For some time organic geochemical evaluation of an appreciable number of surface samples from the Cretaceous-Tertiary sediments of West Greenland was performed by companies and research institutes outside Denmark (Schiener, 1976). In order to provide immediate controlof the data produced, as well as to acquire the necessary expertise within Denmark, laboratory facilities for organic geochemical analysis were set up in GGU in the spring 1977 with financial support from the Danish Natural Science Research Council (SNF). Establishing these facilities is part of an energy research project initiated by SNF in late 1973 to evaluate fossil fuel potentials of sedimentary basins in Greenland.

Project DANA 79 is a part of GGU's geophysical investigations of the East Greenland shelf with special reference to the oil and gas potential of the continental margin. The programme also includes a regional aeromagnetic survey called EASTMAR (Larsen & Thorning, this report) and the planned deep seismic investigations (Risum, this report). Project DANA 79 was designed to provide knowledge of the geology of the sea floor and the shallow (0-300 m) subsurface. Special emphasis was put on the delineation of the basement and of the sedimentary basins on the shelf. The project was mainly sponsored as an energy related research programme by the Danish Ministry of Trade, Industry and Shipping, and was also supported by the Danish Natural Science Research Council.

Interpretive Flexibility

The article examines science-policy conversations mediated by social science in attempts to govern, or set up terms for, scientific research. The production of social science research accounts about science faces challenges in the domains of emerging technosciences, such as nano. Constructing notions of success and failure, participants in science actively engage in the interpretation of policy notions, such as the societal relevance of their research. Industrial engagement is one of the prominent themes both in policy renditions of governable science, and in the participants’ attempts to achieve societally relevant research, often oriented into the future. How do we, as researchers, go about collecting, recording, and analyzing such future stories? I examine a series of recent interviews conducted in a number of US universities, and in particular at a university campus on the West Coast of the United States. The research engages participants through interviews, which can be understood as occasions for testing the interpretive flexibility of nano as “good” scientific practice and of what counts as societal relevance, under what circumstances and in view of what kind of audiences.

In 1991 a three year research project was initiated by the Geological Institute, University of Copenhagen with financial support from the Ministry of Energy, the Danish Natural Science Research Council and the Carlsberg Foundation. The 'Wandel Sea Basin: basin analysis' project was carried out in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Greenland and included field work in North Greenland; in eastern Peary Land in 1991 and Amdrup Land in 1993 (Fig. 1; Hakansson et al., 1994). The project is a continuation of earlier investigations in the Wandel Sea Basin carried out during geological mapping of North Greenland by the Geological Survey of Greenland in 1978–1980 and during later expeditions to the area (e.g. Hakansson, 1979; Hakansson et al., 1981, 1989, 1991, 1994). Hydrocarbon related studies of the Wandel Sea Basin were continued during the 1994 field season (Stemmerik et al., this report).

The distribution of carbohydrates, lipids and enzymes in the daughter sporocyst and contained cercariae of Cercaria bucephalopsis haimaena Lacaze-Duthiers, 1854, is mapped and used as an indication of metabolism. It is concluded that host glucose, glycogen, fatty acids and neutral lipids are absorbed and pass through the syncytial tegument into the cellular sub-tegument. They are then either metabolized or passed into the body cavity and contained cercariae. Glucose seems to be either converted into glycogen and glycoproteins or metabolized anaerobically. The end products of anaerobic respiration are fatty acids and neutral lipids. These pass into the excretory system, which flushes them into the body cavity of the daughter sporocyst, from where they enter the body of the developing cercariae. In the cercariae they are deposited, together with host lipids, possibly as less toxic higher fatty acids or other stored lipids. The stored glycogen and lipids in the cercariae are probably utilized aerobically during the free-living existence. The transport of nutrients and excretory products across the cell membranes may be aided by alkaline phosphatase and esterase activity, as is the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids. Acid mucopolysaccharide precursors appear to be synthesized in the dense cytoplasm of the mid-tegument of the daughter sporocyst and secreted into the host's visceral haemocoel. Acid phosphatase and esterase found in this region may be involved in the synthesis and also in the breakdown of complex incoming nutrients.We are grateful to Professor E. W. Knight-Jones for laboratory facilities and to the Science Research Council for a grant to one of us (E. A. B.) which made the work possible.

Fossil Fuel Energy

CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is the only technology available to achieve a deep cut in CO2emissions from large-scale fossil fuel usage. Although Guangdong Province has less heavy industries and higher reliance on energy import compared with many other provinces in China, CCS is still essential for the low-carbon development in the province. This is because fossil fuel energy is now and will be in the foreseeable future the major energy in Guangdong. CCS may have other benefits such as helping energy security and bring new business opportunities. The feasibility of CCS development in Guangdong is ensured by the existence of sufficient CO2storage capacity in offshore sedimentary basins in the northern South China Sea. A safe CO2storage is achievable as long as the selection of storage sites and the storage operations are in restrict quality control. The increased cost and energy penalty associated with CCS could be reduced through technical R&D, the utilization of captured CO2, and the utilization of infrastructure of offshore depleted oil fields. Fossil fuel energy plus CCS should be regarded as a new type of clean energy and deserves similar incentive policies that have been applied to other clean energies such as renewables and nuclear.
