Soil sample geochemistry 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 soil samples 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. Five samples are used in the Geochemical Atlas of Stream sediment samples of South-West Greenland (Steenfelt, 1999). 204 samples from North Greenland have been used in the Geochemical Atlas of Stream sediment samples for North Greenland (Thrane 2011). In addition soil samples were collected in the SEGMENT project (Kolb et al. 2016)

- Statement
- The measured values below the lower limit of detection are set to 0. Information about sample preparation and analytical methods have been quality controlled and grain-size fractions have been added to the extract. Methods by which the geographical coordinates were obtained before 2000 were updated based on personal communcation with Agnete Steenfelt. The extract has columns for each combination of laboratory, analytical method, sample preparation, element and unit of measure. Particularly for older analytical data, information about lower limit of detection may be lacking.
