Introduction

Abstract

The advent of aircraft to arctic exploration heralded a new age in North Greenland geology. Exactly 45 years elapsed from the time that Lauge Koch first conducted airborne reconnaissance over eastern North Greenland until the Geological Survey of Greenland (Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, GGU) launched the major regional geological programme, the North Greenland Project (1978-80, 1984-85), which has provided the bulk of the geological information upon which this present volume is based.
