Understanding Precambrian to Present Assembly of Greenland
This project is aimed at studying the crust and mantle structure under Greenland, which reflects the Precambrian to modern tectonic assembly of the island. Seismological data provide important constraints that are otherwise unavailable due to the thick ice sheet that covers most of Greenland. Knowle...
