Field work in central west Disko, 1979

Abstract

Field work in the summer 1979 was concentrated in the area between 69°45'N and 70°00'N from the west coast into central Disko (fig. 15). Transport facilities were provided by the GGU cutter J. F. Johnstrup and by a helicopter. Two field teams led by A.K.P. and F.U.-M. completed extensive field investigations which together with work reported by Pedersen (1977) and Ulff-Møller (1979) will enable a final photogrammetric compilation af the geological map sheet 69 V. 1 N to be made. A.K.P. studied the Vaigat Formation and the Nordfjord and Niaqussat members of the Maligât Formation. F.U.-M. studied the Rinks Dal member of the Maligât Formation and dyke intrusions with native iran bearing rocks contaminated by sediment.
