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.

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.

Nationwide geophysical database for environmental and raw material data, also known as GERDA (GEophysical Relational DAtabase). The database contains various types of geophysics, including geoelectrics, electromagnetics, borehole logs and seismic. All data is freely available for download on the GEUS website. The database is updated continuously.

Results from laboratory analyses of related to monitoring the quality of water wells and drinking water taps in household. This dataset is part of GEUS' nation-wide database for shallow boreholes, the common public database and is part of Denmarks Environmental Portal. The database is publicly available and is continually updated.

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 represents a regional compilation of terrestrial, marine, airborne and satellite-derived gravity data for Greenland, prepared by DTU Space. The compilation includes calculation of free-air (Faye) and terrain-corrected Bouguer anomalies based on homogenised gravity observations. In areas lacking direct measurements, satellite-derived gravity models have been applied as supplementary data. Over the Greenland Ice Sheet, Bouguer anomalies are calculated using an ice thickness model based on Bamber et al. (2013). The dataset provides a regional gravity framework for geological and geophysical interpretation.

The Regional AEROMAG 1992–2013 Surveys comprise a compilation of high-resolution airborne magnetic surveys acquired by GGU/GEUS between 1993 and 2013 and financed by the Government of Greenland. The overlapping surveys cover approximately 300,000 km² and include the total ice-free onshore areas and near-coastal offshore regions of West Greenland, South Greenland and southern East Greenland. All surveys were acquired using aircraft with similar flight parameters, including line spacings of 500–1,000 m and cross-line spacing of approximately 5,000 m, and with flight altitudes of about 300 m above ground level or seafloor along gently draped surfaces. These consistent acquisition parameters allow the individual surveys to be integrated into a coherent, high-quality regional magnetic data compilation. The total magnetic anomaly map was generated by merging grids from separately processed datasets using the grid-knitting module in Oasis Montaj. The data are IGRF-corrected but not reduced to the pole, and the crustal magnetic field model MF7 was used as a regional reference grid during compilation.

The dataset contains polygons representing selected protected and regulated areas in Greenland relevant to mineral activities. The areas include UNESCO World Heritage Sites, nature protection areas, and zones with specific restrictions or prohibitions on mineral activities. The dataset is converted from a WFS service provided by the Ministry of Mineral Resources in Greenland and is used as a geographic reference in the assessment of exploration and exploitation licences. The polygons represent administrative boundaries and do not constitute a legally binding representation of current legislation.
