Presentation and interpretation of structural data from the Nagssugtoqidian orogen using a GIS platform:General trends and features
In this contribution we present data collected by more than 50 international geologists involved in geological mapping and research projects in the Nagssugtoqidian orogen of West Greenland, organised by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and the Danish Lithosphere Centre. Using a geograp...

In this contribution we present data collected by more than 50 international geologists involved in geological mapping and research projects in the Nagssugtoqidian orogen of West Greenland, organised by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and the Danish Lithosphere Centre.

The GIS methodology allows comparison, integration and analysis of datasets in terms of subject, space, and scale.
