Review of the Survey's activities in 1984

Abstract

The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) continued the investigation of the geology of Greenland during the year with both field studies in Greenland and laboratory studies in Copenhagen. Field work was carried out between June and September by two main field groups in the northern and southernmost parts of Greenland separated by more than 2000 km. Smaller groups worked in several areas along the west coast and a short reconnaissance was accomplished along the south-east coast. GGU's work encompassed geochemical and geophysical studies, mineral exploration, petroleum geology, environmental investigations, and glaciology. Seventy-nine scientists and technicians participated in the summer's field work. In addition to the GGU parties several groups from other institutions worked in dose collaboration with GGU. The areas of activity in 1984 are indicated on fig. 1.
