In 1971 the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) celebrated its 25th year of geological research in Greenland. During this period the Survey has developed into the official government department of the Ministry for Greenland dealing with geological aspects. The interest shown by mining and oil companies in both onshore and offshore areas of Greenland during the last decade has continued to grow and as a result the Survey has set up an economic section to deal with matters concerning mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. This work forms an important part of the Survey's tasks which are to investigate, map and explain, in as much detail as is practicable, the geology of Greenland. Systematic geological mapping, detailed investigations of selected mineral deposits and the publication of results of research carried out during the first 25 years of the Survey's existence provide the basic data for the realisation of the economic potential of Greenland.

In 1972 the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) continued activities in Greenland on the same scale as in the previous year, with a total of 127 people travelling to Greenland from Copenhagen to take part in geological, glaciological and geophysical work in eight major areas. The Survey, in its capacity as the official government department of the Ministry for Greenland dealing with geological affairs, carries out a variety of tasks involving geological mapping and prospecting, specialised investigations and the evaluation of potentially economic sites, as well as advising the Ministry on a number of matters concerning concession rights for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and extraction. With the continuing steady increase in interest surrounding the mineral and hydrocarbon potential of Greenland, considerably more emphasis is being placed on economic matters. With this development the inevitable reorganisation of the internal structure of the Survey has begun and has been heralded by the formation of a section dealing with oil and gas geology to join the much larger mapping department. Other sections are expected to follow as the Survey grows steadily larger in the coming years.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ROAD-CUTS AND OTHER ROCK SECTIONS EXPOSED BY THE NEW LINEAR INVESTMENTS FOR THE GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN POLAND

The road-cuts and other new excavation works provide an excellent opportunity for upgrading the geological maps in Poland. Such opportunity should not be missed. Updating The Detailed Geological Map of Poland at the scale of 1:50 000 should be the priority. Ephemeral nature of the freshly cut outcrops makes this research rather urgent. It would require an adequate planning and organization. Geological mapping based on the new road-cuts and rock sections exposed by new investments should be one of the main tasks of the Geological Survey of Poland.

AbstractThe Geological Survey of The Netherlands is involved in a number of Quaternary engineering geological projects. Traditionally, a “top-down” approach is followed, that is, at a client’s request, thematic maps derived mainly from the basic data of the geological mapping Programme are produced. More recently, projects have been started that require a “bottom-up” approach: for each such project, criteria are formulated that are to be met throughout all phases of the project, that is, from data aquisition to the presentation of the results. Both approaches are needed to maintain the vitality of the geological advisory work as well as of the regular geological mapping programme.

The Geological Survey of Greenland continued in 1966 to carry out its three main tasks - the geological mapping of Greenland, the investigation of 'mineral deposits of economic interest and the publication of results. In addition the Survey has acted as geological adviser to the Ministry of Greenland in matters concerning the granting of mineral exploration concessions.

Dr. August Tobler was a well-known Swiss geologist, who, as one of the very first petroleum field geologists in the Netherlands Indies, did more than ten years of geological mapping in the tiger-infested jungles of South Sumatra. He first worked for the Koninklijke/Royal Dutch and Moeara Enim oil companies in South Sumatra from 1900 to 1904. This was followed by six more years of geological mapping in the Jambi basin, as the first non-Dutch geoscientist at the Dienst van het Mijnwezen (Geological Survey). His thoroughly documented monographs and geologic maps of his geological fieldwork in the Palembang and Jambi basins of South Sumatra, as well as the adjacent Barisan Mountains, set new standards for quality and detail.Much of the personal information on Dr. Tobler is from papers by Kugler (1930, 1963), Oppenoorth (1930), Stehlin (1931) and Hottinger (2013). This paper is one of the chapters from a new book that is being prepared by the first author, entitled Pioneers and Milestones of Indonesian Geology (~1820-1960).

Dimensional Mapping

This paper describes the principles of a new method for three-dimensional mapping of geological basic data from boreholes and wells. This method is developed by the Geological Survey of Denmark and uses cyclograms for graphical illustration of borehole records in stead of bar diagrams.The procedure and the technical tools for construction of the cyclogram and the map are described. Advantages and disadvantages of the method compared with other mapping methods are discussed.For illustration of the method a map of about 350 sq.km with more than 500 well-record-cyclograms is enclosed.
