The Geological Map of Greenland at scale 1:2.500.000 provides a comprehensive regional synthesis of the geological evolution of Greenland from the earliest Archaean to the Quaternary. The map presents an integrated overview of Greenland’s geological framework, including Precambrian crystalline basement provinces, major orogenic belts, Phanerozoic sedimentary basins and widespread volcanic provinces. Greenland is characterised by large exposures of continental crust dominated by Archaean and early Proterozoic shield rocks that stabilised as part of the Laurentian shield. Younger geological elements are mainly developed along the margins of the shield, where sedimentation, deformation and magmatic activity reflect successive tectonic regimes through time. The map illustrates the distribution and relationships of these geological units and highlights the structural and stratigraphic architecture of Greenland and adjacent offshore areas. The map integrates onshore and offshore geological information and serves as a regional reference for geological interpretation, research, education and resource-related studies in Greenland.

This dataset provides access to non-confidential mineral exploration licence reports and other geoscientific reports submitted to the Greenlandic authorities in accordance with the Mineral Resources Act of Greenland (effective 1 January 2010) and associated regulations. The reports are subsequently transferred to GEUS for archiving and dissemination. The database allows users to search reports using alphanumeric and geographic criteria, to access report metadata and to download available reports as PDF files. The dataset supports transparency and accessibility of geoscientific information related to mineral exploration activities in Greenland.

The dataset consists of a series of ASTER band ratios combined into colour composite images designed to highlight mineralogical distributions and lithological variability in Northeast Greenland. The ASTER scenes were preprocessed with atmospheric, radiometric and topographic corrections, including radiative transfer modelling using ATCOR-3 in rugged terrain mode. A surface elevation model was applied to adjust illumination effects. Non-outcrop pixels were masked prior to generating the final mosaic. Calibrated radiance data were converted to apparent surface reflectance; however, further calibration against ground-based reflectance measurements was not feasible. The dataset represents a derived remote sensing product and not primary satellite data.

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 main geological environments in Greenland and their mineral resources have been described and divided into four main geological environments: infracrustal regions, supracrustal regions, magmatic provinces and sedimentary basin regions. Within the various geological environments, characteristic mineral deposits are outlined. Within the infracrustal environment, relatively few mineral occurrences are recorded in Greenland, but three types are described: gold in gneiss, nickel and copper in mafic intrusions, and olivine in ultramafic rocks. For more detailed information, reference is made to the report Greenland geological environments and mineral resources.

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 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.

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.

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.

This dataset provides a national overview of all registered earthquakes in Denmark, including time, location, depth and magnitude. The recordings are based on data from GEUS’ national seismic network and comprise both measured earthquakes and subsequently quality-assured observations. The dataset is continuously updated and reflects the best scientific assessment of seismic activity in Denmark, where improved instrumentation and analysis today allow detection of much weaker tremors than historically.
