This report contains the results of absolute and relative gravity measurements carried out in Nuuk (Greenland) in July 2005. The absolute gravimeter FG5#216 from the European Center for Geodynamics and Seismology was operated by Olivier Francis and Gilbert Klein from the University of Luxembourg. René Forsberg was present and provided assistance and logistic support during the measurements. The relative gravity measurements were carried out with the spring gravimeter Scintrex CG5#008 by the same team. During this campaign, we measured the gravity site previously occupied by the Hannover group in 1988 with a absolute gravimeter Jilag. In addition to the absolute gravity measurements, the vertical and horizontal gravity gradients were measured at the absolute gravity site. We also took part of the gravity survey of a network in and around Nuuk simultaneously with René Forsberg. He was operating a LaCoste-Romberg gravimeter. ...
