The gravity compilation is based on data stored in the national/Nordic gravity data base at the DTU Space. This data base contains for Greenland data surveyed by DTU Space on behalf of the geodetic survey authorities “Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency” (SDFE) and its predecessor agencies “National Survey and Cadastre” (KMS) and the Geodetic Institute (GI), with some data dating back to the 1950’s. Older data have been rectified into modern gravity datums (absolute gravimetry and IGSN71). The national data contains both surface, airborne and marine data, mainly in the coastal ice-free regions and offshore (Forsberg et al, 2001, Kenyon et al, 2008). Airborne, marine and land data from a number of external data sources are also included in the data base after a QC process, including high-level airborne data from the GAP91/92 campaigns (Brozena et al, 1993) and recent data from NASA OIB (MacGregor et al., 2021) and OMG projects (Fenty et al., 2016). Marine data in the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait and land data from the Geodetic Survey Division, Canada (Veronneau 2010, pers.comm.), and a number of other marine and land data from a large set of contributors have also been included in the compilation, including marine data from Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany), land and marine data from Orkustofnun (Iceland), and a number of released commercial data sources. In areas void of gravity data, satellite-derived altimetry data have been used as fill-in (DTU 15, Andersen et al. 2017). The compiled grids have been based on public domain and some proprietary data sources, and has been computed for the area 58-85°N, 78-7°W on a 0.02°x 0.05° grid, using rigorous downward continuation of airborne data to the terrain surface, with terrain corrections from a detailed digital terrain and ice sheet surface model, and long-wavelength satellite gravity data from GRACE and GOCE satellites (Forsberg and Olesen, 2010). The data are available as a free-air (Faye) anomaly grid as well as a derived terrain-corrected Bouguer anomaly grid (land and ice sheet areas only), computed in GRS80 with density 2.67 g/cm3. The ice sheet Bouguer anomaly data are derived using the ice sheet thickness model of Bamber et al., 2013. The free-air gravity grid (v1) have also have been used as the primary background data also for the latest geoid models of Greenland (GGEOID16).

Nationwide geophysical database for environmental and raw material data, also known as GERDA (GEophysical Relational DAtabase). The database contains various types of geophysics, including geoelectrics, electromagnetics, borehole logs and seismic. All data is freely available for download on the GEUS website. The database is updated continuously.

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.

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 Samba database contains information about geophysical investigations made in the Danish sector, acquired according to the Danish Act on the Use of the Subsoil. The data is acquired in relation to investigation for oil/gas, geothermal energy, the storage of gas or salt. That is: Seismic (2D & 3D) acquisitions, CSEM as well as other magnetic and gravity acquisitions shipborne as well as airborne. The dataset also contains geophysical measurement performed in the deep wells and meta data about the seismic surveys. The data has been submitted by the licensees. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.

Dataset containing standard polygons for regions of Greenland and specific hand-drawn polygons representing the areas where the study was conducted that is described in the publication. Data can be filtered for publication title, authors, year of publication and the list of attributes contains other reference information including a link to the publication. The publications include GEUS Bulletin (2020 - ), Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin (2004 - 2019), Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin (1997 - 2002), Bulletin Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse (1948 – 1996) , Danmarks og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse Rapport, Rapport Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse (1964 – 1996), Open File Series Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, Mima rapport, Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse Geological Map Descriptions and Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Map Series.

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.

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.

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.

The Greenland Geochronology database compiles published U-Pb geochronology from a wide range of literature sources and normalizes and recasts the data into consistent ratios and uncertainty levels; specifically all errors are given at the 1 sigma level. Importantly, this normalization provides coherence across the dataset. Additionally, ratios are verified against ages and have, if necessary, been corrected to ensure an internally consistent dataset. Systematic collation and assessment of geochronological data can be best achieved by means of a database which holds information within a structured and consistent framework which permits querying to extract relevant data and minimises difficulty in cross comparison of age information where different standards have been used.
