The Greenland Geochronology Database is a systematic compilation of published U-Pb geochronological data from Greenland. The dataset integrates age determinations from a wide range of scientific publications and normalises isotopic ratios and uncertainties into a consistent format, with all analytical errors reported at the 1 sigma level. Ratios have been verified against reported ages and corrected where necessary to ensure internal consistency. The database is structured to enable efficient querying and cross-comparison of geochronological information derived using different analytical standards.

The dataset comprises a topographic map of Northeast Greenland delivered as a digital elevation model (DEM) with a spatial resolution of 8 metres. The DEM is provided as GeoTIFF and represents a seamless elevation surface covering the study area. The dataset was produced using input data from the ArcticDEM project, which is based on stereo imagery from the DigitalGlobe WorldView-1, WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 satellites. The elevation model integrates selected DEM strips recorded between 2012 and 2015 and has been processed to ensure consistency and continuity across the mosaic.

The dataset comprises geochemical analyses of 1,269 soil samples collected in Greenland from 1974 onwards as part of systematic geochemical mapping and mineral exploration programmes. Soil samples were primarily collected in areas lacking developed stream channels where stream sediment sampling was not feasible. The samples represent surface material and have been analysed for major and trace elements using various laboratory methods including X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INA), Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometry (ICP), and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The dataset contains the original analytical results as received from the laboratories together with administrative information on sample location and analysed grain-size fraction. The data form part of the analytical basis for the Geochemical Atlas of West and South Greenland.

This dataset shows the percentage nitrogen retention in Denmark, i.e. the proportion of nitrogen leached from the root zone that is transformed or retained in the subsurface and surface waters before reaching the coast. Nitrogen retention is calculated using the National Nitrogen Model and represents an average retention for the period 1990–2010. The dataset provides nationwide coverage of spatial variations in nitrogen retention and is used as a basis for assessing nitrogen transport and coastal nutrient loading. The National Nitrogen Model version 2020 is documented in National Nitrogen Model – version 2020, a GEUS special report, including a method report (ISBN 978-87-7871-551-7) and an appendix (ISBN 978-87-7871-552-4), both available from GEUS (in danish).

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 North Atlantic current (red arrows) originates in the hot and salty Gulf Stream which flows out of the Mexican gulf and follows the east coast of the USA. When this current leaves the continental shelf and moves across the North Atlantic itâs often called the North Atlantic current. The North Atlantic current provides a significant amount of heat transport to northern Europe. This heat transport is greatest in winter because the current velocity is greater in that part of the year. The North Atlantic current keeps a very constant temperature and salinity throughout the year. It gradually looses heat and salinity as it flows towards the north east and gets mixed with colder and less salty water. At the south western part of the map where the current leaves the American continental shelf the surface temperature is 15-20 oC and the salinity is approximately 36. When it reaches the inlet to the Barents Sea the surface temperature is reduced to 5 oC in the winter and 10 oC in the summer, while the salinity stays at 35 throughout the year.The North Atlantic current continues into the Polar seas through the Fram Strait west of Svalbard and into the Barents Sea (pink arrows). When it reaches these areas its quickly chilled to 2-3 oC and the salinity sinks towards 34.7.The cooling of the North Atlantic current happens when it comes into contact with the colder and less salty Arctic current (blue arrows) that flows south west towards Svalbardâs east coast, south out of the Fram Strait and south out of the Davids Strait between Greenland and Canada. This current has salinity below 34 and the temperature is between -2 oC and +2 oC. In the same way as the North Atlantic current cools on the way north east the Arctic current heats up on its way towards the south west. The Arctic current does however give a significant colder climate around the coast of Greenland and along the Canadian Labrador- and Newfoundland-coasts compared to Europe coasts.Close to the coasts both on the eastern and western side of the North Atlantic there are lighter coastal currents with salinity between 25 and 34 (green arrows). In these areas both the temperature and salinity varies greatly throughout the season. They are warmer then the North Atlantic current during the summer and colder during the winter. In the same way the salinity varies greatly throughout the year because of the varying freshwater runoffs from land.

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.
