geusb: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called geusb.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Denmark; Data; Formation; North; Sea; East; Ice; Jurassic; Basin; West; Area; Danish; Rocks; Marine; Bulletin; Zone; Geus; Survey; Surface; Water; Sand; Samples; Age; Sandstones; Fault; Chalk; Groundwater; Core; Facies; Unit; Group; Gas; Sediments; Log; Oil; Complex; Nielsen; Reservoir; Lake; Region; Temperature; Quartz; Areas; Zircon; Sediment; Till; Basalt; Storage; Intrusion; Gold; Energy; Time; Project; Archaean; Database; Rock; Material; Disko; Analysis; Stations; Wave; Klint; Soil; Earthquakes; Inclusions; Edulis; Garde; Pge; Dimension
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

- Late Triassic – Jurassic development of the Danish Basin and the Fennoscandian Border Zone, southern Scandinavia by Nielsen, Lars H (2003) - The number of Upper Triassic – Lower Jurassic sequences in the Danish area equals that of Haq et al. (1988), whereas Partington et al. (1993) and Underhill & Partington (1994) recog- nised many fewer sequences. The well logs supported by cores indi- cate that the upper 15 m of the highstand systems tract consist of prograding lower shoreface sandstones 496 (Fig. 22, following page 498).

- Burial depth and post-Early Cretaceous uplift of Lower–Middle Jurassic strata in the Fennoscandian Border Zone based on organic maturity by Petersen, Henrik I; Nielsen, Lars H; Bidstrup, Torben; Thomsen, Erik (2003) - This relationship can then be used to estimate the maximum burial depths and later uplift of Jurassic coal seams in the Fennoscandian Border Zone. In order to avoid complications due to the late Early Jurassic – Middle Jurassic uplift of the Ring- købing–Fyn High and the southern parts of the basin, the majority of the data used for construction of the curve comes from well-sections that experienced continued subsidence or only limited uplift and erosion during this phase (Nielsen 1995).

- The Middle Jurassic of western and northern Europe: its subdivisions, geochronology and correlations by Callomon, John H (2003) - Taking the most optimistic estimate (see, for example, discussion by Hallam 1988) of, say, + 200 m for the Jurassic as a whole, this would suggest a mean value in the region of 50–100 m for thicknesses of epicontinental marine Middle Jurassic sediments that could be ascribed to eustatically-created accommodation space. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 1, 61-73 61 Middle Jurassic sediments occur in almost all parts of what is conventionally drawn as the present-day con- tinent of Europe – from Portugal to the Caucasus, Sicily to Svalbard, the Hebrides to the Petshora – but in the context of the present book, we shall confine ourselves essentially to western and northern Europe, broadly from the Alps to the Arctic (Fig. 1).

- Ablation observations for 2008–2011 from the Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) by Fausto, Robert S; van As, Dirk (2012) - By measuring on a (sub-)daily timescale, the pressure transducer assembly is well suited to monitor ice ablation in remote regions, with clear advantages over other well-estab- lished methods. The geographical distribution and annual net ablation records in Table 2 show that for all station pairs, the lower stations measure larger ablation totals than the upper ones, because the temperature decreases with elevation and the seasonal averaged surface albedo decreases towards the ice margin.

- Gold-hosting supracrustal rocks on Storø, southern West Greenland: lithologies and geological environment by Knudsen, Christian; van Gool, Jeroen A M; Østergaard, Claus; Hollis, Julie A; Rink-Jørgensen, Matilde; Persson, Mac; Szilas, Kristoffer (2007) - The prospect is at present being explored by the Greenlandic mining company NunaMinerals A/S. Amphibolites likely to be derived from basaltic volcanic rocks dominate, and ultrabasic to intermediate rocks are also inter- preted to be derived from volcanic rocks. The next sequence of supracrustal rocks was formed at c. 3.1–3.07 Ga, intruded by tonalites at c. 3.07–3.05 Ga, and deformed and metamorphosed at c. 2.98 Ga.

- Semi-conventional play: definition, exploration strategy and the example of the Chalk Group in Denmark by Sandrin, Alessandro (2020) - Hydrocarbon entry-points When performing conventional play analysis, it is often assumed that vertical migration in the reservoir from the source rock happens everywhere within the play area where the source rock is (1) present, (2) of good quality and (3) matured at the right time – in relation to the trap formation. In conventional oil plays, charge normally includes information on source rock presence, quality, maturity, timing and migration.

Inset: events in the area in the Danish North Sea with many events recorded but no known explosions. Keywords: earthquakes; events; explosions; magnitude; stations
- Crustal structure over the Nagssugtoqidian deformation front in West Greenland: Receiver Function analysis by Dahl-Jensen, Trine; Voss, Peter H; Larsen, Tine B (2016) - Rasmussen, T.M. & van Gool, J.A. 2000: Aeromagnetic survey in southern West Greenland: project Aeromag 1999. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 35, 79–82. Open access: www.geus.dk/publications/bull A marked change in crustal thickness is seen at the defor- mation boundary between the undisturbed Archaean core in the south and reworked Archaean gneiss in the foreland of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen in West Greenland. Keywords: deformation; greenland; profile; stations
Wave
- Acoustic events on a small seismological network – shock waves from thunder and fireballs by Voss, Peter H.; Dahl-Jensen, Trine; Larsen, Tine B. (2015) - But from time to time other sources than earthquakes generate seismic signals that are detected at the stations. Here we show that both meteoroids and thun- der have generated seismic signals with high signal-to-noise ratios at some of GEUS’ seismic stations (Fig. 1). Keywords: fig; signals; station; wave
Klint
- Cliff collapse at Stevns Klint, south-east Denmark by Schack Pedersen, Stig A.; Damholt, Tove (2012) - Types of cliff collapses at Stevns Klint The largest type of cliff collapse at Stevns Klint can be called cliff slides (Fig. 3). The general conditions of cliff erosion are described and the rockfall dynamics for the various types of cliff collapse are characterised. Keywords: cliff; collapse; fig; klint; overhang; stevns
Soil
- Pesticide leaching in Danish groundwater: identification of vulnerable areas by Nygaard, Erik; Ernstsen, Vibeke; Jacobsen, Carsten S; Jacobsen, Ole H; Juhler, René K; van der Keur, Peter; Olesen, Svend E; Rasmussen, Jim; Rosenberg, Per; Vosgerau, Henrik (2004) - Since mapping is the key to the identification of vulnera- ble areas, emphasis has been placed on generating a set of data based on soil parameters that can be easily and relatively inex- pensively obtained. The number of soil parameters required to obtain this cor- relation vary according to pesticide type. Keywords: fig; leaching; parameters; pesticides; soil; sorption
- Direct analysis of microbial populations in soil and freshwater aquifers using nucleic acid based techniques by Jacobsen, Carsten S; de Lipthay, Julia R; Bender, Mikkel; Fredslund, Line; Johnsen, Anders R; Johnsen, Kaare (2004) - This was further demonstrated by greatly increased populations of pesticide degraders inside the pesti- cide plume, both when enumerated by cultivation, and when quantified by the number of pesticide genes (tfdABC) detected by PCR methods (Fig. Microbial changes in aquifers contaminated with phenoxyalcanoic acid herbicides This section focuses on specific genes of interest rather than on organisms. Keywords: acid; dna; fig; genes; methods; mrna; pcr; soil; techniques
- Steam treatment of contaminated groundwater aquifers – development of pathogenic micro-organisms in soil by Jacobsen, Carsten Suhr; Elmholt, Susanne; Bagge Jensen, Carsten; Bach Jakobsen, Pia; Bender, Mikkel (2005) - A few results from the literature indicate that the micro- bial activity increases in steam treated soil (Richardson et al. 2002), probably due to microbial degradation of the soil con- taminants in combination with microbial utilisation of heat- killed organisms. Such high tempera- tures do not occur naturally at the site, and soil micro-orga- nisms originating from this site are not expected to be able to grow at such high temperatures. Keywords: heat; micro; organisms; soil; steam; treatment
Earthquakes
- Seismic hazard assessment of Greenland by Voss, Peter; Kildegaard Poulsen, Stine; Bjerregaard Simonsen, Sebastian; Gregersen, Søren (2007) - Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 13, 2007, 57-60 57 Earthquake activity in Greenland has been registered and mapped since 1907 (Larsen et al. 2006) and thus a long (albeit relatively sparse) record of seismic activity is available for evaluation of seismic hazard and risk. Earthquake activity Seismic hazard is just one of many natural hazards in Green - land. Keywords: earthquakes; fig; greenland; hazard; seismic
Inclusions
Edulis
- Laser ablation analysis of bivalve shells – archives of environmental information by Hansen Klünder, Maiken; Hippler, Dorothee; Witbaard, Rob; Frei, Dirk (2008) - Palaeo - geography, Palaeoecology, Palaeoclimatology 228, 130–148. Seed, R. 1980: Shell growth and form in the bivalvia. Shell samples from a four- year old specimen from Limfjorden, Denmark, collected in 2005, have been analysed.

Garde
- The norite belt in the Mesoarchaean Maniitsoq structure, southern West Greenland: conduit-type Ni-Cu mineralisation in impact-triggered, mantle-derived intrusions? by Garde, Adam A; Pattison, John; Kokfelt, Thomas F.; McDonald, Iain; Secher, Karsten (2013) - Adam A. Garde, John Pattison, Thomas F. Kokfelt, Iain McDonald and Karsten Secher With the recent discovery of the giant, deeply eroded, 3 Ga Maniitsoq impact structure in southern West Greenland (Garde 2010), an enigmatic, c. 75 by 15 km large, curvilinear belt of undeformed norite intrusions with Ni-Cu mineralisa- tion was re-interpreted as representing crustally contaminat- ed melts derived from the mantle in the wake of the impact (Fig. 1; Garde et al. 2012). melt zone (extent revised from Garde et al. 2012) Keywords: garde; impact; mineralisation; norite

Dimension
- Prospecting for dimension stones in Greenland by Rasmussen, Thomas V; Olsen, Hans Kristian (2005) - The main target areas were located in the Nassuttooq (Nordre Strømfjord) and Nuuk regions in central West Greenland, the Gardar Province in South Greenland and around Tasilaq in East Greenland (Fig. 1). The plan for 2005 is to continue the prospecting in the Godthåbsfjord region of southern West Greenland and in the Gardar province in South Greenland.
