Fourth year of glaciological field work at Tasersiaq and Qapiarfiup sermia, West Greenland

Abstract

As part of the GGU programme for the regional mapping of the hydroelectric potential of West Greenland, glaciological and climatological investigations were continued at 'Amitsuloq' ice cap in 1985, while only glaciological measurements were made at Qapiarfiup sermia. The field programme at Qapiarfiup sermia was originally started in March 1981, whereas the permanent fieId station near 'Amitsuloq' ice cap (fig. 1) was first established in August of the same year. Briefreports of the work have been given by Olesen (1982), Olesen & Andreasen (1983), and Olesen (1985).
