The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, GEUS, is a research and advisory institute primarily involved with geological mapping, data collection and storage, and dissemination of geo-scientific knowledge. GEUS provides state-of-the-art geo-scientific knowledge of international standard and co-operates with scientific institutions and other organisations around the world, such as Danish and Greenland research institutions and agencies i.e. EuroGeoSurveys (EGS), and the European Environmental Agency (EEA). The GIS-software at GEUS is Arc/Info and ArcView supplemented by MapInfo and specialised systems as Z-Map+.

Mr. Frants von Platten-Hallermund is a GIS-specialist at GEUS. He has worked with GIS systems for 20 years and has extensive experience in converting and combining data from different sources, raster calculations and analysis, establishing automated procedures for GIS data handling and analysis and publishing WEB based maps.

Dr Peter Rasmussen is a senior research palaeoecologist at GEUS. His primary research area is post-glacial terrestrial and aquatic vegetation history, particularly the ecology of anthropogenic disturbances and the biological effects of climate change using a series of sediment proxies. He has an extensive experience in lake and marine sedimentology, sediment sampling, pollen and macrofossil analysis, and sub-fossil wood identification.
