The dataset contains rock sample geochemistry collected from 1957 to 2007 in south to central west Greenland analyzed with different methods that have been published in 3 reports.

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 geological maps of Greenland printed and published by GGU and GEUS since 1957 at various scales. The dataset contains links to the GEUS Dataverse where each map has been assigned a DOI and can be downloaded in a resolution of 400dpi TIFF-images or pdf.

The Geological Survey of Greenland (now part of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland: GEUS) carried out a systematic 1 : 500 000 geological mapping program in North Greenland with fieldwork between 1978 and 1985 (Henriksen & Higgins 1991). One of many activities was a systematic programme of oblique aerial photography of the steep walls of fjords and valleys. This web-site makes available more than 6400 of these photographs. Using a map interface the user gain access to the individual images, their geological coding and the geological map).

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.

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.

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.

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 geologist and will be augmented through more information forthcoming through GEUS and company activities. Only data released to the public will be available to external users over the internet.
