Greenland ice cap aeromagnetic survey 1985: magnetic measurements over the southern end of the Greenland ice cap

Abstract

In continuation of previous aeromagnetic survey work in 1983 and 1984 (Thorning et al., 1984, 1985) operations were carried out in April 1985 over a part of the Greenland ice cap south of the area surveyed in 1984. The reconnaissance lines flown in 1984 gave reason to expect that the geological structures in this part of Greenland would be reflected in the aeromagnetic fieid. This proved to be the case. The GICAS project is a cooperation between the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), and the National AeronauticaI Establishment (NAE) of the National Research Council of Canada.
