Geochemical Atlas samples South-West Greenland
This view presents data from stream sediment geochemical mapping of West and South Greenland (Steenfelt, 2001a). Stream sediment samples were collected from 1979 to 1998 with as even coverage as possible from low-order streams and with a sampling density of mostly around 1 sample per 30 km2 but up to 1 sample per 5 km2 in parts of South Greenland. The 0.1 mm grain size fractions of 500-g samples were analysed for major and trace elements by two or three methods. After careful quality control, selection of the most reliable analytical data and elimination of analytical bias (calibration), the final consistent dataset, named batch 2005, contains data from 7122 samples analysed for up to 43 elements (see Steenfelt 1999, 2001b for details on data selection and calibration). In batch 2005, values below lower detection limit are indicated by the digit 0.
Sample location
Before 1997, sample sites were originally marked on topographic maps at the scale 1:100,000 and their positions were later digitised and later again corrected, when a new topographic reference was introduced around year 2000. From 1997 onwards, GPS was used to determine sample positions.
