Helicopter-borne geophysical surveys in the Grønnedal region, South-West Greenland. Results from Project AEM Greenland 1996

This report provides a general overview, together with a specific selection of geophysical anomalies recommended for ground follow-up, of the results from Project AEM Greeenland 1996 - a multiple sensor, helicopter borne geophysical survey conducted in the Grønnedal region of South-West Greenland as the third survey of Project AEM Greenland 1994-1998. This was the most comprehensive (four geophysical techniques simultaneously measuring 19 separate parameters), detailed, low level airborne survey ever carried out in Greenland. During this initial phase of compilation, ten (10) separate map products were created together with multi-channel profile plots for each flight line, all at a scale of 1:20 000.

Five separate blocks were surveyed, primarily covering Ketilidian (early Proterozoic) and Tartoq (Archean) supracrustal belts. Individual discussions of each survey block, with respect to economic mineral prospects, are presented in the appendices.

This report is specifically intended for mineral explorationists but the data can also be used by other earth scientists for a variety of applications. Detailed geological mapping can be greatly enhanced by these multi-sensor data.
