Airborne remote sensing in East Greenland

Abstract

In the spring of 1979 a remote sensing project in East Greenland was commenced, introducing this new method of investigation to Greenland. The aim of the project is to investigate the possibility of using airborne remote sensing in connection with mineral exploration. In the region chosen for investigation (Inset, fig. 35) several mineralisations of different types and ages occur, and the purpose is to find out which remote sensing techniques and data processings are appropriate for detection and reproduction on images ofthese known mineralisations. The region is geologically well known and it is well exposed, vegetation and secondary cover being very limited.
