Field work in uranium geology and prospecting, northern East Greenland

Abstract

The field activity in 1977 completed a 5-year programme of exploration for uranium in northem East Greenland from 72° to 76°N (Nielsen & Larsen, 1974; Nielsen & Steenfelt, 1975; Steenfelt, 1976). The following account refers to the field activities of 1976 and 1977. As in previous years the group undertaking uranium geology and exploration was joined by small field teams working with various other geological subjects (see e.g. Hald, Thyrsted, this report), giving a total number of about 25 participants. All field teams were supported from the base camp in Stordal, Hudson Land (fig. 31).
