The talk will be given by Paul Lyle and will be linked to Paul’s new book: GeoHibernica: The Irish Landscapes, Peoples, and Cultures, which explores the profound relationship between Ireland’s diverse geological foundations and the societies that have shaped—and been shaped by—its landscape over millennia.
