Field mapping on the early Precambrian rocks of the Godthåbsfjord region, southern West Greenland

Abstract

Mapping of the Precambrian rocks in the Godthåbsfjord region was continued in 1973 by R. Macdonald (Makerere University, see this report) and the present authors. A special study on the type and degree of deformation in the gneisses was begun by R. Hollingworth (Univ. of Liverpool). In June and July D.B. and V.R.M. helped parties from Oxford University (S. Moorbath and R.J. Pankhurst) and the California Institute of Technology (G.J. Wasserburg, A.L. AIbee, R. Dymek and A.J. Gancarz) to collect material for detailed isotope studies. V.R.M. worked between Tovqussaq and southern Qilangarssuit as part of this programme.
