Aeromagnetic survey in southern West Greenland: project Aeromag 1999

Abstract

The acquisition of public airborne geophysical data from Greenland that commenced in 1992 continued in 1999 with project Aeromag 1999, an aeromagnetic survey of part of southern West Greenland. This paper presents results of the aeromagnetic survey and discusses the correlation of the measured data with the previously mapped surface geology.

The project was financed by the Government of Greenland and managed by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. Sander Geophysics Ltd., Ottawa, Canada, was selected in April 1999 as the contractor for the project through a European Union opentender procedure.
