NOTE: This article was published in a former series of GEUS Bulletin. Please use the original series name when citing this article, for example: Sørensen, K. (2001). The year in focus, 2000. Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 189, 7-10. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v189.5148 _______________ The year 2000 was unusual in that it lacked major field activity directly involved with the systematic geological mapping of Greenland. However, field activities were again many and varied, including a successful highresolution seismic survey offshore central West Greenland, and a joint Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) – Danish Lithosphere Centre (DLC) project centred on Kangerlussuaq in southern East Greenland. Of the Survey’s 354 personnel, 93 were allocated to Greenland-related activities (Table 1). The Greenland level of activity in 2000, both in Copenhagen and in the field, thus compared favourably with that of 1999.

Photogrammetry is a classical remote sensing technique dating back to the 19th century that allows geologists to make three-dimensional observations in two-dimensional images using human stereopsis. Pioneering work in the 1980s and 1990s (Dueholm 1992) combined the use of vertical (nadirlooking) aerial photographs with oblique stereo images from handheld small-frame cameras into so-called multi-model photogrammetry. This was a huge technological step forward that made it possible to map, in three dimensions, steep terrain that would otherwise be inaccessible or poorly resolved in conventional nadir-looking imagery. The development was fundamental to the mapping and investigation of e.g. the Nuussuaq basin (Pedersen et al. 2006). Digital photogrammetry, the all-digital version of multi-model photogrammetry, is nowadays an efficient and powerful geological tool that is used by the Photogeological Laboratory at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) to address geological problems in a range of projects from 3D mapping to image-based surface reconstruction and orthophoto production. Here we present an updated description (complementary to Dueholm 1992) of the analytical procedures in the typical digital workflow used in current 3Dmapping projects at GEUS.
