It thus contains both current and discontinued series. The designation ‘nearly complete’ stems from the fact that some items not part of series and now out of print are not included, for example the Tectonic/geological map of Greenland (1:2 500 000) published in 1970 and the 600-page book Geology of Greenland published in 1976. The three current geological series of the Survey – the peer-reviewed Geological Survey of Den- mark and Greenland Bulletin and Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Map Series and the open-file series Danmarks og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse Rapport – contain material relating to all parts of the Kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland), as well to other countries where the Survey has activities. Only those volumes dealing with Greenland-related topics are cited in this catalogue and thus the numbering of these series is not consecutive. In 2002, the Survey entered into a formalised cooperation with other institutions when Geocenter Copenhagen was established (from 2006 changed into Geocenter Denmark). From 2007 this cooperation is with two institutes of the University of Copenhagen: the Geological Museum and the Department of Geography and Geology. In 2005, the Geocenter launched a popular scientific series in Danish, Geoviden – Geologi og Geografi that replaced Geologi – Nyt fra GEUS which was produced by the Survey between 1996 and 2004. Titles of articles pertaining to Greenland from this new series are included in this catalogue (section 13.1). In 2007, the official name of the national geological survey was changed to De Nationale Geolo- giske Undersøgelser for Danmark og Grønland (GEUS). However, the Survey’s former name Danmarks og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse is retained in the name of the Survey’s open-file series (Danmarks og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse Rapport, section 2.1).

As the name is long and somewhat cumbersome in both languages, it is for many purposes shortened to the official abbreviation GEUS, derived from the Danish name for a geological survey (GEologisk UnderSøgelse). 4 Contents 1.

Pulvertaft GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF DENMARK AND GREENLAND MINISTRY OF CLIMATE AND ENERGY Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 18 Keywords Archaean, Caledonides, Cenozoic, economic geology, geological map, Greenland, ice sheet, Mesozoic, offshore, orogenic belts, Palaeozoic, petroleum, Phanerozoic, Proterozoic, sedimentary basins. Cover illustration The cover design depicts mountains of the East Greenland Caledonian fold belt. The view, west of Mestersvig (located on map, page 4), is north over Bersærkerbræ and the northern part of the Stauning Alper to Kong Oscar Fjord with Traill Ø in the right backgro- und. The mountains up to 1800 m high are of the Neoproterozoic Eleonore Bay Supergroup. To the right: first author Niels Henriksen, for many years head of geological mapping at GGU/GEUS, and participant in field work in Greenland for more than 45 years. Frontispiece: facing page Major Caledonian syncline involving reactivated Archaean basement gneisses containing amphibolite bands. Overlying rusty coloured Mesoproterozoic metasediments (Krummedal supracrustal sequence) just visible in tight core of the fold. The intensity of deformation in the syncline clearly increases towards the core, where the basement gneisses become more strongly foliated. Some of the amphibolite bands were derived from cross-cutting basic intrusions, which are still discernable in the less severely deformed parts of the Archaean basement (Fig. 17, p. 31). The height of the section is c. 2000 m.

  • Sheep Farming As “An Arduous Livelihood”
    University of Alberta Cultivating Place, Livelihood, and the Future: An Ethnography of Dwelling and Climate in Western Greenland by Naotaka Hayashi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology ©Naotaka Hayashi Spring 2013 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment.
