Field work supplementing photogeological interpretation of Nûgssuaq

Abstract

In early 1967 the writer was given the task of undertaking a photointerpretation of the areas that make up the 1:100 000 geological map sheets 70 V. 1 N Agatdal and 70 V.1 S Qutdligssat. The object of the photointerpretation was to see whether, with the additional structural and lithological information obtainable from the aerial photos, it would be possible to complete the geological maps at this scale using the existing 1:50 000 geological held maps. These field maps were compiled on the basis of field work carried out over the years by expeditions to this part of Greenland led by Professor A. Rosenkrantz, University of Copenhagen.
