Precambrian to Tertiary of northern Greenland

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter in book › Research

Abstract

This paper describes the bedrock geology of the northern part of Greenland from Melville Bugt (75°00'N) on the west coast to Kronprins Christian Land (80°00'N) on the east coast. The region corresponds to the geographical divisions North-West and North Greenland as used by the Survey. The larger part of this region is ice covered, either by the northern part of the Inland Ice or by smaller ice caps. About 125 000 km² is ice free. The majority of the coast is ice locked throughout the year making logistics and field work difficult.
