Learning from the past: Impact of the Arctic Oscillation on sea ice and marine productivity off northwest Greenland over the last 9,000 years. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2020 We present the first continuous and high‐resolution diatom record from northeastern Baffin Bay spanning the last c. 9,000 years. Our data show that the variability in sea ice and primary production on the northwest Greenland shelf is linked to modulations in millennial‐scale Arctic Oscillation.

A review of oil and gas seepage in the Nuussuaq Basin, West Greenland – implications for petroleum exploration [PDF]
GEUS Bulletin, 2020 The Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland has an obvious exploration potential. Most of the critical elements are well documented, including structures that could form traps, reservoir rocks, seals and oil and gas seepage that documents petroleum generation ...

Lithostratigraphy of the Cretaceous–Paleocene Nuussuaq Group, Nuussuaq Basin, West Greenland [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2009 The Nuussuaq Basin is the only exposed Cretaceous–Paleocene sedimentary basin in West Greenland and is one of a complex of linked rift basins stretching from the Labrador Sea to northern Baffin Bay. These basins developed along West Greenland as a result

Lithostratigraphy, geology and geochemistry of the volcanic rocks of the Vaigat Formation on Disko and Nuussuaq, Paleocene of West Greenland [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2017 The Paleocene volcanic rocks in the Nuussuaq Basin on Disko and Nuussuaq comprise the Vaigat Formation (c. 62–61 Ma) and the Maligât Formation (c. 60 Ma). The Vaigat Formation in this area is 0–1600 m thick and is dominated by olivine-rich picrites.

Boreas, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 314-340, July 2023., 2023 Under glacial climates, continental ice sheets such as, e.g., the Greenland Ice Sheet, extended onto the continental shelves and often carved out deep cross‐shelf troughs. The sedimentary infill of such troughs commonly is a product of the complex interactions between the ice sheets, largely driving sediment input into the ocean, and the surrounding ...

Methodology for Evaluating the North Atlantic Igneous Province Reveals Multiple Hotspots at Breakup
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) has been the focus of numerous studies. However, a systematic integrated methodology to assess the NAIP, has so far been lacking. For this purpose, a synclinal oceanic rift approach is developed from the stratigraphic record.

GEUS Bulletin, 2022 The Palaeogene volcanic succession in the northern part of the Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland comprises three formations: the Vaigat and Svartenhuk Formations of Paleocene age (61–58 Ma) and the Naqerloq Formation of Eocene age (57–54 Ma).

Preliminary landslide mapping in Greenland
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2019 The landslide of 17 June 2017 in Karrat Fjord, central West Greenland, highlighted the need for a better understanding of landslides and landslide-generated tsunamis in Greenland and motivated a landslide screening project in 2018, led by the Geological ...

Geologic Provinces Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet Constrained by Geophysical Data Synthesis
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 8, 28 April 2024.Abstract Present understanding of Greenland's subglacial geology is derived mostly from interpolation of geologic mapping of its ice‐free margins and unconstrained by geophysical data. Here we refine the extent of its geologic provinces by synthesizing geophysical constraints on subglacial geology from seismic, gravity, magnetic and topographic data ...
