Advice for Researchers
The WHS Research Advisory Group welcomes research at the WHS and aims to ensure that research activities support the management and conservation objectives outlined within the Giant’s Causeway WHS Management Plan 2021-2027.
To assist researchers we have compiled a bibliography listing research which has been conducted at the Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast at the World Heritage Site. This bibliography covers multiple disciplines including geology, tourism and climate change, is arranged chronologically with the most recent research first and will be updated annually.

We have also a produced a set of guidelines for researchers conducting their researcher within the boundaries of the World Heritage Site and the Distinctive Landscape Steering. Researchers are strongly encouraged to follow the best practice guidelines provided when conducting any on-site research or survey activities. The guidelines can be viewed and downloaded by clicking the link below.
The Research Advisory Group requests that researchers complete a notification of research form so that there is a record of any on-site research activities proposed within the vicinity of the WHS. This will assist with important management and conservation activities and also ensure that researchers are put in contact with relevant persons and made aware of existing data which may aid their research. While conducting research at the WHS you are responsible for your personal safety. Please fill in and submit the notification of research form by clicking below
