ongoing in Dublin city and Vallès, Catalonia, Spain. The aim of the project is to improve the understanding of subsurface geological structures and establish a commercial roadmap for the use of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source for homes and businesses in these urban areas. 

Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) have been commissioned by Wicklow County Council to conduct a maritime strategic review for the coastal area of Co. Wicklow. 

Landslides and natural hazards represent a significant risk to the public in many countries around the world – to mitigate the impacts from these events, requires careful planning, engineering and management.

GDG would like to congratulate Mark Coughlan, GDG Principal Geoscientist and iCRAG researcher, on the publication of an impressive paper on the stratigraphy of the Irish Sea. This study utilizes a combination of publically available geophysical seismic data (gathered as part of the INFOMAR programme) and geotechnical information to develop a ground model of the Quaternary geology in the North Irish Sea.

GDG are leading a multinational European research initiative funded through the European Commission ERA-NET co-fund Geothermica.
