| Summary: | In Geology Today (2008, v.24, no.1,) I traced the history of geological research in northeast Greenland, research that has culminated in the new and impressive map of the region produced by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. But what did all this endeavour, spread over more than 150 years, and involving hundreds of geologists and costing perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, achieve? Here I summarize the results: the understanding of the evolution of this region over billions of years. |
