Abstract
Two separate geophysical projects were carried out in 1988 as part of glacier-hydrological investigations of the margin of the Inland Ice. We made a reconnaissance electromagnetic resonance survey over the ice margin adjacent to Sermilik and Isortuarssup tasia, south-east of Nuuk/Godthåb and measured ice thickness along some lines in the area of Qamanârssûp serrnia, Kangiata nunâta sermia and Kangaussarssup sermia a short distance to the north, as well as a few profiles over a local ice cap just east of Isortuarssup tasia. In the Pâkitsoq area, north east of Ilulissat/Jakobshavn, we finished the mono-pulse ice radar work started last year (Thorning & Hansen, 1988a).
Highlights
1\vo separate geophysical projects were carried out in 1988 as part of glacier-hydrological investigations of the margin of the Inland Ice
The survey area will be a potential reserve basin if a hydropower plant is built at Buksefjorden to supply power to Nuuk and it is necessary to collect information on subglacial relief of this part of the Inland lee
The operation was based on Nuuk Airport
Summary
1\vo separate geophysical projects were carried out in 1988 as part of glacier-hydrological investigations of the margin of the Inland Ice. In the Påkitsoq area, north east of IlulissatlJakobshavn, we finished the mono-pulse ice radar work started last year (Thorning & Hansen, 1988a)
