Abstrakt
The series of government-funded geophysical surveys in Greenland was
continued during the spring and summer of 2001 with a regional
aeromagnetic survey north of Uummannaq, project Aeromag 2001 (Fig. 1).
The survey added about 70 000 line kilometres of high-quality magnetic
measurements to the existing database of modern airborne geophysical
data from Greenland. This database includes both regional
high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys and detailed surveys with combined
electromagnetic and magnetic airborne measurements.High-quality magnetic
data are now available for all the ice-free area of West and South
Greenland from the southern tip of Greenland to Upernavik
Kujalleq/Søndre Upernavik (Fig. 1). The total surveyed area with
highresolution magnetic data is 250 000 km2 and corresponds
to a total of 515 000 line kilometres. Detailed surveys with combined
electromagnetic and magnetic measurements were carried out in six
separate surveys in selected areas of high mineral potential during
project AEM Greenland 1994–1998, a total of 75 000 line kilometres.
Descriptions of the previous surveys can be found in Thorning (1993),
Stemp & Thorning (1995), Thorning & Stemp (1996, 1998), Stemp
(1997), Rasmussen & Thorning (1999), Rasmussen & van Gool (2000)
and Rasmussen et al. (2001).
