Abstract

Glacier 1CG14033 is a small (1.1 km2 ) glacier located in the Kangerluarsunnguaq or Buksefjorden basin, which is a possibie site for a hydropower station to supply energy to Nuuk/Godthåb (fig. 1). Glaciers only occupy 1-2% of the basin area (Weidick & Thomsen, 1983), but glaciological measurements have been made since 1982 to investigate the possibie effects of glaciers on runoff and to contribute to GGU's programme of regional glaciology.
