Systematic geological mapping in 1985 in central and western North Greenland General introduction to the present collection of papers

Abstract

The fifth and final field season in GGU's North Greenland programme (1978-80, 1984-85) comprised geological mapping and general geological investigations in the region between J. P. Koch Fjord (400 W) and Washington Land (65°W), the same area as the 1984 investigations. A working party of 40 participants, consisting of 12 geological two-man teams, a four-man drilling team and 12 supporting personnel, including aircraft crews, worked in the region for two months during the summer. The preliminary results of the geological work are presented in in this report.
