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.

Breeding bird species in the different geographic zones of the low and high Arctic

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 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.

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 9.8 The thirty moss families of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago with reference number (Ireland et al. 1987) in brackets. Number of species in each family, number of genus in family, and number of species in each genus are given. Species-rich genera and families are highlighted in grey.

Appendix 9.7 Species list with full names of liverworts of Greenland according to Damsholt (2010, unpublished) including 22 families, 50 genera and 173 species.

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.

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.
