fWotD Episode 2873: Geography of Ireland Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 17 March 2025 is Geography of Ireland.Ireland is an island in Northern Europe in the north Atlantic Ocean. The island, of up to around 480 km (300 mi) north-south, and 275 km (171 mi) east-west, lies near the western edge of the European continental shelf, part of the Eurasian Plate. Its main geographical features include low central plains surrounded by coastal mountains. The highest peak is Carrauntoohil (Irish: Corrán Tuathail), which is 1,039 metres (3,409 ft) above sea level. The western coastline is rugged, with many islands, peninsulas, headlands and bays, while the southern and northern coasts feature a smaller number of substantial sea inlets, such as Lough Foyle and Cork Harbour; no part of the land is more than around 110 km (68 mi) from the sea. It was administratively divided into 32 counties, gathered in 4 provinces, though current arrangements, especially in Northern Ireland, differ from this model. The island is almost bisected by the River Shannon, which at 360.5 km (224 mi) with a 102.1 km (63 mi) estuary is the longest river in Ireland and flows south from County Cavan in the province of Ulster to form the boundary between Connacht and Leinster, and later Munster, and meet the Atlantic just south and west of Limerick. There are a number of sizeable lakes along Ireland's rivers, of which Lough Neagh is the largest.Politically, the island consists of the Republic of Ireland, with jurisdiction over about five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a constituent part of the United Kingdom, with jurisdiction over the remaining sixth. Located west of the island of Great Britain, Ireland lies at approximately 53°N 8°W. It has a total area of 84,421 km2 (32,595 sq mi) and is separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea, bounded to the north and south respectively by the North Channel and St George's Channel, and from mainland Europe by the Celtic Sea. Ireland forms the second largest landmass in the British Isles, together with Great Britain and the Isle of Man.The island has a temperate oceanic climate, mild and humid, and is warmer than other landmasses at the same latitude due to its position vis-a-vis the winds on the Atlantic Ocean, and ocean currents and circulations. The island is one of the least forested areas in Europe, though afforestation is growing, but has a strong agricultural sector. It has a limited range of mineral resources, and has only had two major gas finds, and none in the oil sector. Hydroelectric energy is actively used, and wind farms are extending; neither solar nor tidal energy is as yet much exploited.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:36 UTC on Monday, 17 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Geography of Ireland on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) is hosting its annual science festival with a Celtic Halloween twist - Samhain agus Science. The festival brings together researchers from DIAS and around the world to make the scientific questions of our time and that of Celtic history relevant, accessible, and fun. During the festival, researchers will explore everything from black holes to spooky space weather, how space spooks your skeleton, the whispering fin whales who sing off our coasts and Christian curses in medieval Ireland. Beginning Wednesday, 30 October, 'Samhain agus Science' will run until 12 November. All events are free, geared for a general audience, and will take place at 7 pm in DIAS HQ, 10 Burlington Road with one event (12 Nov) in DIAS Geophysics 5 Merrion Square. To register your attendance and book your place, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/samhain-agus-science-2024-3749889. Speaking about the annual event, Dr Eucharia Meehan, CEO and Registrar of DIAS, said: "This is such a unique festival bringing together our three schools of research - Celtic Studies, Theoretical Physics and Cosmic physics - capturing both the eerie strangeness of the universe and that of our own medieval past". Samhain Agus Science 2024 Programme of Events: 30 Oct: Primordial mountains and dancing giants: black holes in cosmic history. Dr Syksy Räsänen, Senior Researcher, Theoretical Physics, University of Helsinki, will discuss the regions of space that are possible to enter but which you can never leave. Expect to learn about time travel, dark matter and the formation of galaxies. 4 Nov: Spooky Space Weather and the Halloween Storm Dr Alexandra Ruth Fogg, Space Scientist at Dunsink Observatory (DIAS) will discuss the "winds", "storms" and "rains" on earth which are caused by Space Weather. She will explore the famous Halloween space weather storm of 2003 and its impacts on human technology, the Northern and Southern lights, and images of the aurora as seen from Ireland. 5 Nov: Christian Curses in Medieval Ireland Dr Jesse Patrick Harrington, research fellow at the School of Celtic Studies (DIAS) will delve into the rich traditions of Christian curses and their associated beliefs in medieval Europe and Ireland. Exploring why many of Ireland's most prominent saints, including St. Patrick, St. Adomnán of Iona, and Dublin's patron St. Lorcán Ó Tuathail, were celebrated or feared as champion cursers. 7 Nov: How Space Spooks Your Skeleton Dr Lisa McNamee, a medical doctor with a special interest in aviation and space medicine, will share the impacts of the "alien" space environment on the human skeleton, how the body adapts and the learnings which can help us live more healthily on earth. Lisa is a nominee for the Women in STEM Rising Star Award 2024. 12 Nov: Fin Whale Whispers Beneath Your Feet Dr Martin Möllhoff, Director of Seismic Networks (DIAS Geophysics), will be discussing Fin whales - the second largest animal on earth - who produce one of the loudest vocalisations. Martin will reveal how, in some coastal regions, whale song vibrations can be recorded with low-cost citizen science seismometers, helping encourage engagement with our marine environment and giving vital information on migration patterns and climate change.
