Vol. 3, Bulletin
Description: The main result of this work was the comparison between the fossil faunas and the mollusc faunas now living before our eyes using the C.G.J. Petersen bottom community concept step by step in the seven stages from the Eemian to the Subatlantic within the seven regions in the Danish realm. It appears that the differences in facies made the difference between the regions and that the more temperate Eemian marine fauna was only connected with the shallow water environment. The climatic changes recorded in the mollusc fauna have given a clear record as far as the main trends are concerned - the interglacial/glacial cycle however the climatic changes during the Holocene were small.

Annual Report 2003 - Geology for society
Description: Read the Annual Report - can also be downloaded in pdf-format. Towards the end of 2003 the board of directors entered into a new performance contract with the Ministry of the Environment for the four-year period 2004-2007. The performance contract has its starting point in new strategies for the coming years which are prepared following thorough discussions amongst staff managers at all levels management and the board of directors and after consultation with cooperation partners. The financial framework that has been indicated for the coming finance acts is falling but GEUS will try to cover the reductions in appropriations with extra external income from research councils funds the EU public authorities and industry.

New setting New partnership - Annual Report 2002 - GEUS
Description: During the spring and summer of 2002 the GEUS moved into the Copenhagen University building on Øster Voldgade in central Copenhagen thus realising the desire to establish a stronger unified geoscientific environment – 41 years after the idea was first seriously raised. Geocenter Copenhagen houses approx. 550 employees and 1000 students from the Geological Institute the Geographical Institute the Geological Museum the Danish Lithosphere Centre and GEUS.

Fact Sheet, CO2 storage, GEUS
Description: Fact sheet CO2 storage. Emission to the atmosphere of greenhouse gases mainly resulting from combustion of fossil fuels is considered a major environmental problem. If not resolved it could impose severe limitations on the potential for growth in developing countries and on maintaining of high standards of living in industrialised countries. UN Climate Conventions in Rio 1992 Kyoto 1997 and Buenos Aires 1998 commit the industrialised countries to reduce rather dramatically emissions of greenhouse gases.

Late Quaternary environmental changes recorded in the Danish marine molluscan faunas
Description: Late Quaternary marine deposits in Denmark have yielded 247 subfossil species of molluscs. The sites are presented and comparisons are made between the subfossil mollusc assemblages and the 278 shell-bearing mollusc species presently living in the Danish seas. 184 species are common to the two groups. The 63 species no longer occurring around Denmark are used as indicators of changing environmental conditions including temperature salinity and depth throughout the last 120000 years GEUS

Vol.1 Map Series
Description: Explanatory notes to the Geological map of Greenland 1:500 000 Humboldt Gletscher Sheet 6 - The Humboldt Gletscher map sheet predominantly displays Precambrian Palaeozoic and Quaternary units and expanses of ice. Minor clastic rocks and wood erratics are of Neogene age. Three bedrock provinces are preserved: the Palaeoproterozoic shield or Inglefield mobile belt the Mesoproterozoic Thule Basin and the Lower Palaeozoic Franklinian Basin. These explanatory notes are designed as an expanded map legend and introduced by sections on physical environment and geoscientific research with 150 papers cited. The notes are aimed at the practical user needing a key to more information rather than the specialist seeking detailed analysis. Five mineral occurrence types are shown on the map: in shield lithologies sulphide-graphite gossanous rust zones massive magnetite and copper-gold mineralisation and in Franklinian Basin strata commercially drilled zinc-lead-silver and zinc-lead-barium mineralisations.
