    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 digital geological map shows the surface geology. The map is a result of the systematic geological mapping of Denmark. The map is digitized from maps originating from fieldwork, where sediment samples are collected at 1m depth using a hand auger with a sample spacing of 100 - 200 m. This version 6 from 2021 classifies 91 % of Denmark's area. The map is supplemented in an ongoing process. The legend shows 82 different sediment types. The map is published in GEUS report 2021/68, where further information is available in Danish.

    Samples of surface material, i.e. stream sediment, soil, and scree have been collected over large parts of Greenland from 1974 onwards mainly as part of mineral exploration programmes and more broadly for geochemical mapping by means of stream sediment (Steenfelt 1999, 2001). Following various sample preparation procedures, like drying and screening, making concentrates of heavy minerals from stream sediment or soil, certain fractions of the samples have been chemically analysed at diverse laboratories where a range of analytical methods were applied as they became available over the years. The present dataset contains the analytical data from stream sediment as they were received from the laboratories together with administrative data, including sample location and grain-size fraction analysed. Many samples have been analysed at more than one laboratory and by more than one method and the analytical data for each sample and grain size fraction are listed lab by lab and method by method in the same row. The majority of the samples were collected and analysed before year 2000. More recent data from South-East and North Greenland have been added (Kolb et al 2016).

    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.

    The dataset contains the General Batymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) based on GEBCO_2019 Grid from 2019. The dataset has been projected to WGS 84 / IBCAO Polar Stereographic projection (EPSG:3996) and extends down to 50° latitude. The complete data set provides global coverage, spanning 89° 59' 52.5''N, 179° 59' 52.5''W to 89°: 59' 52.5''S, 179° 59' 52.5''E on a 15 arc-second grid. It consists of 43200 rows x 86400 columns, giving 3,732,480,000 data points. The data values are pixel-centre registered i.e. they refer to elevations at the centre of grid cells. The GEBCO_2019 Grid is a continuous, global terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of 15 arc seconds. The grid uses as a ‘base’ Version 1 of the SRTM15+ data set (Olson et al, 2014). This data set is a fusion of land topography with measured and estimated seafloor topography. It is largely based on version 11 of SRTM30+ (Becker et al, 2009; Sandwell et al, 2014), augmented with the gridded bathymetric data sets developed by the four Seabed 2030 Regional Centers. The published data were recalculated on a cell-registered grid for use by GEBCO. The GEBCO_2019 Grid includes data sets from a number of international and national data repositories and regional mapping initiatives.

    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.
