A series of Aster band ratios highlighting mineral distributions. Band ratio color composite images to distinguish variability of lithology in the area. Preprocessing of the Aster scenes encompasses atmospheric, radiometric and topographic corrections before masking non-outcrop pixels and generating the final mosaic. The calibrated radiance data is converted to apparent surface reflectance using a radiative transfer program, Atmospheric and Topographic Correction (ATCOR-3), in rugged terrain mode. The ATCOR rugged terrain mode utilizes a surface elevation model to adjust illumination levels. Calibration and adjusting the apparent surface reflectance values from the ATCOR-3 processing was not feasible due to lack of ground-based reflectance measurements.

The dataset represents the location of towns, settlements and airfields in Greenland. Each town and settlement have the number of inhabitants updated officially from Asiaq September 2018.

Intrusions and magmatic complexes are central, when it comes to an assessment of the economic geological potential of a region. There are many of these in Greenland, and only a few of them have been examined in detail for their economic potential. In Nielsen (2002), tertiary intrusions and complexes in East Greenland were described, and later on information on intrusions and magmatic complexes in all of Greenland, were modelled based on the same methodology. The information has been compiled by GEUS geologists.

The Raw stream sediment samples dataset is data as they have been delivered from the laboratories, i.e. values below detection limit often spelled as negative but zero may also apply. The data are not controlled by a geologist. In addition, they may not have been reported.

The MARTA database contains shallow seismic and acoustic data, information and geological samples. MATRA shows the distribution of marine sand and gravel resources and gives access to reports on raw material surveys. MARTA shows the distribution of marine sand and gravel resources and gives access to reports on raw material surveys. Data has primarily been acquired by GEUS and our partners., MARTA is the official Danish marine raw material database for data reported in accordance with the Danish Raw Material Act. MARTA is used by the raw materials industry and authorities and as a planning tool in connection with raw material extraction and marine construction projects including beach nourishment. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

The AEM Greenland 19941998 are detailed surveys with combined electromagnetic and magnetic measurements that were carried out within a collaboration between GEUS/GGU and the Greenland Government in six selected areas of expected high mineral potential in Greenland. In total, 75 000 line km covering an area of 23 000 km² were measured in the project. Line spacing was 200 400 m (inline direction) and flight altitudes were typically around 120 m. With exception of one survey the collected electromagnetic data were time-domain data (GEOTEM system).

Historical mineral exploration and exploitation licences in Greenland. The data are converted from the WFS that the ministery of mineral resources (MMR) in Greenland provides. Links are provided in the online resources.

The geological maps of Denmark on a scale of 1:400,000 focus on the Danish basin and its geological structures. The map includes areas that extend from the geological age 'Basis Kalk' and the Kalk Gruppen. The 'Basis Kalk' map shows the depth in metres, where 'Basis Kalk' denotes the area that forms the basis for all layers younger than the Early Cretaceous. Over the majority of the mapped area, this surface is level with the base of the Kalk Group, but where the limestone is eroded away, the surface is equal to the base of the Quaternary. The depth to 'Basis Kalk' is calculated as the depth to the base of the deposits younger than Denmark plus the thickness of the Kalk group. The map is published in DGU Map Series no. 29 from 1991, where further information about the mapping can be obtained.

The Greenland Geochronology database compiles published U-Pb geochronology from a wide range of literature sources and normalizes and recasts the data into consistent ratios and uncertainty levels; specifically all errors are given at the 1 sigma level. Importantly, this normalization provides coherence across the dataset. Additionally, ratios are verified against ages and have, if necessary, been corrected to ensure an internally consistent dataset. Systematic collation and assessment of geochronological data can be best achieved by means of a database which holds information within a structured and consistent framework which permits querying to extract relevant data and minimises difficulty in cross comparison of age information where different standards have been used.

The Samba database contains information about geophysical investigations made in the Danish sector, acquired according to the Danish Act on the Use of the Subsoil. The data is acquired in relation to investigation for oil/gas, geothermal energy, the storage of gas or salt. That is: Seismic (2D & 3D) acquisitions, CSEM as well as other magnetic and gravity acquisitions shipborne as well as airborne. The dataset also contains geophysical measurement performed in the deep wells and meta data about the seismic surveys. The data has been submitted by the licensees. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.
