    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.

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    The dataset contains outlines of archived historical unpublished geological maps and sections of Greenland mostly created by GGU and GEUS but also some other institutes from 1916 onwards at various scales.

    This repository contains three national nitrogen retention maps for Denmark and associated uncertainties. “TotalRetention_regioner.tif” is the total retention (nitrogen removal) from the source location to the coast, “Grundvandsretention_regioner.tif” is the retention during transport in the groundwater and “Overfladevandsretention.tif” is the retention in the surface water system, i.e. streams, lakes, wetlands and inundated areas. The maps for the total and groundwater retention are aggregated from a 100 m grid into regions with a minimum size of 50 ha based on similarity between neighbouring grids. For surface water, the spatial resolution is defined as the contribution catchment discharging to the individual retention environments, e.g. a lake catchment. The total retention is supplemented by two maps “TotalRetention_usikkerhed_regioner.tif” showing the uncertainty in the total retention estimated for each region and “TotalRetention_standardafvigelse_regioner.tif” displaying the standard deviation between the individual grids within each region. All maps are calculated using data for the period 2000 – 2021. The nitrogen retention maps have been developed in a collaboration between GEUS and Aarhus University. (2025-08-29).

    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).

    Exploration companies are obliged to report their activities to the Ministry of Minerals and Resources (MMR). Now reports are delivered in digital format, but were previously delivered in paper, to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). They are scanned and released reports are available under Reports. Digital restoration The data that the reports hold is thus available, but stored as images in scanned pdf?s. The geochemical data of 4 reports (Allen & Harris, 1980; Coppard et al., 1992; Harris et al., 1992 and Pearson & Joudrie, 1995) have been digitized. I.e. the reports have be optically characterised and the sample locations georeferenced. The matching of the sample locations and geochemically referenced samples does not always match. Meaning that a sample that has coordinate may not have geochemical results, and a sample with geochemical measurements might not have coordinate. The reporting of the analytical facilities and precision is sparse. Detection limits, analytical uncertainty and reliability are generally not reported. Analytical methods and analysed grain fractions of sediment samples also not reported. When all these issues have been listed, it should be noted that errors may occur. From the digital restoration of scanned paper to optically characterisation of the scanned text and numbers errors may be introduced. The user is cautioned to these issues. Upload to data base To make the data available on the web, upload to GEUS sample data base is required. To fit into the sample data base, some adjustments had to be made. Sample names modified, collector created etc., resulting in modified sample names, relative to the ones used in the reports. The reports from which the samples occur in are not mentioned in the data base. Hence the four reports and links to them are listed below:
