The dataset comprises regional airborne radiometric measurements acquired in Greenland during 1975–1982 as part of systematic geophysical mapping programmes. The measurements were collected using aircraft-mounted gamma spectrometers and record natural gamma radiation from potassium (K), thorium (Th) and uranium (U). The surveys covered large parts of Greenland and were conducted to support regional geological mapping and mineral exploration. The data constitute a historical geophysical reference dataset for analyses of near-surface lithological variations and the distribution of radioactive elements.

The National well database (Jupiter) among other things contains water level measurements from Danish wells. The database contains water level measurements from the municipalities, the groundwater-monitoring program, the regions soil pollution investigations and from the establishment of new wells.

This repository contains maps of the thickness of late glacial and Holocene deposits in the Danish sea area, prepared as a basis for planning offshore wind. These are unconsolidated sediments that have not been overrun by the ice sheets of the ice ages, and therefore may have low geotechnical strength parameters. This is a large-scale and very general mapping, and no detailed interpretation of the distribution of sand and clay/mud/silt, respectively, has been made. In relation to the foundations of offshore wind turbines, sandy deposits will typically not pose a challenge, while soft deposits of clay, mud and silt in large thicknesses are assumed to pose foundation challenges. In addition to separate maps of the thickness of late glacial and Holocene deposits, a map of the total thickness of these two units has also been prepared, which thus constitutes a map of the total thickness of potentially soft sediments. Finally, the thickness of potentially soft sediments is used to divide the Danish sea area into categories in relation to the probability of larger thicknesses of soft sediments that could give rise to foundation challenges. Other maps are the thickness of potentially soft glacial lake sediments in the North Sea, the depth to the Pre-Quaternary surface in the waters around Bornholm, as well as the depth to the base of the Holocene deposits and the depth to the base of the late glacial deposits/top of the glacial deposits in the Danish sea area. As a supplement to the maps, a number of themes show where the late glacial and Holocene deposits are primarily expected to consist of sandy sediments. In addition, a number of themes show the Danish exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the location of conceptual geological models that can be seen in the overall report, all interpreted seismic lines, areas with near-surface gas in the sediments, interpreted distribution of the Palaeo-Elbe Valley in the North Sea, distribution of the Weichsel ice and ice-affected sediments in the North Sea, buried valleys (Prins & Andresen 2019; van der Vegt et al. 2012; Ottesen et al. 2020; Kirkham et al. 2024; Sandersen & Jørgensen 2016), structural elements (Al Hseinat & Hübscher 2017; Jensen et al. 2002), ice margin lines (Lange 1984; Kjær et al. 2003; Pedersen 2005; Phillips et al. 2018, 2022; Kirkham et al. 2024; Szuman et al. 2024; Pedersen & Boldreel 2017). The data basis for the work has primarily been new and existing near-surface seismic data and vibrocore drilling. The mapping was carried out for the Danish Energy Agency by GEUS, and is intended to support the development of offshore wind. The results, together with a sensitivity mapping of natural and environmental parameters, initiated by the Danish Energy Agency, are to be included in an overall assessment of suitable areas for offshore wind in Denmark.

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.

The dataset comprises a geological map of the Danish Central Graben at a scale of 1:200,000 presenting regional maps of ‘Base Chalk’ and the Chalk Group in terms of two-way travel time, depth, interval velocity and vertical thickness (isochore). The map was published in 1995 as part of the DGU Map Series no. 48 and was produced as part of a comprehensive geological mapping of the Danish Central Graben. The mapping is based on regional interpretation of seismic data supplemented by information from boreholes. The map covers the Danish part of the Central Graben and parts of the eastern North Sea, and adjacent areas in the Norwegian, British and German sectors are included in order to define regional structural relationships. The map sheet consists of several thematic sub-maps that together describe the structure and stratigraphy of the area.

The dataset contains recorded earthquakes and seismic events in Greenland. The data include information on event time, geographic location (epicentre), depth and magnitude for confirmed and suspected earthquakes. The dataset is based on observations from GEUS’ seismic monitoring network and is used for monitoring, research and dissemination of seismic activity in Greenland.

The dataset comprises a geological map of the Danish Basin at a scale of 1:400,000 presenting regional thematic maps of the Base Chalk and the Chalk Group. The map was published in 1993 as part of the DGU Map Series no. 29 and was produced as part of regional geological mapping of the basin. The mapping is based on interpretation of seismic data supplemented by information from deep onshore and offshore boreholes. The dataset consists of several thematic sub-maps that together show the depth to the Base Chalk and the vertical thickness (isochore) of the Chalk Group. The map covers the Danish Basin and adjacent areas and was produced to support regional structural and stratigraphic interpretation.
