Heat flow investigations in the Narssaq and Ivigtut areas

Abstract

Temperature measurements in drill holes have been carried out in the Ivigtut area and in the Ilimaussaq intrusion near Narssaq as the start of a general heat flow investigation in South Greenland. As this kind of work has not previously been done in Greenland and heat flow data from arctic areas are still very few it is hoped that the results will contribute to a better understanding of world-wide heat flow patterns and their relationship to major tectonic provinces.
