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 Height and Depth Map of Denmark is a coherent map showing both land elevation above sea level and sea depth within the Danish area. The map is based on elevation and bathymetric data represented by 5-metre contour intervals closed to polygons and provides continuous coverage across the land–sea boundary. The dataset offers an integrated overview of terrain and bathymetry in Denmark and surrounding waters. The terrestrial elevation component is derived from topographic data suitable for use at scales down to approximately 1:25.000, while the bathymetric component is compiled from datasets of varying origin and resolution. The map was originally assembled around 1997, with subsequent updates to the Danish land areas carried out during 2005–2006. The dataset is primarily intended for regional visualisation and analysis.

The dataset is an Imhof-inspired cartographic base map combining topography and bathymetry, covering European countries and adjacent marine areas. The map has been constructed by merging several existing digital elevation models, with topography primarily based on EU-DEM v1.1 and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and bathymetry derived from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). The dataset provides a continuous surface integrating land and marine areas and has been developed with a focus on visual quality and regional applications.

This dataset represents the pre-Quaternary surface topography of Denmark, including Kattegat, internal waters and the sea around Bornholm. The map provides a paleotopographic relief of the surface that existed prior to deposition of Quaternary sediments, compiled from geological borehole data, seismic surveys and topographic sources. It includes polygons with 25 m contour intervals, a 500 m grid and boundary delineations, usable in combination with a standard elevation model to determine Quaternary cover thickness. The base map was hand-drawn at 1:250,000 scale and forms a nationwide thematic map product. The map is described in DGU map series no. 44, 1994.

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 consists of three different datasets with combined place names in various geological maps: Geological map of Greenland 1:2.500.000, Geological maps of Greenland 1:500.000 and Topographic map of Greenland 1:250.000. The dataset has not been updated or maintained since 2014.

The dataset shows global bathymetry based on The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) 2019. The dataset represents a continuous model of seafloor topography derived from a combination of multibeam, singlebeam and satellite altimetry data. The original global grid has been reprojected to UTM zone 24N to support regional use and integration with other geological and geophysical datasets covering Greenland and the North Atlantic.

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 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 shows the depth to the redox interface in metres below ground level across Denmark at a spatial resolution of 100 metres. The redox interface represents the transition between oxidised and reduced sediment layers and is a key hydrogeological parameter influencing processes such as nitrate reduction and groundwater chemistry. The map is based on a statistical model developed from approximately 13.000 observations of colour changes in sediment samples and represents the best estimate of the depth to the redox interface nationwide. The dataset also includes an associated uncertainty estimate describing the variability and robustness of the model results.
