Greenland ice cap aeromagnetic survey 1987: completion of the survey over the southern end of the Greenland ice cap

Abstract

The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), and the National Aeronautical Establishment (NAE) of the National Research Council of Canada are cooperating in the GICAS project. The objective of the project is to achieve a regional, aeromagnetic coverage of the Greenland ice cap, and to produce magnetic anomaly maps for use in research on the large scale geological structures. Field work was carried out in 1983, 1984, and 1985 (Thorning et al. , 1984, 1985, 1986). The work reported in this note was originally planned for April 1986, but for technical reasons it had to be postponed until April 1987. Consequently, the subsequent processing of all the data into a regional magnetic anomaly map has been correspondingly delayed.
