The dataset contains a summary of geological information for known mineral occurrence regions in Greenland. The information includes the geographic location, size, mineral commodities, mineralisation type, exploration history and a geological description of each occurrence or deposit. The data have been collected and compiled from field investigations conducted by geological surveys, academic researchers and mineral exploration companies. The dataset represents a regional synthesis of mineral occurrence information and provides an overview of the spatial distribution and geological context of known mineral resources in Greenland.

DK model 2019 – Model data comprises core model data from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset describes the model basis used in DK model 2019, including the hydrogeological model structure, computational grid, groundwater bodies, climate input, water abstraction data, stream network and other thematic input data included in the model setup. DK model 2019 was updated with new groundwater bodies, new hydrogeological mapping information and a new calibration against observed groundwater heads and stream discharge. The model data form the basis for calculations of groundwater recharge, water balance, water abstraction, drawdown, exploitation rates and impacts on streams. The dataset is suitable as documentation of the model basis and as input to regional analyses, screening and further modelling studies, but should not be used directly for local-scale issues without a separate assessment.

DK model 2019 – Simulation results comprises calculated hydrological results from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset contains derived results from model runs with DK model 2019, including calculations of water balance, groundwater recharge, impacts of water abstraction, groundwater drawdown, streamflow impacts and changes in flow-related indicators. The results include, among other outputs, comparisons between scenarios with current abstraction and reference scenarios without abstraction. The dataset is used for regional assessment of hydrological conditions, screening of water resource and impact conditions, and documentation of model-calculated results. The results are model-based and should be used with due consideration of the regional purpose, model uncertainties and limitations of DK model in relation to local-scale applications.

Appendix 9.2 The 106 Arctic endemic vascular plant species (with PAF code number) and their distribution in the Arctic floristic provinces and subzones (A-E) compiled from Elven (2007).

This layer comprises all the available water wells in GIN (Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador) and published through the open data platforms. This layer is a combination of all individual provincial and territorial layers. The original databases are dynamically converted by an automatic process managed by Natural Resources Canada (Groundwater Information Network).

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 represents a map of ice margin lines and related localities in Scandinavia, illustrating the gradual deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the last glaciation, the Weichsel Ice Age. The map depicts the ice sheet extent in five main deglaciation phases, as well as the occurrence of recent ice caps, ice-margin localities, De Geer moraines, ice margin lines and hypothetical ice margin lines. The dataset was compiled in 1995 in connection with TemaNord and presents a regional overview of the deglaciation history of Scandinavia. GEUS has provided technical input in producing the ice margin map.

The dataset consists of a series of ASTER band ratios combined into colour composite images designed to highlight mineralogical distributions and lithological variability in Northeast Greenland. The ASTER scenes were preprocessed with atmospheric, radiometric and topographic corrections, including radiative transfer modelling using ATCOR-3 in rugged terrain mode. A surface elevation model was applied to adjust illumination effects. Non-outcrop pixels were masked prior to generating the final mosaic. Calibrated radiance data were converted to apparent surface reflectance; however, further calibration against ground-based reflectance measurements was not feasible. The dataset represents a derived remote sensing product and not primary satellite data.

Appendix 9.3 Borderline vascular plant species (“b”) with indication of PAF code number, reaching the southernmost part of the Arctic subzone E. Arctic floristic provinces, subzones (A-E), neighbouring boreal or boreo-alpine zone (N) derived from Elven (2007).

Appendix 11. Taxa of hetorotrophic protists reported from Foxe Basin, Canada (FB), Disko Bay, W Greenland (DB; Vors 1993), the Greenland Sea (GLS; Ikävalko & Gradinger 1997) and Northern Baffin Bay, Canada (NBB; Lovejoy et al. 2002).
