GEOLOGY OF GREENLAND SURVEY BULLETIN 186 - 2000
Review of Greenland Activities 1999
Edited by
Peter R. Dawes and A.K. Higgins
This Review of Greenland activities, the fourth issued by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), contains 11 scientific articles, introduced by a directorial review for 1999 - The year in focus. A review of Greenland publications concludes the volume and this includes a 1999 listing of publications issued in the Survey’s own series and those scientific and semi-popular papers written by its staff and coworkers released in international outlets.
The scientific articles report on the main projects carried out in 1999. These were widely spaced and on all sides of Greenland stretching from 81ºN in the north to the southern tip at 60ºN. The topics touched on range from geological mapping and stratigraphic studies of Archaean to Quaternary rocks, economic assessments of mineral and petroleum deposits, as well as an airborne geophysical survey in West Greenland. Three papers report on field work dealing with the impact of climatic change on the environment.

Physiographic map of Greenland showing the locations discussed in the 11 scientific papers of this volume (see Contents opposite). The map is based on a digital elevation model produced from digital aerophotogrammetry and scannings of the coast, and remote sensing from satellites and aircraft over the Inland Ice. The highest land summit is 3693 m above sea level (Gunnbjørn Fjeld in East Greenland, about 250 km south of frame 4); the highest elevation of the Inland Ice is 3238 m above sea level (Summit, marked by the triangle). The map, supplied by Simon Ekholm, is reproduced with courtesy of the National Survey and Cadastre, Copenhagen. For a full list of Survey field activities (regions and projects) in 1999, and for the geographical subdivisions as used in this bulletin, see the map in the directorial review in the article "The year in focus, 1999".
