The Geological Map of Greenland at scale 1:2.500.000 provides a comprehensive regional synthesis of the geological evolution of Greenland from the earliest Archaean to the Quaternary. The map presents an integrated overview of Greenland’s geological framework, including Precambrian crystalline basement provinces, major orogenic belts, Phanerozoic sedimentary basins and widespread volcanic provinces. Greenland is characterised by large exposures of continental crust dominated by Archaean and early Proterozoic shield rocks that stabilised as part of the Laurentian shield. Younger geological elements are mainly developed along the margins of the shield, where sedimentation, deformation and magmatic activity reflect successive tectonic regimes through time. The map illustrates the distribution and relationships of these geological units and highlights the structural and stratigraphic architecture of Greenland and adjacent offshore areas. The map integrates onshore and offshore geological information and serves as a regional reference for geological interpretation, research, education and resource-related studies in Greenland.

This dataset represents the structure and topography of the Top Chalk surface, i.e. the top of the Chalk Group (including Upper Cretaceous to Danian), in the Danish subsurface. The map illustrates regional variations in the depth and structural configuration of the chalk surface from the central North Sea to the eastern Danish areas. It is based on an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation of seismic profiles, well data and earlier mapping. The map provides an essential basis for geological, geophysical and subsurface reservoir analyses.

The dataset comprises a systematic inventory of onshore petroleum seeps and stains in Greenland. The inventory includes information on approximately 130 localities distributed across Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary basins in Greenland. For each locality, coordinates, site descriptions, classification of seep type, geological context, sample numbers and references to reports and publications are recorded. The classification includes oil seeps, gas seeps, mud diapirs and gas-rich springs, oil stains in volcanics, carbonates and sandstones, solid macroscopic bitumen, and fluid inclusions and other evidence of micro-seepage. The dataset synthesises existing knowledge of petroleum systems in Greenland and provides a comprehensive overview of documented natural hydrocarbon occurrences onshore.

Kartet viser utbredelsen av steinkobbe. Latin name: Phoca vitulina. Family: Phocidae. Distribution: Sub Arctic waters along the east and west coasts of both the North Atlantic and north Pacific. In Norway they occur in colonies along the Norwegian mainland coast and on Prins Karls Forland in Svalbard. The harbour seals occur mainly in nearshore areas that are protected against wave action.

The Geomorphological Map of Denmark, version 3 (2022), depicts landscape types across Denmark at a scale of 1:200.000. The landscape types are defined based on shared geomorphological characteristics that can be related to the processes responsible for their formation. Most landscape types were formed during Quaternary glaciations and by meltwater from the glaciers, while the map also includes post-glacial landscapes such as marine and coastal environments, river valleys, lakes and wetlands, as well as aeolian landforms. The map further reflects landscape features influenced by pre-Quaternary bedrock, including exposed crystalline basement on Bornholm and chalk formations in northern Jutland, as well as surface features related to subsurface structural movements. Anthropogenic landscapes resulting from land reclamation, drainage, excavation, and infilling are also represented. The map is based on systematic geomorphological mapping and interpretation of landforms derived from geological data, terrain analysis and existing cartographic material.

The dataset comprises digital element distribution maps based on geochemical analyses of stream sediments collected in West and South Greenland. The maps were produced as part of the geochemical mapping programme underlying the Geochemical Atlas of West and South Greenland. The data represent analyses of various elements in defined grain-size fractions and provide a regional overview of geochemical variations.
