The aims of this project were to identify and map landslide occurences in the Bréifne area in norwth-west Ireland; to proue a landslide susceptibility map using GIS; and to test a first approach for a methodology for systematic landslide mapping for the whole of Ireland. The methodology used to derive the final susceibility maps was compiled from several literature examples (Santacana et a l. 2003, Tangestani 2003, Morton et al. 2003). Due to the large extent of the study area (2129.7 km2) and the short length of time available for fieldwork (les than one month), mapping was mainly based on remote sensing techniques such as satellite imagery, aerial photography and orthophotograhy analysis. All these datasets were combined with igital elevation models (DEMs) to facilitate identifiation and classification of landslide events.
