Precambrian studies in the Buksefjorden region, southern West Greenland Report on the last field season in the programme 1972–1979

Abstract

The 1977 field season was the last in the series of six planned by GGU and the University of Exeter for the mapping of the Buksefjorden region (fig. 23). As in some of the earlier years, operations were mounted from a base at Nordafar. Support was provided by the GGU motor cutter N. V. Ussing throughout the season and on four days by helicopter from Greenlandair Charter A/S. We wish to acknowledge the assistance provided by officials at Nordafar, by Mr. Dave Pedersen of Greenlandair Charter A/S and especiaIly by skipper Flemming Nielsen. We also wish to record the valuable contribution made during the season by M. Ramakrishnan of the Geological Survey of India who worked with the group, nominally as an assistant. The weather was exceptionally good and tbis contributed to the smooth running of the programme.
