Field mapping of the Precambrian basement in the Godthåbsfjord district, southern West Greenland

Abstract

The first author continued his regional mapping, begun in 1965, in the Godthåbsfjord district between June and September. He joined the party of geologists from Exeter University (see Chadwick & Coe, this report) for a week at the start of the season in order to introduce this team into the main geological problems of the area. He also accompanied and advised W. F. Fahrig (see this report) who collected material from the gneiss complex as part of a joint research project with the Geological Survey of Canada on the geomagnetic properties of rocks from West Greenland.
