The Physical Environment of Nyeboe Land, North Greenland


Book Description

After outlining what is currently known - or can fairly safely be deduced - about weather, climate, geology, and the glaciers and the hydrography of the area, the three major landform regions of Nyeboe Land and their characteristic terrain features are discussed, as well as the terrain of each of the 26 areal sections into which Nyeboe Land has been subdivided. For each of these sections, the possibilities of access and traverse are discussed with the assumption that low-ground pressure tracked motor vehicles would be used as the means of transportation. The sectional terrain analysis is followed by a discussion of the means and routes of access to Nyeboe Land as a whole, of the routes through each area, and of potential major c mp sites.

Fourteen chapters discuss regional stratigraphy by time intervals from Precambrian to Quaternary, while other chapters describe the geography, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysical characteristics, and resources of the region. A summary chapter includes geologic maps, structural cross-sections, a geotectonic correlation chart, a gravity map, and a location map for exploration wells in the Arctic Islands and northern Greenland. A wealth of additional information is contained on the nine accompanying plates.
