Abstract

Proterozoic sedimentary and associated igneous rocks along the margin of the Precambrian crystalline shield in North Greenland have been studied by several geological field-teams since 1912 when they were first investigated during the First Thule Expedition. More recently, the Proterozoic strata of North Greenland have been studied in greater detail by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) during the North Greenland Project of 1978-80 and 1983-85. The present paper reviews these studies in an attempt to elucidate the development of the sedimentary basins in North Greenland during the Proterozoic.
