The Greenland Mineral Resources Portal – another step forward

In April 2015, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) together with the Ministry of Mineral Resources in Greenland (MMR) made further progress in the development of web-based facilities to present and disseminate geoscientific information and data. This was presented in a new version of the Greenland Mineral Resources Portal. The portal now provides the users with access to a wealth of geological, geophysical and geochemical data – mostly free of charge (Fig. 1). The primary goal of the portal is to facilitate data searches for exploration companies, but the benefits from the easy access to geoscience data are also open to academic researchers. It is the plan to add several new functionalities to the portal in 2016, and interested users are invited to visit the portal at www. greenmin.gl on a regular basis to follow progress.
