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 geophysical data available on the Greenland Mineral Resources Portal are both released company data and data acquired based on public funding (AEM and Aeromag surveys). The AEM Greenland 1994-1998 project, encompassed high resolution detailed multi-parameter surveys (electromagnetic, magnetic and partly radiometric) in the years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 survey 1 and survey 2 producing a total of 75 000 line kilometres. The Aeromag projects, encompassed high resolution magnetic surveys conducted in 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2012 and 2013 producing a total of more than 550 000 line kilometres. The projects were financed by the governments of Greenland and Denmark. More detailed information on the available geophysical date is given in Geology and Ore No. 22.

Scree samples have been collected when both stream sediments and soil samples have proven impossible. The available data package contains 49 samples. Values below detection limit, is given as negative values.

The regional aeromagnetic datasets were acquired from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Bremerhaven, Germany, in four field campaigns along the coastal regions of Northeast Greenland from 1993-1996. The line spacing ranges both in inline and crossline direction from 10-40 km and the levels range up to 3700 m. Presented maps are based on data reprocessed by GEUS.

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).

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.

All active small scale licences. The data are converted from the WFS that th ministery of mineral resources (MMR) in Greenland provides. Links are provided in the online resources

Basic information about the location of on- and offshore drillholes from Greenland for scientific research, mineral and oil and gas exploration. If available, a link to a report or summary sheet is specified that is the original source of information. The data is from 1948 through to 2019 and subject to change as new information becomes available from scientific reports, press releases and company documents.

The Atlas samples of N Greenland package are described in Thrane et al 2011. This package builds on samples collected over a period from 1978 to 1999, holding old and newly acquired data. Some of the old samples have been reanalysed and together they have been quality controlled and compared. There are 2,644 unique samples in this package (65 of these samples are located under Soil samples). The geochemical analyses that are presented are above detection limit and readings below have been filtered out. Sampling The sampling density is not consistent throughout the covered area, and varies from 1 sample per 30 to 50 km2 to scarce and irregular in other areas. The regional geochemical surveys undertaken in North Greenland, follows the procedure for stream sediment sampling in Steenfelt, 1999. Thrane et al 2011, give more information sampling campaigns in the area. The sample consists of 500 g sediment collected from stream bed and banks into paper bags. In the filed the samples were dried and sent to Copenhagen for further drying and screening. Analyses was made on a split fraction < 0.1 mm size fraction.
