This map is the first national map showing the depth in meters to the uppermost redox interface in sediments of Quaternary age. The redox interface indicates the transition from the oxidized to the reduced geochemical environment in sediments. The redox interface was identified according to the colors of the sediments in 11,999 wells and is shown for 1x1 km grid-cells. For grid-cells with multiple site information, the depth to the redox interface is indicated by an average value. For grid-cells without any field information, the depth of the redox interface was established based on information about 1) geological setting, 2) morphology, 3) depths to redox boundaries at nearby field sites, 4) GEUS surface geology map, 5) topography, and 6) the pre-quaternary surface. The method for this first national redox-map and the data used is described in GEUS report no. 93 (2006) entitled Beregning af nitrat-reduktionsfaktorer for zonen mellem rodzonen og frem til vandløbet. Data og metode for 1.generationskortet (in Danish). The Redox map is also described in Vand og Jord (2011) 18: 37-39 (in Danish).

The map is based on selected seismic data up to 2001. The map shows the structural conditions at depth for the 'Top Kalk' surface, from the central to the eastern part of the Danish North Sea. 'Top Kalk' denotes the surface which forms the basis of the Tertiary deposits (except Denmark). The map is described in GEUS Bulletin No. 13. 2007.

Greenland mineral assessment workshops have been held on Sedimentary-hosted Copper, type: redbed-, revett- and reduced-facies type in 2009, Various Rare Earth Elements deposit types in 2010 (this workshop was not carried out according to the 'three-part quantitative assessment' method), Sedimentary-hosted zinc SEDEX- and MVT-type in 2011, Magmatic nickel; komatiite-hosted, contact- and conduit-type in 2012 and Vein- and skarn type Tungsten in 2013 and Orogenic gold type in 2014. Most of the workshops, besides the one on rare earth elements, have been following the processes and methodologies used in the 'three-part quantitative assessment' method of the U.S. Geological Survey described by Singer (1993). The method does not define deposits or provide mineral resource or reserve estimates according to industrial or international recognised certified standards. The objective is to produce a probabilistic estimate of unknown/undiscovered deposits and corresponding probabilistic estimates of the total amount of metals down to one kilometre depth. The estimates do not take into account economic, technical, social or environmental factors. In the 'three-part quantitative assessment' method, an expert panel reviewed and discussed all available knowledge and data for a specific region (Tract) to assess the possibility of finding new undiscovered deposits within this Tract. The expert panels consisted of geologists from universities, research institutions, Surveys as well as private exploration and mining companies. The experts have either expertise in/worked with the deposit type in focus, with the regional and/or local geology relevant for the tracts being assessed or have expertise from exploration/mining projects for the deposit type in focus elsewhere in the world. One or two international top-experts on the mineral deposit type in focus for the different workshops have also participated in the workshop. After reviewing the available knowledge and data the members of the panel made their individual estimates (bids) of the number of undiscovered deposits they believed could be found under the best circumstances in a tract. The bids are based on the characteristics derived from descriptive mineral deposit models and a number of key-literature on the mineralisation type. In several of the workshops, critical elements have also been considered in the mineralising system (e.g. McCuaig & Hronsky 2014) associated with the deposit type in focus, when carrying out the bids. A panel discussion of the bids led to a consensus bid, which was used as input to a statistical Monte Carlo simulation. Based on established grade-/tonnage models of e.g. known tungsten deposits worldwide, this simulation can provide a prediction on how much undiscovered metals could be found within a Tract. The 'Tracts' are spatial polygons that define a certain area that was found to be permissive for the concerned mineral deposit type and which constitutes the same level of geology, knowledge and data coverage. Tracts are named with a unique name, tract area is given in square kilometre and consensus bids from team under N90, N50, N10, N05 and N01 headings of undiscovered metals deposits at different confidence levels. The statistics from the Monte Carlo simulation is shown under the headings Numbers of unknown deposits and Deposit density.

A new inventory on onshore petroleum seeps and stains in Greenland. this new inventory has been developed to facilitate new activities. The classification includes the following features: (1) Oil seeps, (2) Gas seeps, (3) Mud diapirs, pingos and gas-rich springs, (4) Oil stains in volcanics, carbonates and sandstones, (5) Solid macroscopic bitumen, and (6) Fluids inclusions and other evidence of micro-seepage. The inventory comprises detailed information on localities, coordinates, and sample numbers together with description of features and geology including references to data, reports and publications. All information is summarized in either a mineralization or petroleum systems context. Petroleum seeps and stains have been reported from most Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins in Greenland where they add important information on petroleum systems, especially distribution and facies variation of source rocks, petroleum generation and later migration, accumulation, and degradation. The inventory is designed to be updated with additional localities and descriptions, and new organic geochemical data.

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.

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 digital terrain model of Greenland is constructed on the basis of GEUS's topographic data set from the official geological maps of Greenland in scale ratios 1:100 000 and 1:500 000. The data base is primarily supported by contour lines, coastlines and support points. The terrain model is assembled as a mosaic in sub-areas based on the map sheet frames from the geological map of Greenland in 1:500 000. The terrain model is made in the coordinate system WGS 1984 Complex UTM Zone 24N with the dimensions in a 100 x 100 m grid. Based on the digital terrain model, a shadow map of the terrain has been constructed.
