The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) continued the investigation of the geology of Greenland during the year with both field studies in Greenland and laboratory studies in Copenhagen. Field work was carried out between June and September by two main field groups in the northern and southernmost parts of Greenland separated by more than 2000 km. Smaller groups worked in several areas along the west coast and a short reconnaissance was accomplished along the south-east coast. GGU's work encompassed geochemical and geophysical studies, mineral exploration, petroleum geology, environmental investigations, and glaciology. Seventy-nine scientists and technicians participated in the summer's field work. In addition to the GGU parties several groups from other institutions worked in dose collaboration with GGU. The areas of activity in 1984 are indicated on fig. 1.

The project 'Nordolie' was initiated under the Danish Ministry of Energy's Research Programme 1983. The aim of the project is to obtain general knowledge about the source rock geology of central North Greenland. Similar investigations have previously been carried out in eastern North Greenland (Rolle, 1981; Rolle & Wrang, 1981). The main purpose of the project is to study the presence and distribution of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the region and to evaluate the thermal maturity pattern. Studies of reservoir properties, trapping possibilities, and other aspects of petroleum geology will accordingly have a much lower priority.
