Abstract
The third and last field season of the mapping project in eastern North Greenland (1993-95) was completed with full accomplishment of all geoscientific goals. The programme included producing a general overview of the onshore geology of the region between Jøkelbugten and Kronprins Christian Land (78°-81°N) aiming at production of a 1:500 000 geological map sheet.
Highlights
The third and last field season of the mapping project in eastern North Greenland (1993-95) was completed with full accomplishment of all geoscientific goals
In addition to establishing a general overview of the regional geology the project aimed at obtaining an evaluation of the economic geological potential of the region, in respect to both minerals and hydrocarbons (Stemmerik et al, this report)
Logistic support was given to three two-man teams of botanists, whose participation was organised via the Danish Polar Center (DPC)
Summary
The third and last field season of the mapping project in eastern North Greenland (1993-95) was completed with full accomplishment of all geoscientific goals. The programme included producing a general overview of the onshore geology ofthe region between Jøkelbugten and Kronprins Christian Land (78°-81 °N) aiming at production of a 1:500000 geological map sheet. The planning of the field work in 1995 was carried out as in 1993 and 1994 by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU), but folIowing the merger of GGU with the Geological Survey of Denmark (DGU) on 1 June 1995, the field work itself was completed under the auspices of the new institute - the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). GEUS was responsibie for the logistical organisation of the field work on behalf of all groups. The field work in 1995 was carried out during a twomonth field season from late June to late August with participation of a total of 46 persons, including 27 geologists and 7 glaciologists. The military outpost Station Nord was used as a logistic backup point and for transit during mobiiisation and demobilisation
