Abstract
The region between J. P. Koch Fjord (40°W) and north-eastem Washington Land (65°W) was the site of geological mapping and general geological investigations during the first of a two season systematic fjeld mapping programme. An expedition of 37 members, comprising 12 geological two-man parties and 13 supporting personnel including aircraft crews, worked in the region for two months during the summer. The preliminary resuIts of the geological work are presented in 12 contributions from the individual geologists in this report (GGU report no. 126).
Highlights
The first season of the two-year field mapping programme in central and western North Greenland was carried out from mid-June to late August 1984. These investigations are a continuation of the 1978-1980 mapping programme in the Peary Land region (GGU, 1979, 1980, 1981) adjoining the present area to the east
The southern boundary of the map sheet is at latitude 81°N, the Inland Ice in most of the region forms the southern margin of rock outcrop
In addition to regional mapping, general geological investigations were carried out over the whole area, and a geochemical exploration programme and source rock project were integrated with the work
