South-East Greenland, 62° - 67°N, SEGMENT workshop, February 2012. Abstract volume

The South-East Greenland, 62°N – 67°N, SEGMENT Workshop 2012 was held at GEUS, Co-penhagen, February 27-29, 2012. The programme and the abstracts of the workshop is presented below.

The workshop was organised as part of the performance contract with the Ministry (activity 4.1 and 4.2) and the project co-operation agreement between GEUS and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum about the project SEGMENT: South-East Greenland Mapping and Mineral ENdowment Task.

The workshop provided the possibility to discuss and report results and observations from field-work that was carried out in 2011; and also provided the possibility to discuss future research in the region, to plan new work in 2012 and to push the knowledge about the geology in South-East one step forward. The workshop was informal and was intended to have focus on constructive and fruitful discussions and exchange of ideas. The 2012 workshop focuses mainly on the area between 62°– 64°30’N, covering the North Atlantic craton in South-East Greenland.

The first two days of the workshop was devoted to presentations, whereas the last day was devoted to meetings and discussions in different working groups/topics that had been established for the work in South-East Greenland.
