A new airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey of Inglefield Land, North-West Greenland: Project AEM Greenland 1994–1998

Abstract

Late in 1993 the Greenland Home Rule Government decided to finance a five-year programme of airborne geo­physical surveying over selected regions of Greenland, project AEM GREENLAND 1994–1998, with approximately five million kroner per year. The primary objective is to stimulate mining exploration activity in Greenland over the short term. The secondary objective is to provide data, which will have a lasting effect in the interpretation of the geology in selected parts of Greenland. The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) manages the project, carries out interpretations of the data, and will maintain the acquired data in digital databases as a service to the public and mining companies (MINEX 1994a, b).
