Using a GIS to map a wetland in Shannon by carrying out a new GPS survey of the wetland as well as the roads and pathways in the area and so providing maps which could be freely printed or placed on the web without continued payments to Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSi).
Weekly survey of monuments (one afternoon per week) in the area of Shannon, Co. Clare and the use of GPS and GIS to advance methods of quickly recording outlines of monuments, their three-dimensional topography and that of the surrounding landscape (on DEMs).
Advising a consultancy (at the scoping stage) on the route that a new cable should take to avoid archaeological monuments and clusters of monuments (possible archaeological complexes).
