LITERATURE REVIEW OF CONDITIONING AND TRIGGERING FACTORS IN PEAT FAILURES
Keywords: Peat stability, peat failure, blanket bog, hydrology, ecology, conditioning, and triggering
factors.
MAIN FACTORS CONSIDERED TO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THREE MAJOR PEAT FAILURES IN 2020
Keywords: landslide, bogflow, bog slide, upland blanket peat, Ireland, forestry, rainfall.
Overview: Task 2 and 3 of the project involves a review of available data to determine the key contributory factors to three major landslides (peat failures) in upland blanket bog and afforested upland blanket bog that occurred in Ireland in 2020.
POTENTIAL TO UPDATE NATIONAL LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP
Keywords: Landslide, Peat failure, blanket bog, susceptibility, land use, human activity, Meenbog, Shass
Mountain, Mount Eagle
Task 4 of the project involves an assessment of the potential to update the National Landslide Susceptibility Map using data collated and analysed in this project. Review and assess whether areas of peatland within the study areas of this project, currently mapped as low to moderate susceptibility on the National Landslide Susceptibility Map, are likely to have a higher classification of susceptibility to landslides.
TECHNICAL NOTE: DATA GAPS RELATED TO IMPACT ASSESSMENTS AND PLANNING
Keywords: EIAR, Blanket bog, Peat Stability, Ecosystem functioning, Hydrology/Hydrogeology
Task 5 of the project involves the identification of data gaps (with respect to peatland landslides and peat stability) related to impact assessments and planning associated with infrastructure developments and land use changes.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY NOTE: IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF LAND USE CHANGES ON PEAT STABILITY ON BLANKET BOG/PEATLAND HABITATS
Keywords: Blanket bog, peat failure, land-use
Task 6 of the project involves the assessment of potential impacts of land use changes on key
blanket bog features and properties, and directly or indirectly on peat stability
PROJECT SUMMARY REPORT
Keywords: Landslide, bog flow, bog slide, Peat stability, Peat failure, Bogs, blanket peat, conditioning and
triggering factors, rainfall
Task 7 of the project involves the preparation of an overarching report detailing the findings of the literature review, methods, results discussion, conclusions, and recommendations of the study.
