The dataset contains geochemical analyses of 49 scree (talus) samples collected in Greenland as part of regional geochemical mapping programmes conducted by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU), later GEUS, between 1977 and 1997. Scree samples were collected in areas where neither stream sediment nor soil sampling was feasible. The samples represent near-surface material derived from local bedrock and were analysed for major and trace elements using laboratory methods available at the time of collection. The dataset supplements regional geochemical data from stream sediment and soil samples and forms part of the overall basis for geochemical mapping in Greenland.

This dataset contains a seamless digital geological map of the Karrat area in central West Greenland based on four geological map sheets at a scale of 1:100 000: Maarmorilik 71 V.2 South, Nuugaatsiaq 71 V.2 North, Pannertooq 72 V.2 South and Svartenhuk 71 V.1 North. Geological mapping was carried out in the fjord regions north of Uummannaq as part of a collaborative project between the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Justice of Greenland. The dataset is based on 3D photogeology using more than 35,000 oblique photographs collected during three field seasons combined with traditional field observations and subsequent geochemical and geochronological analyses. The dataset provides an updated geological understanding of the meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks of the Karrat Group, the structural evolution of the Rinkian Orogen and the structure of the West Greenland Basalt Group. The dataset supports geological research, regional geological mapping and mineral exploration.

The data set shows data on ship traffic in the period 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 distributed in a grid of 250 x 250 meters. The data show all ships with class A AIS transponders. The data source is Havbase. The stronger the color the more passes of the route in the period. This provides a good overview of the large traffic flows.

The dataset contains polygons representing historical exploration and exploitation licences for mineral resources in Greenland. The data are based on geographic information provided via WFS by the Ministry of Mineral Resources in Greenland and are redistributed without modification of the original boundaries. The dataset provides an overview of former licence areas and their spatial extent.

Ujarassiorit is Greenland’s national mineral hunt, a public competition open to residents of Greenland. The initiative encourages participants to collect and submit rock samples from anywhere in Greenland to the Ministry of Mineral Resources for geological evaluation. Submitted samples are assessed by geologists, and selected participants may be awarded prizes. The purpose of Ujarassiorit is to increase public awareness of Greenland’s mineral resources and to support mineral exploration by identifying areas of geological interest through public participation. The initiative contributes to the collection of geological information and promotes engagement with geoscience among the population.
