    Zircon age data as gathered from literature and GEUS samples

    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.

    This view presents data selected from the geochemical mapping of North Greenland that are relevant for an evaluation of the potential for zinc mineralisation: CaO, K2O, Ba, Cu, Sr, Zn. The data represent the most reliable analytical values from 2469 stream sediment and 204 soil samples collected and analysed over a period from 1978 to 1999 plus a large number of reanalyses in 2011. The compiled data have been quality controlled and calibrated to eliminate bias between methods and time of analysis as described in Thrane et al., 2011. In the present dataset, all values below lower detection limit are indicated by the digit 0. Sampling The regional geochemical surveys undertaken in North Greenland follows the procedure for stream sediment sampling given in Steenfelt, 1999. Thrane et al., 2011 give more information on sampling campaigns in the area. The sample consists of 500 g sediment collected into paper bags from stream bed and banks, alternatively soil from areas devoid of streams. The sampling density is not consistent throughout the covered area and varies from regular with 1 sample per 30 to 50 km2 to scarce and irregular in other areas. Analyses were made on screened < 0.1 mm or <0.075 mm grain size fractions.

    Dataset containing a summary of geological information for known mineral occurrences on Greenland. The information includes the location, size, mineral commodities, mineralisation type, exploration history and a geological description of the deposit. The data has been collected and compiled from fieldwork investigations conducted by geological surveys, academic researchers and mineral exploration companies.

    The National well database (Jupiter) among other things contains water level measurements from Danish wells. The database contains water level measurements from the municipalities, the groundwater-monitoring program, the regions soil pollution investigations and from the establishment of new wells. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

    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.

    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.

    Ujarassiorit is a mineral hunt competition open to residents of Greenland. Participants can submit rock samples from Greenland to the Ministry of Minerals Ressources (MMR) for evaluation and may be selected for a prize.
