Project NAD – Part 2: a marine geophysical project offshore East Greenland

Abstract

On 24th May 1979 the Council of the European Communities adopted its regulation No 1038/79 on Community support for a hydrocarbon exploration project in Greenland - Project NAD. This project is an integrated aeromagnetic and marine geophysical project off the east coast of Greenland. Part 1 is the aeromagnetic programme - Project EASTMAR Larsen & Thorning, this report); part 2 is the marine geophysical programme. The aim of this project is to map the continental margin of East Greenland, using high sensitivity aeromagnetic surveys and multichannel seismic refiection and marine gravity surveys, and to prepare a preliminary petroleum geological assessment of the region.
