The dataset contains geochemical analytical results for 725 heavy mineral concentrate samples collected by GEUS in Greenland as part of various geological mapping and mineral exploration activities. The samples originate from several campaigns, including a regional campaign conducted between 1982 and 1986 in the Nuuk area, a 1991 campaign in the southern Nuuk region, and samples collected in 2003 in the Qaanaaq region. Additional samples derive from smaller projects and campaigns with limited documentation. Analyses were carried out at different laboratories, including Activation Laboratories and Bondar-Clegg in Canada and Risø National Laboratory in Denmark. The dataset contains raw analytical results, and metadata concerning sampling procedures and analytical quality are not complete for all samples.

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.

The geological map of Greenland at a scale of 1:500 000 is based on 14 digitised map sheets covering the whole of Greenland, with amendments in specific areas (Pedersen et al. 2013, GEUS Bulletin, DOI: 10.34194/geusb.v28.4727). The original digital version of the map was released through the Greenland Portal in 2012. Continued advances in geological knowledge have necessitated successive revisions in order to keep the map up to date. During the most recent update, a number of geographical areas were revised based on new geological data and interpretations, including parts of West Greenland, North Greenland, North-East Greenland, East Greenland and South-East Greenland. The updated map incorporates revised stratigraphic interpretations and improved representation of geological units and structures. The map has undergone extensive quality control, including complete harmonisation of lineaments and structural elements across map-sheet boundaries. The geological legend is dynamic and reflects the content of the current map view. Geological units are supported by descriptive information, and for most map polygons links are provided to a geological unit database containing further descriptions.

The dataset represents an index layer showing the geographic extent of archived and unpublished historical geological maps and sections from Greenland. The layer functions as a search and reference tool and does not contain the original map material. The dataset supports identification and access to historical geological archive documents.

This dataset represents a geological map of the pre-Quaternary surface in Denmark, compiled by Håkansson & Pedersen (1992). The map illustrates the geological delineation and extent of pre-Quaternary formations beneath the Quaternary deposits and is based on geological observations, borehole data and previous interpretations. The dataset provides a regional overview of the pre-Quaternary geological surface and its characteristics as a basis for further geological interpretation. Reference: Stenestad, E. 1982: Karst. Varv, 4, pp. 113-119.

The dataset comprises a geological structural map of the Danish Basin at a scale of 1:500,000 showing the structure of the chalk surface (Top Chalk). The map was published in 1991 as part of the DGU Map Series no. 7 and is based on regional geological interpretation of borehole data and seismic data. The data basis includes deep onshore boreholes, seismic profiles from hydrocarbon exploration, and seismic surveys from the inner Danish waters. The map covers Denmark and adjacent marine areas and was produced to support regional geological understanding of the structure of the chalk surface in the Danish Basin.

The dataset comprises regional airborne radiometric measurements acquired in Greenland during 1975–1982 as part of systematic geophysical mapping programmes. The measurements were collected using aircraft-mounted gamma spectrometers and record natural gamma radiation from potassium (K), thorium (Th) and uranium (U). The surveys covered large parts of Greenland and were conducted to support regional geological mapping and mineral exploration. The data constitute a historical geophysical reference dataset for analyses of near-surface lithological variations and the distribution of radioactive elements.

The dataset contains aeromagnetic measurements acquired during 1993–1996 in East and North-East Greenland as part of the AWI-AEROMAG project conducted by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). The measurements represent regional airborne magnetometry and include total magnetic field intensity corrected for diurnal variations and the main geomagnetic field. The survey was carried out to support geological mapping and tectonic analysis of eastern Greenland. The dataset constitutes an important geophysical reference for studies of crystalline basement rocks, sedimentary basins and structural features in the region.

The dataset contains geochemical sample data from four company reports submitted to the Ministry of Mineral Resources (MMR) and previously to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). The reports were originally delivered in paper format and later scanned. The geochemical data have been digitally restored through optical character recognition of scanned documents and georeferencing of sample locations. The dataset has been uploaded to the GEUS sample database with necessary adjustments to sample names and metadata. The dataset includes samples with coordinates but without geochemical analyses, as well as samples with analyses lacking unambiguous coordinates.

The dataset represents a layered 3D geological model of the Danish subsurface based on integration of reflection seismic data, borehole data, wireline logs and lithological information. The model comprises 17 stratigraphic units from the Upper Permian to the Danian and is structured as a layered digital elevation model (LDEM) consisting of 17 grid surfaces with a spatial resolution of 400 x 400 metres. The underlying data have been interpreted from seismic profiles and calibrated against deep wells, enabling the construction of depth and isochore maps for each unit. The dataset covers onshore Denmark and the inner Danish waters and represents the structural and stratigraphic framework of the Danish Basin and the northern part of the North German Basin. The model provides a basis for analysis of the geological evolution and spatial variability of the subsurface.
