Welcome to Issue No. 9 of Geology Matters, the Newsletter of the Geological Survey of Ireland.

In this issue Ronnie Creighton provides a brief overview of a well-attended workshop in GSI recently about Landslides in Ireland. As if to herald the diversity of the work that GSI is involved in, a completely unrelated event held in GSI around the same time – the school’s essay competition awards ceremony – is discussed by Enda Gallagher. The Director’s Discourse provides an informative view of an increasingly pertinent topic – Carbon Capture and Storage, and it provides a timely reminder of a forthcoming conference detailed in the "Diary Dates" section. The INFOMAR programme continues to impress in terms of its range of activity and Enda Gallagher provides an update. Issue No. 9 provides brief information on several other GSI projects, products or innovations.

We hope you enjoy this jam-packed edition of Geology Matters.
