Disko Bugt Project 1992, West Greenland

Abstract

One of GGU's major field activities in 1992 took place in July and August in the Disko-Nuussuaq-Svartenhuk Halvø area of central West Greenland. This was the fourth and final year of field studies under the 'Disko Bugt Project', carried out from 1988–1992 with one summer's break in 1990. The Disko Bugt Project includes a large number of activities, essentially within two very different geological provinces: the Archaean-Proterozoic basement and supracrustal province, and the onshore part of the Cretaceous–Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic basin. The Precambrian basement is mainly exposed towards the east, and the sediments and volcanic rocks mainly towards the west.
