The Greenland Mineral Occurrences Map (GMOM) dataset contains a compilation of geological information on known mineral occurrences in Greenland. For each occurrence, information includes geographic location, size, mineral commodities, mineralisation type, exploration history and a geological description. The data have been collected and compiled from published scientific articles, exploration reports submitted to the authorities in Greenland, and direct geological observations made during fieldwork conducted by geological surveys, academic researchers and mineral exploration companies. The dataset represents a synthesis of existing knowledge on mineral occurrences in Greenland.

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.

Layer showing the boundaries used to subset the modelling of EUSeaMap (2019) therefore streamlining the processing. Each region had a specific partner lead within the consortium: Celtic seas & Arctic - JNCC Iberian peninsula & Black Sea - Ifremer Baltic sea - GEUS Mediterranean - ISPRA

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.

Energy class layer produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats as an input layer (habitat descriptor) for the 2025 EUSeaMap broad-scale habitat model. The extent of the mapped area includes the Baltic Sea, and areas of the North Eastern Atlantic and Arctic extending from the Canary Islands in the south to Norway in the North. The map of energy classes was produced using underlying wave and current data and thresholds derived from statistical analyses or expert judgement on known conditions. This layer was updated in EUSeaMap 2025 using a the wave Kinetic energy layer at the seabed layer for the European Shelf area used in 2023 (linked in the Online Resources). An accompanying confidence layer is available for viewing and download from EMODnet Seabed Habitats - metadata is linked in the 'Composed of' section below. A report on the methods used in the 2025 version of EUSeaMap will be added in due course, but reports on previous versions (v2016, v2019, v2021 and v2023) are available in the lineage.

The topographic map of Greenland at a scale of 1:250.000 is based on data collected from the 1930s through the 1970s and 1980s. These data formed the basis for the production of a series of 1:250.000 scale topographic map sheets, which continue to serve as the primary topographic reference for large parts of Greenland. Mapping of areas prior to 1970 was based on several historical map series, including 18 map sheets at a scale of 1:300.000 covering North Greenland produced by Lauge Koch between 1932 and 1940, 1:250,000 scale mapping of parts of Northeast Greenland conducted by the Geodetic Institute in the 1930s, and complete national coverage at 1:250.000 produced by the American Army Map Service in the 1950s. The digital topographic map of North and Northeast Greenland has been produced by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) since 1977, based on high-precision digital photogrammetry using aerial photographs. The dataset has primarily been used as a topographic reference for geological mapping at scales of 1:100.000 and 1:500.000.

Energy class layer produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats as an input layer for the 2023 EUSeaMap broad-scale habitat model. The extent of the mapped area includes the Baltic Sea, and areas of the North Eastern Atlantic and Arctic extending from the Canary Islands in the south to Norway in the North. The map of energy classes was produced using underlying wave and current data and thresholds derived from statistical analyses or expert judgement on known conditions. This layer was updated in EUSeaMap 2023 using a new wave Kinetic energy at the seabed layer for the European Shelf area. A report on the methods used in the 2023 version of EUSeaMap and reports on previous versions (v2019 and V2021) are linked in Online Resources.

Arctic mask shapefile produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats as an input layer for the 2021,2023 and 2025 EUSeaMap broad-scale habitat models. Used as a proxy to delimit the Arctic zone and it is used to classify shallow habitats into Arctic habitat classes as required by the EUNIS 2022 habitat classification. Details on the methods used to classify EUSM are present in the report linked in the Online Resources (Vasquez et al., 2021a). The masks covers areas in the Barents Sea which are North of the polar front or where ice concentration exceeded 20% on average in 2018. The 20% threshold was derived from WMO ice classification and corresponds to "Very open drift ice". Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project consortium in 2021, and used in the 2023 and 2025 versions of EUSeaMap. No updates have been made to this layer. A report on the methods used to create the layer are in the 2021 version of EUSeaMap (Vasquez et al., 2021b) and reports on previous versions (v2019 and v2023) are linked in the lineage. A report on the methods used in the 2025 version of EUSeaMap will be added in due course.

Shapefile showing areas where ice concentration in the Barents Sea in 2018 was on average more than 20%. The 20% threshold was derived from WMO ice classification and corresponds to "Very open drift ice". Data averaged by Ifremer and NIVA derived from CMEMS (Copernicus) ice concentration product (resolution 1km, temporal resolution 1 year- 2018). Used in EUSeaMap 2021 to create the Arctic mask layer as an input layer for the 2021 EUSeaMap broad-scale habitat model Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project consortium. A report on the methods used in the 2021 version of EUSeaMap (Vasquez et al., 2021) and reports on previous versions (v2016 and V2019) are linked in Online Resources.

The extent of the mapped area includes the Baltic Sea, and areas of the North Eastern Atlantic and Arctic extending from the Canary Islands in the south to Norway in the North. The map of energy classes was produced using underlying wave and current data and thresholds derived from statistical analyses or expert judgement on known conditions. Detailed information on the modelling process is found in the EMODnet Seabed Habitats technical report and its appendices (Populus et al, 2017, link in Resources).
