Two separate geophysical projects were carried out in 1988 as part of glacier-hydrological investigations of the margin of the Inland Ice. We made a reconnaissance electromagnetic resonance survey over the ice margin adjacent to Sermilik and Isortuarssup tasia, south-east of Nuuk/Godthåb and measured ice thickness along some lines in the area of Qamanârssûp serrnia, Kangiata nunâta sermia and Kangaussarssup sermia a short distance to the north, as well as a few profiles over a local ice cap just east of Isortuarssup tasia. In the Pâkitsoq area, north east of Ilulissat/Jakobshavn, we finished the mono-pulse ice radar work started last year (Thorning & Hansen, 1988a).
