GreenlandThermalSprings

From GEUS Dataverse website: This dataset provides a comprehensive record of thermal springs across Greenland’s ice-free margins. Thermal springs have temperatures ranging from near freezing to over 60°C. The inventory consolidates records from over a century of scientific literature, field observations, Greenlandic placenames, satellite imagery, and geological maps. The database contains documented spring localities, each with detailed metadata. Attributes include name, coordinates, geological setting, source type, in-situ visit records, contributor, source DOI if possible, and a confidence score reflecting location accuracy. For springs identified through linguistic sources, the language root, original term, and translation are included. Where available, in-situ measurements of temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen content, and discharge are recorded. Coordinates are provided in latitude and longitude and converted to NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North (EPSG:3413). Positional uncertainty is estimated per site, with historical records generally being less precise. Elevations are interpolated from ArcticDEM v3, lithology from the Geological Map of Greenland 2.0, and 2 m annual mean air temperature from CARRA reanalysis. The dataset supports interdisciplinary research, conservation planning, and monitoring of Greenland’s thermal springs. It is a living resouce, with procedures provided for adding new records or updating existing ones.
