The dataset comprises spatial polygons (Tracts) representing areas in Greenland assessed as geologically permissive for specific mineral deposit types during mineral resource assessment workshops conducted between 2009 and 2014. Assessments were carried out following the principles of the U.S. Geological Survey “three-part quantitative assessment” method (Singer, 1993), except for the 2010 rare earth elements workshop. For each Tract, probabilistic estimates of the number of undiscovered deposits at different confidence levels are provided, along with statistical results from Monte Carlo simulations based on established grade-tonnage models. The assessments do not include economic, technical, environmental or social considerations.

The dataset contains geographic polygons representing the areas of Greenland covered in GEUS publications and in the DODEX report database. Each publication is associated with metadata including title, authors, year of publication and reference information as well as a link to the digital publication where publicly available. The dataset includes publication series such as GEUS Bulletin, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, Bulletin Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, report series and geological map descriptions. The polygons are based on the geographic extent described in each publication and serve as a spatial index for search and visualisation purposes.

This dataset comprises regional geochemical stream sediment data from West and South Greenland and forms the basis of the Geochemical Atlas of West and South Greenland (Steenfelt, 2001). The Geochemical Atlas of West and South Greenland presents the results of a regional stream sediment geochemical mapping programme conducted between 1979 and 1998. A total of 7,122 stream sediment samples were collected from low-order streams with near-uniform spatial coverage across West and South Greenland. The <0.1 mm grain-size fraction of 500 g samples was analysed for major and trace elements using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), delayed neutron counting (DNC) and loss on ignition (LOI). After systematic calibration and quality control to eliminate analytical bias between different methods and time periods, a harmonised and internally consistent dataset was established containing up to 43 elements per sample. The atlas provides a regional overview of the geochemical composition of the minerogenic fraction of stream sediments and constitutes a geochemical baseline dataset for geological mapping and mineral exploration in Greenland.

GE.Bedrock 1:1 000 000 is a transformed version of the SGU product Bedrock1:1 million with the purpose to conform to the Inspire data specification for Geology encoded according to GeoSciML 4.0. It is also a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeoloy.org). Data is represented in a two-dimensional model of the top of the bedrock, describing identified geological units geometry, the material composition of the units and geologic events that has acted on the units. Shear displacement structures like faults on the top of bedrock are also included in the model. The main features of the bedrock geology of Sweden is represented in the produkt and since it is based on compilation of bedrock maps of different scales, age and quality the accuracy of the data varies within the dataset. The product is produced for presentation at the scale of 1:1 miilion which means that some units are heavily generalized.

This group of maps, which includes the CanMatrix and CanTopo collections, is now a legacy product that is no longer maintained. It may not meet current government standards. Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan) topographic raster maps provide a representation of the topographic phenomena of the Canadian landmass. Several editions of paper maps have been produced over time in order to offer improved products compared to their predecessors in terms of quality and the most up to date information possible. The georeferenced maps can be used in a Geographic Information System (GIS). In all cases, they accurately represent the topographical data available for the date indicated (validity date). The combination of CanMatrix and CanTopo data provides complete national coverage. • CanMatrix - Print Ready: Raster maps produced by scanning topographic maps at scales from 1:25 000 to 1:1 000 000. This product is not georeferenced. Validity dates: 1944 to 2005 (1980 on average). Available formats: PDF and TIFF • CanMatrix - Georeferenced: Raster maps produced by scanning topographic maps at scales of 1:50 000 and 1:250 000. These maps are georeferenced according to the 1983 North American Reference System (NAD 83). Validity dates: 1944 to 2005 (1980 on average). Available format: GeoTIFF • CanTopo: Digital raster maps produced mainly from the GeoBase initiative, NRCan digital topographic data, and other sources. Approximately 2,234 datasets (maps) at scale of 1:50 000, primarily covering northern Canada, are available. CanTopo datasets in GeoPDF and GeoTIFF format are georeferenced according to the 1983 North American Reference System (NAD 83). Validity dates: 1946 to 2012 (2007 on average). Available formats: PDF, GeoPDF, TIFF and GeoTIFF
