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.

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.

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.

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 Samba database among other things contains information about deep wells in the Danish sector, acquired according to the Danish Act on the Use of the Subsoil. That is: exploration, appraisal, delimitation and production wells related to oil/gas. Also wells with other purposes such as: geothermal energy, gas storage, salt production and scientific research. The data sets contains technical, administrative and geological information about the well and about the geophysical measurements undertaken in the well (well logs and reports). Data are submitted by the company to whom the permission has been granted. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

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.

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).

The digital terrain model of Greenland is constructed on the basis of GEUS's topographic datasets from the official geological maps of Greenland in scale ratio 1:100.000 and 1:500.000. The DEM is created using an interpolation method called Topo to Raster function in ArcGIS Desktop which is primarily supported by contour lines, coastlines and elevation points. The creation of the DEM was divided into in sub-areas based on the map sheet frames from the geological map of Greenland in 1:500.000 scale and assembled as a raster mosaic. The DEM was created with the spatial coordinate reference system WGS 1984 / UTM Zone 24N Complex with a resolution of a 100x100 meter grid. Based on the final DEM, a hillshade efect of the terrain has been constructed.
