Sedimentological and structural studies of the Middle to Upper Devonian deposits in East Greenland were initiated in 1986 (Marcussen et al., 1987) and continued in 1987 (Marcussen et al., 1988) and in 1988. Field work was carried out from late June to late August, but during a three week period from late July to early August it was hampered by bad weather in the region. The 1988 activities were concentrated around Moskusoksefjord, on Gauss Halvø west of Gastisdal and in Moskusokselandet. Shorter periods were spent in Ole Rømer Land and in northern Hudson Land, with short visits to Ymer Ø and Geographical Society Ø (fig. 1).
