Preliminary investigations in South-East Greenland

Abstract

As a first stage in planning a regional mapping programme on the south-east coast of Greenland from Scoresby Sund to Kap Farvel, the available material from previous expeditions has been examined and a provisional geological map is being compiled. A programme of isotopic age determination has been started in collaboration with F. J. Fitch (London University) and J. A. Miller (Cambridge University) in order to help localise areas in which to concentrate future detailed geological mapping. The Geological Survey of Greenland will be very pleased to receive information gathered on recent expeditions to this coast which may be of help in planning and which could prevent a senseless dupliaation of effort.
