Geographical Index of GEUS Publications and DODEX Reports for Greenland

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.

Purpose
The purpose of the dataset is to support geographic search and visualisation of GEUS publications and DODEX reports by linking publications to spatial polygons. The dataset enables users to identify and access relevant reports and publications based on geographic area of interest, thereby improving accessibility and dissemination of geoscientific documentation for Greenland.

Other constraints
The dataset is based on published reports and registered metadata. The polygons represent the geographic areas addressed in the individual publications and do not constitute precise cartographic boundaries. The dataset should be used with proper citation. Interpretations and descriptions reflect the content of the associated publications.

Supplemental Information
The dataset does not contain the publications themselves but serves as a geographic index with associated metadata and links. Only non-confidential reports are publicly accessible through the DODEX web application. The dataset is continuously updated as new reports are registered and released.

Statement
The dataset was established as part of the DODEX project (Geoscience Documents and Data for Exploration in Greenland), carried out by GEUS in cooperation with the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) under the Government of Greenland . Reports submitted under the Mineral Resources Act are registered and incorporated into a relational database where metadata and geographic references are created. For older reports, geographic polygons were initially based on licence areas and later refined to better represent the actual area covered by the report. New reports are geo-referenced at the time of registration. The polygons represent the general area addressed in each publication and do not constitute precise cartographic boundaries.
