Soil contamination, V1 surfaces

Soil contamination, Discontinued after mapping (UEK). Sites where a clean-up has been carried out so that they are not identified as contaminated (V2). In addition, there are sites in this category where it has been assessed whether they should be mapped as possible contaminated (V1) but where the site is acquitted on the basis of the historical information. DK-Earth contains data on soil contamination. Data have been collected in connection with the work of the regions and the former counties on mapping, studies, etc. concerning soil contamination. DK-Earth contains information on which areas have been identified at knowledge level 1 (V1) or knowledge level 2 (V2), cf. the Soil Pollution Act. DK-Jord also contains information on which areas have been located (LOK), deleted before mapping (UIK) or deleted after mapping (UEK). Localised areas are the areas on which the region has information that has not yet been assessed in relation to mapping, cf. the Soil Pollution Act. Data is associated with localities and a locality may contain multiple cadastral/areas. No data are reported on localised areas in Copenhagen and Tårnby municipality. Please note that other additional data that exist at site level may not be applicable to all cadastre/areas under each site. It should also be noted that other supplementary data may vary in scope and quality. We reserve the right for any input errors, and we would like to point out that DK-Jord is continuously updated.

This dataset represents a nationwide digital geological map of superficial deposits in Denmark at a scale of 1:200.000. The map shows the classification and distribution of near-surface deposits, primarily glacial and post-glacial sediments. The dataset is based on the Digital Soil and Sediment Map of Denmark at 1:25.000 in areas where detailed mapping is available. In other areas, the distribution of deposits has been interpreted based on borehole data, landscape analysis and other available geological information. The deposits are classified into 12 generalised types, making the dataset a simplified and generalised version of the detailed 1:25.000 map. The dataset provides a national overview of superficial deposits and serves as a reference for regional and national applications. Official metadata Purpose The purpose of the dataset is to provide a consistent, nationwide digital map of superficial deposits in Denmark. The map is used as a basis for geological interpretation, environmental management, land-use planning, resource assessment, as well as education and research. Supplemental Information The dataset is an interpretation-based national map product and is not subject to continuous updates. It represents a generalised overview of the distribution of superficial deposits at the ground surface and should be used in conjunction with more detailed maps and local data where higher spatial resolution or detailed stratigraphic information is required. Lineage The dataset was compiled by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and represents version 2 of the digital superficial deposits map at a scale of 1:200.000. The map is based on the compilation and harmonisation of existing geological maps, borehole data, geomorphological analyses and previous Quaternary geological investigations. Version 2 includes updates and improvements compared to earlier versions, including revised deposit boundaries and classifications based on new knowledge and quality assurance. During compilation of the dataset, generalisation and adjustments have been applied in certain areas, resulting in a spatial uncertainty of up to approximately 200 m, locally slightly more. The dataset is designed as an overview map at a scale of 1:200.000 and is suitable for educational purposes, regional-scale analyses and as background information for other thematic maps. The dataset is not subject to continuous updates and was published in GEUS Report 2011/19. Mapping of superficial deposits in Denmark has been a core task of the Danish geological surveys since the establishment of the Geological Survey of Denmark (DGU) in 1888. The digital superficial deposits map at a scale of 1:200.000, version 2, builds on this long mapping tradition but represents a modern digital compilation and interpretation based on more recent data and methods.

Topographic maps of Denmark describe the terrain with landscape forms, land use, buildings and roads, and provide an overview of the landscape and the various geographical elements of an area. The map 1:1.000.000 shows the main cities, roads, railways, airports and ferry routes.

Nature and outdoor maps are suitable for communication, planning and implementation of activities and experiences in nature. The map can also be used as a background map in applications targeting nature and outdoor life, where it can be used alone or combined with other data.

The Digital Atlas of Denmark's Historical-Administrative Geography (DigDag) is a historical-geographical data collection of Denmark's administrative division from about 1660 until the present day. DigDag is funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Development under the National Fund for Research Infrastructure. DigDag Judicial includes Denmark's judicial divisions.

The Denmark map is a multi-scalable topographic map with a special focus on scale 1:25,000. The level of detail in the map is high and describes the landscape with associated place names.
