Vol. 181 (1999): Precambrian geology of the Disko Bugt region, West Greenland

Edited by Feiko Kalsbeek

The region north-east of Disko Bugt contains Archaean greenstone belts which were investigated by industry for mineral deposits in the 1970s and 1980s. In the period 1988–1992 the former Geological Survey of Greenland carried out more detailed field work in order to obtain a better geological understanding of the region. This bulletin contains 14 articles based on these field investigations and later laboratory research. An introductory paper gives a geological overview and a description of the accompanying geological map at 1:250 000. The following articles describe some of the rocks in more detail and treat economic, structural and chronological topics with the aim of presenting an up-to-date account of the Precambrian geology of the region.
