The Coastal Atlas of Ireland

John Simpson is represented in this remarkable book, with some writing and artworks as a painter on the Wild Atlantic coast of West Cork.

Visually stunning, accessible and an academic tour de force, this Atlas will resonate with everybody who has a connection to Ireland and anybody interested in the Irish coast.

The Coastal Atlas of Ireland is published by Cork University Press in 2021 and aims to fill this gap by looking at the coastline of the entire island of Ireland as a whole, from the physical, human and environmental perspectives.

The Atlas will contribute towards the dissemination and outreach of scientific knowledge about the coasts of Ireland and of the processes that are shaping them, to the broader public, government and decision makers. The Atlas is relevant globally, to all those that are interested in coastal matters and the work is not just about Ireland, but Ireland, as an analogue for many of the world’s coasts.
