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.

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.

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).

DK model 2019 – Water resources assessment comprises derived results from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark for assessing the use and quantitative status of groundwater resources. The dataset contains model-based assessments of groundwater recharge, water abstraction, exploitation rates, water balance, groundwater drawdown and related assessments at groundwater body level. Exploitation rates are calculated as the ratio between abstraction and groundwater recharge and are used together with information on drawdown and streamflow impacts to assess whether groundwater bodies may be at risk with respect to water balance and quantitative status. The dataset is suitable for regional screening, documentation and overall assessment of groundwater resources, but should not be used as the sole basis for local-scale decisions without additional expert evaluation.

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.

Appendix 10.1. Updated Panarctic Lichen Checklist as used for the calculations (version March 2013) with data on preferred substrate, growth form (crustose, squamulose, foliose, fruticose), rarity of species within and outside the Arctic, occurrence in the low and high Arctic and occurerence in the floristic provinces.

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 9.7 Species list with full names of liverworts of Greenland according to Damsholt (2010, unpublished) including 22 families, 50 genera and 173 species.
