Mapping of Tertiary basalts on the northern Blosseville Kyst, East Greenland

Abstract

During the 1978 season work carried out by a helicopter-supported field team was concentrated in the region around Kap Dalton and Stenos Gletscher. The work formed a continuation of that carried out in 1975 in the coastal region between Kap Dalton and Steward Ø. The main objectives were to link the stratigraphic sequence of the coastal region to that established for the Scoresby Sund area to the north and north-west. For this it was essential to gain a detailed knowledge of the inland behaviour of the coastal fault system.
