Geochemical analyses of Stream sediment samples from Greenland

Samples of surface material, i.e. stream sediment, soil, and scree have been collected over large parts of Greenland from 1974 onwards mainly as part of mineral exploration programmes and more broadly for geochemical mapping by means of stream sediment (Steenfelt 1999, 2001). Following various sample preparation procedures, like drying and screening, making concentrates of heavy minerals from stream sediment or soil, certain fractions of the samples have been chemically analysed at diverse laboratories where a range of analytical methods were applied as they became available over the years. The present dataset contains the analytical data from stream sediment as they were received from the laboratories together with administrative data, including sample location and grain-size fraction analysed.

Many samples have been analysed at more than one laboratory and by more than one method and the analytical data for each sample and grain size fraction are listed lab by lab and method by method in the same row. The majority of the samples were collected and analysed before year 2000. More recent data from South-East and North Greenland have been added (Kolb et al 2016).
