Abstract

The first areas to be investigated when the Geological Survey of Greenland (Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, GGU) was established shortly after the Second World War were the more easily accessibIe parts of West and South-West Greenland. From the mid-1950s a systematic programme aimed at the production of 1: 100 000 geological maps was begun in South-West Greenland. A complementary 1:500 000 mapping programme was initiated in 1964 with the aim of establishing a general geological overview of the entire ice-free part of Greenland within the foreseeable future. A summary of the many papers and maps resulting from the project is given here.
