    Resumé

    Geology of Greenland aims to provide a concise modern account of nearly all aspects of Greenland's geology.

    A large part of the exposed bedrock in Greenland is formed of Precambrian crystalline rocks with great similarities to the Canadian and northern European shields; Phanerozoic rocks are widely represented in North and East Greenland. The excellent exposures in the marginal, mountainous strip, up to 250 km wide and 3000 m high surrounding the Inland Ice, have permitted the unravelling of a complex sequence of Precambrian events stretching back in time for nearly 4000 m.y., and including the oldest dated rocks in the world.
