• To draw attention on
international markets
you must have clear
lighthouses to offer
• The Danish SkyTEM
mapping system is a
very prominent
example of such a
lighthouse

• The Danish mapping concept - here specifically
focusing on:
• An integrated set of mapping tools,
• National databases (geophysics, boreholes, ..)
• National standards and guidelines
• - all tested and developed in DK
• - based on cooperation between Aarhus University, GEUS,
Responsible Authorities and Consulting Companies
• - and profiting from 15 years experience of national
