Element Distribution in Stream Sediments in West and South Greenland
The dataset comprises digital element distribution maps based on geochemical analyses of stream sediments collected in West and South Greenland. The maps were produced as part of the geochemical mapping programme underlying the Geochemical Atlas of West and South Greenland. The data represent analyses of various elements in defined grain-size fractions and provide a regional overview of geochemical variations.

Stream sediment samples were collected systematically in West and South Greenland and analysed for a range of elements. Samples were dried, sieved and analysed using laboratory methods applicable at the time. The digital maps were generated through interpolation of the analytical results and represent a regional generalisation of measured concentrations. Methodological details are described in the associated atlas publication.
