Abstract
The geological field activity in 1981 covered a wide range of aspects of the Survey's work centered in West, South and East Greenland. A telegraphist's strike lasting the whole period of the fieId season added serious difficulties to the work; some programmes had to be completely cancelled, such as the oil geological and geophysical investigations in East Greenland, while other programmes were affected to varying degrees causing changes in logistic support. The end of the season was marked in September when GGU was host to a meeting of the directors of the Western European geological surveys held in Julianehåb and Narssaq.

Numerous results of the Survey's activities were published in both the Survey's own publication series and as articles in international journals. These included a symposium volume 'Nares Strait and the Drift of Greenland', a joint venture with the Geological Survey of Canada, which is being edited in Copenhagen and published as part of the series Meddelelser om Grønland
Summary
The geological field activity in 1981 covered a wide range of aspects of the Survey's work centered in West, South and East Greenland. A telegraphist's strike lasting the whole period of the fie Id season added serious difficulties to the work; some programmes had to be completely cancelled, such as the oil geological and geophysical investigations in East Greenland, while other programmes were affected to varying degrees causing changes in logistic support. The Survey published two l: 100 000 map sheets at the end of the year: Kangiata nuna, an area of Archaean gneiss in West Greenland, and Hurry Inlet, an area with Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and Caledonian crystalline gneisses and granites in East Greenland
