Geophysical investigations offshore East Greenland - Project NAD

Abstract

The objective of project NAD is to map the continental margin of East Greenland, using high sensitivity aeromagnetic surveys and multichannel seismic refIection and marine gravity and magnetic surveys, and to prepare a preliminary petroleum geological assessment of the region on the basis of all the available data. The aeromagnetic surveys were carried out during 1979 (Larsen & Thorning, 1980). Marine geophysical surveys are planned for 1980, 1981 and 1982 (Risum, 1980). During 1980 a total of 2610 km of marine geophysical data were collected and the processing and interpretation of the aeromagnetic data acquired in 1979 was continued.
