DK model 2019 – Calibration statistics comprises spatial and statistical results from the calibration and evaluation of GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset documents model performance for groundwater heads and stream discharge, including statistical measures such as RMSE and mean error for groundwater heads as well as WBE, summer WBE and KGE for streamflow simulations. The calibration was carried out using dynamic model runs and inverse parameter estimation with PEST based on observed groundwater heads and daily discharge data for the period 2000–2010. The dataset is intended for assessing the suitability of DK model 2019 for regional analyses, screening and further use. The calibration statistics describe model performance at national and regional scales and should not by themselves be used as documentation of local-scale model accuracy.

DK model 2019 – Simulation results comprises calculated hydrological results from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset contains derived results from model runs with DK model 2019, including calculations of water balance, groundwater recharge, impacts of water abstraction, groundwater drawdown, streamflow impacts and changes in flow-related indicators. The results include, among other outputs, comparisons between scenarios with current abstraction and reference scenarios without abstraction. The dataset is used for regional assessment of hydrological conditions, screening of water resource and impact conditions, and documentation of model-calculated results. The results are model-based and should be used with due consideration of the regional purpose, model uncertainties and limitations of DK model in relation to local-scale applications.

The dataset comprises a geological map of the Danish Central Graben at a scale of 1:200,000 presenting regional maps of ‘Top Chalk’ and the Post-Chalk Group in terms of two-way travel time, depth and interval velocity. The map was published in 1995 as part of the DGU Map Series no. 47 and was produced as part of a comprehensive geological mapping of the Danish Central Graben. The mapping is based on interpretation of seismic data supplemented by information from boreholes. The map covers the Danish part of the Central Graben and parts of the eastern North Sea block, and adjacent areas in the Norwegian, British and German sectors are included where data were available in order to define regional structural relationships. The map sheet comprises several thematic sub-maps that together describe regional variations in structure and stratigraphy.

This dataset represents a map of ice margin lines and related localities in Scandinavia, illustrating the gradual deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the last glaciation, the Weichsel Ice Age. The map depicts the ice sheet extent in five main deglaciation phases, as well as the occurrence of recent ice caps, ice-margin localities, De Geer moraines, ice margin lines and hypothetical ice margin lines. The dataset was compiled in 1995 in connection with TemaNord and presents a regional overview of the deglaciation history of Scandinavia. GEUS has provided technical input in producing the ice margin map.

This dataset represents the structure and topography of the Top Chalk surface, i.e. the top of the Chalk Group (including Upper Cretaceous to Danian), in the Danish subsurface. The map illustrates regional variations in the depth and structural configuration of the chalk surface from the central North Sea to the eastern Danish areas. It is based on an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation of seismic profiles, well data and earlier mapping. The map provides an essential basis for geological, geophysical and subsurface reservoir analyses.

This dataset depicts the depth to the top of the pre-Zechstein succession in the Danish subsurface. The map represents the structural surface beneath the Zechstein evaporites and provides a regional overview of the geological framework of the subsurface. The dataset is based on interpretation of seismic data, deep boreholes and previous geological mapping and was produced as part of the Geological Survey of Denmark map series no. 45. The map is used as a reference for regional structural geology and subsurface modelling.

The National well database (Jupiter) among other things contains water level measurements from Danish wells. The database contains water level measurements from the municipalities, the groundwater-monitoring program, the regions soil pollution investigations and from the establishment of new wells.

The dataset comprises more than 6,400 oblique aerial photographs acquired during the systematic 1:500,000 geological mapping programme in North Greenland carried out by the Geological Survey of Greenland (now GEUS) between 1978 and 1985. The photographs document steep fjord and valley walls and were collected as part of geological field investigations. The images have been digitised and made available through a web-based interface, allowing users to access individual photographs, their geographic locations and associated geological coding linked to the regional geological map. The dataset represents a systematic visual documentation of geological features in North and Northeast Greenland.

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.

This dataset comprises calibrated geochemical data from stream sediment and soil samples collected in North Greenland between 1978 and 1999, supplemented by extensive reanalyses in 2011. The dataset includes selected elements relevant for the evaluation of zinc mineralisation: CaO, K₂O, Ba, Cu, Sr and Zn. A total of 2,469 stream sediment samples and 204 soil samples were included. The analytical values represent the most reliable results following systematic quality control and calibration procedures designed to eliminate bias between analytical methods and analytical periods, as described in Thrane et al. (2011). All values below detection limit are coded as 0 in the dataset. The dataset supports regional assessment of geochemical patterns and mineral potential in North Greenland.
