Produced by Teagasc (Kinsealy), EPA and GSI. A national dataset of soils was required to assist in implementing the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) River Basin Management Plans. It identifies and maps soils in the Republic of Ireland by parent material. GIS Team Environmental Protection Agency +353-53-9160600 +353-53-9160601 PO Box 3000 Johnstown Castle Estate Wexford Co.

A spot height may be expressed as AOD for "above ordnance datum". Usually mean sea level (MSL) is used for the datum. Malin Ordnance Datum Derivation of vertical height or depth (in metres) In the Republic of Ireland, OD for the Ordnance Survey of Ireland is Malin Ordnance Datum: the Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Portmoor Pier, Malin Head, County Donegal, between 1960 and 1969. 5731 EPSG Projection 5731 - Malin Head height Metres Derivation of Altitude OD based on Mean Sea Level, Malin Head 1960-1969 ESRI Shapefile 10.x GIS Team Environmental Protection Agency +353-53-9160600 +353-53-9160601 PO Box 3000 Johnstown Castle Estate Wexford Co.

Key soil forming factors such as vegetation (landcover), topography and geology (parent material) were mapped and a set of rules were applied to these datasets to predict the soils that may occur at any given location in the landscape. These maps were then combined to create a predicted model of soil occurrence. Combination of these inputs provided for a modelled output of predicted soils, with this model output termed Level 1. The model was then extended to a Level 2 predictive model which incorporated topographical variables, previously mapped soil data and other geologically based variables such as subsoil permeability, which increased map accuracy. Predictions are based on expert judgement in combination with pre-existing, mapped data (National Soil Survey (NSS) 1959-1980's at 1:126720; General Soil Map of Ireland, 1969 and 1980 at 1:575,000, Peatland map 1978). Both GIS and remote sensing technologies were used in the process. The OSI 20m DTM was used as part of the topographic analysis. A soil series is generally named after the locality where it was first identified and the soils that it represents are best expressed.
