    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.

    GEUS' Earthquake Portal provides information on all recorded earthquakes in Greenland. The data are extracted from GEUS' earthquake database and are updated daily. As a result, the timing, locations, and magnitudes of events may change as new data are added and existing events are revised. Continuous quality control is carried out, aiming to identify and remove explosions – typically related to military exercises or the removal of old munitions. Therefore, the list may change over time, and some uncertainty may be associated with the determination of epicentres and depths. The portal displays information for each earthquake, including the time of occurrence (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the geographical location and depth of the epicentre, and the local magnitude measured on the Richter scale. Earthquake data can be exported from the portal according to the defined zoom level and map extent.

    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.

    The dataset contains outlines of archived historical unpublished geological maps and sections of Greenland mostly created by GGU and GEUS but also some other institutes from 1916 onwards at various scales.

    In the present database there are 1269 unique samples. Soil samples have been collected in areas without river beds. Preferably stream samples have been collected, but areas where temporarily no stream beds are present, soil samples have been collected as an alternative for geochemical mapping purpose. Five samples in this package are originally from the report Compilation of data sets for a geochemical Atlas (Steenfelt, 1999). These samples have been analysed by "UNKNOWN" methods at "UNKNOWN" laboratories. In fact these samples have been calibrated and corrected for analytical bias, see Steenfelt 1999, for further information.

    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.

    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.
