Reconnaissance investigations in the Skjoldungen region, South-East Greenland

Abstract

From 1 July to 25 August 1987 a GGU expedition made reconnaissance investigations between 62°N and 64°20'N in South-East Greenland. The programme was a continuation of the investigations in the Ammassalikl Angmagssalik distriet in 1986 (Kalsbeek & Nielsen, 1987) and the completion of the fieldwork describing areas in East Greenland between 62°30'N and 65°45'N for the planned map sheet (no. 14) in the 1:500 000 geological map series. The Skjoldungen district was known mainly from previous boat-supported work in the coastal areas as described by Bridgwater & Gormsen, 1969; Andrews et al., 1971, 1973; Bridgwater et al., 1976; Escher & Nielsen, 1982, 1983; Nielsen & Escher 1985 and Escher et al., 1986.
