Distribution of radioactive mineralisation in central West Greenland

Abstract

An airborne radiometric survey 1975-76 (Secher, 1976, 1977) showed several anomalies in the area between Egedesminde and Færingehavn. The follow-up field programme from 1977-79 comprised detailed geological and radiometric mapping, as well as sampling of soil, stream water and stream sediments (Watt, 1977). Field operations were carried out from the GGU field station at Søndre Strømfjord Airbase, using one helicopter for two to four field parties, each summer. Two GGU cutters were utilised during a part of each season.
