    The National well database (Jupiter) among other things contains water level measurements from Danish wells. The database contains water level measurements from the municipalities, the groundwater-monitoring program, the regions soil pollution investigations and from the establishment of new wells. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

    The area in South-East Greenland between 62°30’N and 66°30’N was targeted for its mineralisation potential through data collection and renewed mapping during the collaborative ‘SEGMENT’ project (2009-2014) between the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP, now Ministry of Mineral Resources, MMR). The main aims of the ‘SEGMENT’ project included: • Compiling a regional stream sediment geochemical and till indicator mineral survey; • Compiling a regional aeromagnetic survey of South-East Greenland; • Conduct geological field investigations in order to characterise the main lithology and as the basis for geological research, including petrology, structural geology, geochemistry and geochronology; • Evaluate economic geology and mineral potential through field investigations, using geological parameter in order to be able to predict possible mineralisation; • Revise the existing 1:500 000 geological map of South-East Greenland; and • Integrated data interpretation to describe and provide a geological model for the geological evolution of South-East Greenland and assess the mineral of potential of the region. The details behind the data collection and mapping efforts under the ‘SEGMENT’ project are summarized in the GEUS report by Kolb et al. (2016) which provides an overview of the geology and the lithological units within the mapping area between 62°N and 66°30’N.

    The Samba database among other things contains information about deep wells in the Danish sector, acquired according to the Danish Act on the Use of the Subsoil. That is: exploration, appraisal, delimitation and production wells related to oil/gas. Also wells with other purposes such as: geothermal energy, gas storage, salt production and scientific research. The data sets contains technical, administrative and geological information about the well and about the geophysical measurements undertaken in the well (well logs and reports). Data are submitted by the company to whom the permission has been granted. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

    The regional-scale gamma spectrometry data are associated with two collaboration projects involving the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) and the Danish Atomic Energy Commission’s Research Establishment. The projects' objectives were to outline areas with an elevated uranium potential in two regions of Greenland: The airborne radiometric surveys in southern and central West Greenland in 1975/76 and the SYDURAN project in South Greenland in 1979-1982. To acquire the data, four-channel gamma ray spectrometers were mounted upon an aircraft (1975/76 surveys) and a helicopter (SYDURAN project). The vehicles flew along shoreline and valley contour lines at low average terrain clearances of 100 and 50 m respectively. The data were recorded without GPS systems, and so positioning was estimated when known landmarks were passed. This means that the dataset is sparse and inhomogeneous, and the spatial accuracy remains low. The gamma-spectrometer had been calibrated at a pad facility at Risø, which enabled the conversion of recorded counts per second into simulated concentrations of radioactive components in the surface of the overflown terrain. Large parts of the data (surveys from 1975/76) were originally stored on magnetic tapes and data were transferred to datafiles in 2003 to make them digital accessible. Most data were retrieved and are now available as ASCII files.

    The gravity compilation is based on data stored in the national/Nordic gravity data base at the DTU Space. This data base contains for Greenland data surveyed by DTU Space on behalf of the geodetic survey authorities “Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency” (SDFE) and its predecessor agencies “National Survey and Cadastre” (KMS) and the Geodetic Institute (GI), with some data dating back to the 1950’s. Older data have been rectified into modern gravity datums (absolute gravimetry and IGSN71). The national data contains both surface, airborne and marine data, mainly in the coastal ice-free regions and offshore (Forsberg et al, 2001, Kenyon et al, 2008). Airborne, marine and land data from a number of external data sources are also included in the data base after a QC process, including high-level airborne data from the GAP91/92 campaigns (Brozena et al, 1993) and recent data from NASA OIB (MacGregor et al., 2021) and OMG projects (Fenty et al., 2016). Marine data in the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait and land data from the Geodetic Survey Division, Canada (Veronneau 2010, pers.comm.), and a number of other marine and land data from a large set of contributors have also been included in the compilation, including marine data from Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany), land and marine data from Orkustofnun (Iceland), and a number of released commercial data sources. In areas void of gravity data, satellite-derived altimetry data have been used as fill-in (DTU 15, Andersen et al. 2017). The compiled grids have been based on public domain and some proprietary data sources, and has been computed for the area 58-85°N, 78-7°W on a 0.02°x 0.05° grid, using rigorous downward continuation of airborne data to the terrain surface, with terrain corrections from a detailed digital terrain and ice sheet surface model, and long-wavelength satellite gravity data from GRACE and GOCE satellites (Forsberg and Olesen, 2010). The data are available as a free-air (Faye) anomaly grid as well as a derived terrain-corrected Bouguer anomaly grid (land and ice sheet areas only), computed in GRS80 with density 2.67 g/cm3. The ice sheet Bouguer anomaly data are derived using the ice sheet thickness model of Bamber et al., 2013. The free-air gravity grid (v1) have also have been used as the primary background data also for the latest geoid models of Greenland (GGEOID16).

    Dataset containing a summary of geological information for known mineral occurrences on Greenland. The information includes the location, size, mineral commodities, mineralisation type, exploration history and a geological description of the deposit. The data has been collected and compiled from fieldwork investigations conducted by geological surveys, academic researchers and mineral exploration companies.

    The digital geological map shows the surface geology. The map is a result of the systematic geological mapping of Denmark. The map is digitized from maps originating from fieldwork, where sediment samples are collected at 1m depth using a hand auger with a sample spacing of 100 - 200 m. This version 6 from 2021 classifies 91 % of Denmark's area. The map is supplemented in an ongoing process. The legend shows 82 different sediment types. The map is published in GEUS report 2021/68, where further information is available in Danish.

    The Samba database contains information about geophysical investigations made in the Danish sector, acquired according to the Danish Act on the Use of the Subsoil. The data is acquired in relation to investigation for oil/gas, geothermal energy, the storage of gas or salt. That is: Seismic (2D & 3D) acquisitions, CSEM as well as other magnetic and gravity acquisitions shipborne as well as airborne. The dataset also contains geophysical measurement performed in the deep wells and meta data about the seismic surveys. The data has been submitted by the licensees. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.
