Abstract
Nineteen-eighty-nine brings to an end a decade which has seen many changes in the demands and aspirations expressed by society concerning geological investigations in Greenland. The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) has responded to these new expectations by seeking to change the emphasis of its geological activities. Since its inception more than 40 years ago, GGU has surveyed the framework of Greenland geology through a series of mapping programmes and regional investigations aimed at establishing a solid scientific foundation upon which applied and economic geological and hydrological activities could be based. In later years, applied and economic activities have played an increasing role in GGU's planning, and 1989 has seen a continuation of this trend as GGU meets the challenge of a new decade.

Summary
Since its inception more than 40 years ago, GGU has surveyed the frarnework of Greenland geology through a series of mapping programmes and regional investigations aimed at establishing a solid scientific foundation upon which applied and economic geological and hydrological activities could be based. In later years, applied and economic activities have played an increasing role in GGU's planning, and 1989 has seen a continuation of this trend as GGU meets the challenge of a new decade. During late 1988 and 1989 a detailed internal evaluation of GGU's activities was made, based on the prevailing budgetary situation and the new developments in working obligations experienced during recent years.
