Interactive Map Search
The interactive map gives access to many differenttypes of data from the underlying databases thatare continuously updated and supplemented toensure high quality and comprehensive datasets.Different kinds of search and filtering functionalitymakes custom queries easy and metadata as wellas detailed information for individual data recordsprovides good information about the content. Forsome data types such as geophysical and
geochemical data simple add to basket buttonsmakes it easy to gather data of interest that can then subsequently be checked out and downloaded. Additional types of data as well asnew or improved functionality are continuouslyadded to the Greenland Mineral Resources Portalto fulfil the vision of the portal as being the one-stop shop to geoscience information fromGreenland.
