The article examines the linguistic and philosophical research of H. Skovoroda – a symbolic perception and interpretation of the world around. It was found out that the thinker sought to allegorically interpret the Bible, which he perceived as the only reliable source of happiness, he believed that the world of the Bible is the ideal otherness of the human world (microcosmos) and the universe (macrocosmos). The authors of the article analyzed one of the brightest symbols of the linguist – the symbol of the heart, which is the basis of all human actions, bad and good thoughts, the place where thoughts and feelings are born and grow, where the truth opens, this symbol is the center of human moral actions, his inherent thinking and will.
Memory cannot die: understanding of criminal psychiatry in the USSR in s. Protsiuk’s novel “The Grass cannot die”
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Danylenko Liudmyla
Published: June 2021

Reconstruction of the USSR`s life memory is extremely relevant, as it awakens awareness of the past traumas: the realities of the Soviet everyday life (standardization, patience, adaptation) and the cruel destruction of any attempt to uphold national identity. The interest in this topic is caused by the understanding of the modern problems in the development of the Ukrainian independence, especially in times of Russian military and ideological aggression. The works about the Soviet past appear in the Ukrainian literature one by one. Writers are driven not by the desire to immerse themselves in nostalgic memories of childhood or adolescence, but by the need to expose the destructive impact on the worldview, culture, language of the Ukrainians, and ultimately on our statehood. The article is devoted to a topic of memory about the struggle for the national freedom of the Ukrainians in the 1970's, which is represented in S. Protsiuk's novel “The grass cannot die”. The main focus of the analysis is the reconstruction of the Soviet past, the horrific systematic methods of the authorities against citizens who asserted their national identity in particular. Special attention is paid to the artistic comprehension of such phenomenon as punishment of «dissenters» by treatment in psychiatric medical institutions. The representation peculiarity of «punitive psychiatry» which is little known for the general public is traced. The author shows how real events of the past are reflected in the artistic text. She briefly analyzes the work of former Soviet political prisoners, including L. Pliushch’s memoir “At the Carnival of History”. At the center of the study is the image of a psychiatric hospital in Dnepropetrovsk. It is a contrast to the figure of the Ukrainian poet Maksym Tomylenko, a victim of punitive psychiatry. The author's ability to show the authenticity of events, the inner state of the characters and the surrounding circumstances are analyzed. Ideological and semantic role of the work is specified as a reminder of the past heroes, of the difficult way to fight for Ukraine, of its spiritual heritage. The author of the article proves that S. Protsiuk's novel opens the tragic pages of the past and dispels myths about the well-being of the Ukrainian nation in the USSR. Problematic issues of the work, its ideas and appropriate stylistics are essential in the complex study of the artistic vision of the Soviet past in contemporary prose.
Cultural realias in English language artistic discourse and peculiarities of their translation
Authors:   Sumy State University, Sharapova Mariia , Shumeiko Liudmyla ,   O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes cultural realias in English language artistic discourse and peculiarities of their translation. Some of the manifestations of cultural labelling are realias that make up significant difficulties for translators. The concept of realia is clarified. Cultural-specific units include both realias and other designations of cultural-specific features, traditions and customs. Realia is considered as a unique object or phenomenon characteristic of one ethnic or linguistic community; a cultural equivalent of this object or phenomenon; a means of nominating the corresponding cultural equivalent in a language. Different scientists present many classifications of realias based on different principles. The most complete classification of realities was developed by S. Vlakhov and S. Florin, who propose to classify realities using their subject, local, temporary and translation divisions. The difficulties of translating realias are considered and relevant translation techniques are described. Strategies for the transfer of culturally specific units are distinguished. The problem of translating realias is one of the difficult issues of translation studies, which causes many differences and difficulties due to their form, features, word formation capabilities, as well as the borrowing mechanism and functioning as a borrowed word. The cultural content of the original text is determined by the presence of the realias that are typical for the bearers of the culture of the source language. Translation of realias requires a set of translation techniques that provide linguistic and cultural accommodation. The translator, who is responsible for the choice of translation strategy, largely determines the degree of reflection of cultural differences in translation. The translator must be able to recognize realias and make them understandable in the culture of the translation language. In order to correctly convey the realia, the translator needs to know exactly what this realia means and what background information is behind it. In addition, the peculiarities of translating cultural-specific units from English to Ukrainian are revealed. It is found out that the translation of realias in English-language artistic discourse implies using contextual analogue, hyperonymic substitution, calquing, transliteration and omission. The most frequent cases were contextual analog and hyperonymic substitution.
The conceptual metaphor of play in P. Handke’s short novel «The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick»
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia National University, Kravchenko Yana
Published: June 2021

The paper focuses on determining the peculiarities of the conceptual metaphor of play in Peter Handke’s short novel «The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick». The modern humanitarian discourse views the metaphor not only in its narrow sense (as a means of literary expressiveness) but also in the wide one – as a way of thinking and perception of the world around, which enables defining specific textual strategies aimed at interpreting complex, abstract, and principally incomprehensible concepts with the help of comprehensive, understandable, and mainly visual images. In P. Handke’s novel, the play acquires an ontological status developing into a multi-layer conceptual metaphor and functions as a key to understanding meanings on different levels of text organization – paratextual, informative, compositional, figurative, symbolic, and stylistic ones. The analysis conducted testifies that the play elements and devices can be found in various processes, activities, and people’s behavior because the category of play appeals to universal concepts, such as order, choice, pleasure, strive for results, etc. The play is realized as a complex integrity of worldview characteristics, unity of action, consciousness and communication. In P. Handke’s novel, the play is a model of self-cognition and a strategy of the character’s communication with the world. Since the P. Handke’s novel presents a type of a new subjective protagonist, who is usually a person alienated from the social environment, it is the play that is able to replace the usual behavioral practices and stereotypes in his mind. The play aspect serves as a means of constructing the literary world and helps to convey philosophical ideas. As a conceptual metaphor, the notion of play is actualized in the novel in order to explain complex abstract concepts: a crisis of a person or understanding of human relationships in the modern world. The play discards the principles of determinism and hierarchy being a guarantee of creative freedom and polivariability of events. In addition, the category of play generates an ironic attitude to the surroundings. The play does not intend to stick to reality, but rather to concentrate on urgent problems and stereotypes. The story of Joseph Bloch is a story of growing alienation from reality, exclusion of a person from the social community which has become impossible to comprehend. The play motifs of escape, silence, hide-out, and wordplay are signs of ironic self-identification. The character’s mind reconsiders the values, which highlights the distinct opposition of civilization and nature, rational and mythological, biological and physiological, male and female, etc.
Development of the national art of word in Ivan Bagryany’s publicistic works
Authors:   National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Lipnytska Inna
Published: June 2021

Ivan Bagryany's publicistic works cover a wide range of problems of life of Ukrainians in exile after the Second World War, including the issue of the literary process. The purpose of the study is to analyze the author's position on the leading strategies for the development of the Ukrainian literature and the principles of its creation in the literary-critical articles of I. Bagryany. The author formed the vector of development of the Ukrainian literature without adhering exclusively to the artistic framework, because he believed that they could not bring literature to a qualitatively new level of development, the level of world recognition. I. Bagryany was convinced that literature should create the image of a man who seeks to preserve his human face under any adverse circumstances in the twentieth century. The purpose of artistic creativity is to find adequate metamorphic forms that can unite a divided nation. Among the problems that were criticized by the author are the following: discussion of the essence, directions of development, tendencies, ideology, functions of Ukrainian art of speech, protection of Ukrainian culture, language, literature from attacks by vulgar sociologists from the USSR, appeals against a totalitarian regime, repressions against representatives of the Ukrainian art, understanding the significance of the literature of the Shot Renaissance, in particular the figure of Mykola Khvylovy. The author also paid great attention to the development of the Ukrainian literature in the USSR, in particular, he actively criticized the anti-humanist ideology of the “empire in a new form, red”, which shapes the Kremlin's policy in the field of culture; ideologization of art and the functioning of a single method of reflecting reality – “socialist realism”, censorship of samples of artistic creativity, party supervision of the artist's work, and so on. I. Bagryany's emigrant journalism is directed against the blasphemy of the history of the culture and traditions of the Ukrainian people. In his literary-critical works Ivan Bagryany proved to be a shrewd researcher of the phenomena of the Ukrainian literature, in whose voice the artist of the word and the meticulous researcher, citizen, and thinker organically combined. The writer's articles, pamphlets, and essays are united by emotional polemics, ideology, power of speech, ruthless satire, and sarcasm in the evaluation of opponents. The works are marked by global thinking, the ability to say the most important things at a particular time in a given situation.
Conception of freedom in ancient world
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, Nikiforova Viktoriia
Published: June 2021

The aim of the study is to research the correspondence and difference of ancient Greek authors FREEDOM conception. The subject of the article is the investigation of freedom category interpretation by ancient Greek writers. The object of the study is the works of ancient Greek writers, poets, philosophers, concerned with major issues of freedom conception. The academic novelty of the investigation is as follows: the most significant definitions of FREEDOM by ancient Greek authors were researched and recapped. It was examined that humans’ freedom and their cognitive activity are the significant issues of the conception determination of freedom. The term FREEDOM is different for every person that is why we cannot insist categorically that one idea is right and the other is wrong. In this case the idea of freedom disappears. Some philosophers consider that initially no Greek word ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ, no Latin LIBERTAS didn’t have philosophical meanings. Ancient Greeks believed that destiny, fate, necessity run humans. The idea of Freedom emerged in Ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks were first, who began to consider the issue of freedom both in the political and philosophic senses of the word. They tried to create the first state institutions defended human freedom. This concept had a lot of meanings in ancient times: the domination of intellect over emotions, conscience control, responsibility for actions, independency, and privilege for life, right to manipulate slaves. The idea of “being free” appeared much earlier than the conception of “freedom”. According to Homer to be free for person means to have an opportunity to live on your dear land. Particularly in Homer’s poems we are able to find the generation of the human right choice idea. Herodotus was the first scientist who formed the social meaning of the word FREEDOM. The definition of FREEDOM as philosophical term was used by sophists for the first time ever. According to Socrates FREEDOM is a self-control, physical instincts control. Plato in his turn considers that humans have a right of choice, but their freedom is not absolute. The analysis of the philosophical views and approaches concerning freedom conception in antiquity is conducted to prove that that freedom was the most significant value of ancient world. Ancient philosophers emphasized the polis freedom, internal and external freedom (stoics), freedom as self-control (Socrates), freedom as material independency (Plato), freedom as permissiveness (cynics), freedom as capacity for good. Ancient Greek and Modern Greek lexicographical sources show both analogies and differences of language objectification of FREEDOM conception. We consider appropriate to analyze these analogies and differences of various discourse’s types as the further prospective of this theme investigation.
The image of the scientist in the works of V. Korolenko
Authors:   Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University, Orlov Oleksii
Published: June 2021

The article considers the connection of the works of V. G. Korolenko with the literary Western European tradition of depicting prominent people, labelled by the stamp of genius, who left a noticeable mark in science. The concept of genius is considered in the interpretation of philosophers I. Kant, A. Schopenhauer and F. Nietzsche, who saw it as consistent with their theories: contemplation and self-denial, will, energy of all previous generations. According to philosophical concepts, the following main trends in the literature of the nineteenth century were formed: the image of fanatical thieves from the works of M. Shelley, G. Wells, or infantile observers, as the heroes of the works of J. Verne – eccentrics detached from the real life. The realistic tradition in the depiction of images of scientists is considered on the example of the work of A. Chekhov «Boring Story». The image of a scientist created by a writer reflects the main contradiction in the life of a creative person – the discrepancy between life in science and real existence. There wasn’t any difference between creative and real life for V. Korolenko. He «lived as he wrote, and wrote as he lived». The great righteous man of everyday life, a missionary of spiritual deeds, the writer Korolenko created an image of the scientist Izborsky similar to his own life principles. The narrative structure of the work enabled the author to reflect on his student's past and think about his own unrealized future. It is hypothesized that Korolenko could be new Timiryazev or Mendeleev; however he chose the way forward active citizenship and revolutionary mood. The paper examines how the writer transformed the image of the scientist, which developed in European literature, into a new type of hero, due to socio-historical conditions and the spiritual search for time. The images of scientists created in the story «On both sides» and partly in the novel «The Story of My Contemporary» are analyzed from two points of view – the narrator-student and professor-teacher. A young man, who is also in a difficult mind condition, perceives personality, oratory, moral principles of the scientist Izborsky. The analysis of the narrator's structure helps to determine the conceptual features of the image of an ascetic scientist, among which is paid attention to the presence in the works of historical context, the strength of moral influence on students, admiration for the prospects of scientific discoveries.
Internal monologue as a narrative manner of A. Schnitzler’s novella “Lieutenant Gustl”
Authors:   Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University, Brodska Oksana
Published: June 2021

In the article the main attention is focused on A. Schnitzler’s novella “Lieutenant Gustl”, which is analyzed from the point of view of the internal monologue used in it. The analysis is carried out, on the one hand, by theoretical consideration of the work and, on the other hand, we show the influences and references that led to the development of this method of narration. Modern literary theoretical approaches and models are presented, interdisciplinary currents of the spirit of the time, such as psychoanalysis are shown and how they are mutually conditioned. It has been found out that the work is based on the manner of narration – an internal monologue, which is reflected with the help of lexical and syntactical means of expression. At the same time, A. Schnitzler comes to the organization of literary-figurative material of the work in a special way. This is manifested, firstly, in the development of the writer’s methods and techniques of self-analysis; thanks to this, he highlighted the experience of a tragic event that happened in the life of an officer; secondly, in expanding functional possibilities of the depicting plan. The novella “Lieutenant Gustl” presents such a narrative perspective as inner focus (sympathy). The narrator corresponds to the character and can control his speech through grammatical and rhetorical means. This is, so to say, personal narrative behavior focused on one figure (autonomous internal monologue). The internal monologue is characterized by grammatical, narrative and psychologically-semantic features, which is a kind of scientific experiment, which the novelist embodies by means of literature, making it unrecognizable. At the same time, he makes a contribution to the subject-object problematics of modern thinking and criticizes the loss of life practice due to the one-sided predominance of theory. Schnitzler was one of the first writers in the German-language literature who purposefully used the form of an internal monologue. A striking example is the novella “Lieutenant Gustl”, the narration of which is told entirely from the inner perspective of the main character. His thoughts are formulated as improper-direct speech, the author refuses from quotation marks, uses the narrative perspective of inner focus: he knows the inner world of Gustl and allows the reader to participate in it. It completely goes to the background, that is why the whole text consists only of the language of the character. Therefore, the use of an internal monologue with a continuous fixation of Gustl’s thoughts is aimed at open reproduction of his feelings, and thus, the reader has the illusion of being able to directly penetrate into the world of the protagonist’s thoughts.

Preliminary results of mapping in the crystalline complex around Nordvestfjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland
Authors: Henriksen N , Higgins A.K
Published: June 2021

The crystalline complex which outcrops around the inner part of Nordvestfjord to the south of latitude 72°N, and around the Bjørneøer situated at the entrance to Nordvestfjord, was mapped by GGU in the summer of 1968 at a scale of 1:50 000. The following geologists participated in the mapping project (areas mapped by each geologist are given in brackets): J. D. Friderichsen, Copenhagen (SW Hinks Land and south of Flyverfjord); N. Henriksen, Copenhagen (valleys west and south of Flyverfjord and a zone of the western nunataks); A. K. Higgins, Copenhagen (as N. Henriksen); F. Kalsbeek, Aarhus (Bjørneøer and surroundings); F. Keller, Basle (NE of Nordvestfjord); E. Kirsbo, Copenhagen (NE Hinks Land) and A. Steck, Basle (NW Hinks Land and Charcot Land). The preliminary results of the mapping are presented in this paper together with a geological map on a scale of 1:500 000. In the coming years most of the participants will publish detailed accounts of their individual areas and geological map sheets on a scale of 1:100 000 will be published by GGU.
The Precambrian rocks of the Egedesminde–Christianshåb area, West Greenland
Authors: Henderson G
Published: June 2021

Most of the area described consists of quartzo-feldspathic gneisses with zones and bands of mica schist and pelitic gneiss, amphibolite, and a few thin marble and calc-silicate bands. Granitic rocks are also present, but are of minor importance. A large quartz diorite body is thought to represent a folded and metamorphosed intrusive sheet. Two metamorphic complexes are present, a predominantly amphibolite facies complex and a granulite facies complex. Migmatites are a prominent feature in some areas of mica schist and pelitic gneiss. At least two, and probably three, deformation phases are represented. A good correlation has been established with adjoining areas.
The mode of occurrence and petrogenesis of the sapphirine-bearing and associated rocks of West Greenland
Authors: Herd R.K , Windley B.F , Ghisler M
Published: June 2021

Seven occurrences of sapphirine-bearing rocks in the Fiskenæsset region are described in detail. They occur within a chromite-layered anorthosite complex that was metamorphosed by a hornblende-granulite facies metamorphism and then by a cordierite-amphibolite facies metamorphism. They were derived from spinel-layered ultramafic rocks that mostly occur as layers and lenses along the contacts between major metaanorthosite and pyribolite/amphibolite horizons within the complex. There are four types of sapphirine-bearing rocks - enstatite, pargasite, gedrite and phlogopite types, which represent a petrogenetic sequence involving increasing degrees of Si, Ca, K and H2O metasomatism related to shearing and deformation along meta-anorthosite-pyribolite junctions. Their relationship to associated non-sapphirine-bearing rocks is described. Brief mineralogical and petrological data are given for the principal minerals and rocks. In addition, two occurrences in the Sukkertoppen region are described in detail; these are also localised in meta-norite-ultramafic lenses in high grade gneisses. It is concluded that sapphirine is stable within a wide range af pressure and temperature conditions, but within a limited range of chemical environments.
Field work on marble and calc-silicate rocks in the Nordre Strømfjord region
Authors: Sørensen P.B
Published: June 2021

As a member of the group working in the Agto-Nordre Strømfjord area (see Bondesen, this report) the writer studied and collected from the extensive outcrops of marble and associated calc-silicate rocks which occur in the region, especially around Nordre Strømfjord. Ramberg (1949) divided the Nagssugtoqidian fold belt in this region into the Isortoq Complex and the Egedesminde Complex, the first characterised by granulite facies metamorphism and the latter by amphibolite facies. K. Sørensen (personal communication) has indicated that a metamorphic gradient exists in the Isortoq Complex from the north to the south in the western part of the Agto sheet area, as seen by the increasing amount of orthopyroxene in the basic rocks. The field data obtained on the calcareous rocks can be correlated with this scheme although a detailed study is necessary.
Preliminary results of mapping in the crystalline complex of Renland, the southern Stauning Alper and south-west Liverpool Land, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland
Authors: Henriksen N , Higgins A.K
Published: June 2021

The Caledonian crystalline complex of Renland and the southem Stauning Alper, south and north of the outer part of Nordvestfjord, was mapped by GGU (Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse) on a 1:50 000 scale in the summer of 1969. The region to the west, around the inner part of Nordvestfjord, was mapped in 1968 (Henriksen & Higgins, 1969). To the east the crystalline complex is bordered by prominent faults which separate it from the Upper Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks of the Jameson Land basin.

Published: June 2021

In the 1969 summer season mapping was concentrated in those areas of southern Scoresby Land and northern Jameson Land which had not been visited in 1968 (see Birkelund & Perch-Nielsen, 1969). Mapping was extended westward to the main fault of the post-Caledonian sedimentary basin against the Stauning Alper and to the south as far as 71°10'. The field work was carried out by R. G. Bromley, L. and C. Malmros, K. Perch Nielsen, J. Bruun-Petersen, C. Heinberg, and E. Hjelmar. The preliminary results of the mapping are given in this report together with a geological map at a scale of 1:300 000, compiled from the existing maps (Aellen, in press; Bearth & Wenk, 1959; Callomon, in press; Triimpy & Grasmiick; 1969) and our own observations. Special attention was given to trace fossils by. R. G. Bromley and the heavy mineral assemblages in the Mesozoic sediments by J. Bruun-Petersen.
Chemical data on some rock-forming minerals from high-grade gneisses, amphibolites and anorthosites from the Fiskenæsset area
Authors: Frisch T
Published: June 2021

The area mapped by the writer is situated to the west of Fiskenæsset and lies in the boundary zone between granulite and amphibolite facies rocks (see Kalsbeek, this report). In the north a creamy- to pink-weathering gneiss, commonly containing hypersthene and biotite is the chief rock type. In the south small-folded, pale-grey weathering biotite-hornblende gneisses are predominant. Amphibolite is of common occurrence in layers, pods and agmatite. The areal extent of the anorthosite-pyribolite complex as previously outlined by reconnaissance mapping (Ghisler & Windley, 1967) was confirmed in general but modified in detail. Additional occurrences of rocks belonging to the complex were found.

Published: June 2021

Temperature measurements in drill holes have been carried out in the Ivigtut area and in the Ilimaussaq intrusion near Narssaq as the start of a general heat flow investigation in South Greenland. As this kind of work has not previously been done in Greenland and heat flow data from arctic areas are still very few it is hoped that the results will contribute to a better understanding of world-wide heat flow patterns and their relationship to major tectonic provinces.

It is a medium-grained quartz-plagioclase-epidote gneiss with biotite and green hornblende. Microline has been identified as a minor component. Both feldspars are heavily twinned and quartz grains show polygonisation. Biotite, hornblende and epidote are intimately intergrown indicating that the rock has not reached full equilibrium after deformation. Sphene, apatite and opaque ore are all common accessories.
Significance of K/Ar age determinations from northern Peary Land
Authors: Dawes P.R , Soper N.J
Published: June 2021

Following the 1969 field work in northern Peary Land (Dawes & Soper, 1970) seven rocks were chosen for a preliminary age dating programme - two volcanics from the Kap Washington Group, four metasedimentary schists and a single sample from a cross-cutting E-W dolerite dyke. The details of these determinations are listed elsewhere in this report (see p. 53).
Holocene shore-lines and glacial stages in Greenland - an attempt at correlation
Authors: Weidick A
Published: June 2021

Post-Wisconsinian uplift of West, North and East Greenland has been estimated on the basis of information in current literature and compared to the data collected by the author in central West Greenland. For West and North Greenland the dated uplift allows an estimate to be made of the age of former shore-lines, which in turn have been used to date the stages of the extent of the Inland lce. The results have been compared with published information on the age of glacial stages in East Greenland. The estimated ages of the ice margin stages imply a history of deglaciation in West (and North?) Greenland comparable to that of North America. In both areas the major deglaciation took place after the Younger Dryas and a marked halt took place in Boreal times. It is possibie that the history of East Greenland is more closely related to that of Scandinavia where a widespread deglaciation took place prior to the Younger Dryas. The deglaciation of North Greenland was interrupted by a marked readvance or readvances during the climatic optimum. It is possible that the northward shift of the low pressure centres during this period led to an increased accumulation on the northern part of the Inland lce.

The reconnaissance age determination programme started at the "Institute für Kristallographie und Petrographie" of the "Eidg. Technische Hochschule" in Zürich has been continued. To verify the pre-Caledonian ages found last year in the Stauning Alper, additional minerals were analysed from some of the previously dated rock samples. The results on these, and on a group of other samples, clearly confirm the presence of extensive Precambrian rock units within the Caledonian fold belt. In table 6 the rocks are subdivided into four main groups on the basis of their geological relations.
Review of the Survey's activities in 1972
Authors: Ellitsgaard-Rasmussen K
Published: June 2021

In 1972 the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) continued activities in Greenland on the same scale as in the previous year, with a total of 127 people travelling to Greenland from Copenhagen to take part in geological, glaciological and geophysical work in eight major areas. The Survey, in its capacity as the official government department of the Ministry for Greenland dealing with geological affairs, carries out a variety of tasks involving geological mapping and prospecting, specialised investigations and the evaluation of potentially economic sites, as well as advising the Ministry on a number of matters concerning concession rights for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and extraction. With the continuing steady increase in interest surrounding the mineral and hydrocarbon potential of Greenland, considerably more emphasis is being placed on economic matters. With this development the inevitable reorganisation of the internal structure of the Survey has begun and has been heralded by the formation of a section dealing with oil and gas geology to join the much larger mapping department. Other sections are expected to follow as the Survey grows steadily larger in the coming years.
Preliminary observations on the palaeomagnetism and radiometric ages of the Tertiary basalt sequence of Scoresby Sund, East Greenland
Authors: Hailwood E.A , Tarling D.H , Mitchell J.G , Løvlie R
Published: June 2021

During the 1972 summer field season a detailed sampling programme was undertaken on the Tertiary basalt sequence on the south side of Scoresby Sund, East Greenland, with the view to obtaining a systematic collection of orientated samples for palaeomagnetic work. Additional samples were collected from key localities for radiometric age determinations. A previous palaeomagnetic pilot-study of a limited number of samples from the Tertiary lavas of this region by Tarling (1967), indicated the presence of a moderately stable remanent magnetisation, which was reversed with respect to the Earth's present magnetic fieid. The present work has been undertaken in the hope that a detailed study of the remanent magnetisation of the whole sequence might reveal changes in polarity which could be used for correlation purposes. The establishment of a polarity reversal sequence in these lavas has been attempted previously by Watt & Watt (1971), on the basis of the direct measurement of magnetic polarity in the fieid, using a hand compass. In order to check the reliability of such field polarity determinations, a portable fluxgate magnetometer was used to make slightly more accurate direct measurements, which could subsequently be compared with the much more precise results obtained from laboratory measurement of the carefully orientated samples.

To supplement the reconnaissance age determination programme carried out at the Institute flir Kristallographie und Petrographie of the Eidg. Technische Hochschule in Zurich, a number of K/Ar determinations have been made. This method is particularly useful for dating minerals from more basic rocks that are not suited for Rb/Sr age work and for cross-checking some of the previous results obtained by other methods (Hansen & Steiger, 1971; Hansen et al., 1972; Steiger & Henriksen, 1972). In table 2 the samples dated are subdivided in four main groups on the basis of their geological relations.
A dynamic model for a meniscus filled tunnel (Ancoricknus n. ichnogen.) from the Jurassic Pecten Sandstone of Milne Land, East Greenland
Authors: Heinberg C
Published: June 2021

A new type of meniscus filled tunnel is described and designated Ancorichnus ancorichnus n. ichnogen., n. ichnosp. The trail is functionally analysed in terms of the anchor method used by soft bodied animais in penetrating soft substrates. The whole trace fossil assemblage, consisting of Ancorichnus, Planolites, Muensteria, small meniscus tunnels and Gyrochorte, is described. The structure and trophic groups of the different meniscus filled tunnels are compared.
Investigations on recent sediments in the Fiskenæsset region, southern West Greenland
Authors: Heling D
Published: June 2021

During the regional geological mapping centred on the base camp Midgård (see Kalsbeek, this report) sampling of recent sediments from lakes and fjords, as well as from the surface was undertaken by the author. The first month was spent sampling from five major fjords, Buksefjord, Sermilik, Grædefjord, Fiskenæsfjorden and Bjørnesund. In addition, the sediments in front of Frederikshåbs Isblink were inspected and sampled. During the second month samples were taken from some lakes within the drainage area of Fiskenæsfjorden and Grædefjord.
Stratigraphy and structure of the Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Marrait kitdlît area, Nûgssuaq
Authors: Henderson G
Published: June 2021

The volcanic rocks of north-west Nugssuaq are highly faulted. In order to throw some light on the details of their structure the author undertook detailed mapping in various parts of Nugssuaq in 1971 and 1972; Marrait kitdlît was one of the areas investigated. Marrait kitdlît is situated on the south-west side of the Nugssuaq peninsula 6 km south-east of the mouth of the Itivdle valley.
A metamorphosed basic dyke swarm in the vicinity of Sarqarigsup nunâ (Ravns Storø area), Fiskenæsset, southern West Greenland
Authors: Friend C.R.L
Published: June 2021

Ancient dyke swarms have been used successfully as time markers throughout the Archaean of West Greenland, particularly in subdividing the early Archaean in the Godthåb region (McGregor, 1973). This paper describes a swarm of metamorphosed basic dykes which cut across the lithologicallayering and an early tectonic fabric in the Ravns Storø group of metavo1canic and plutonic rocks. Previously only sporadic occurrences of metamorphosed basic dykes have been noted in the Fiskenæsset region. The Sarqarigsup nuna swarm may thus have a significant part to play in the division of the events which have taken place in the area from the Frederikshåbs Isblink to Bjørnesund and perhaps even further north.
Uranium content of the Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex at Majorqap qâva
Authors: Myers J.S
Published: June 2021

The uranium content of 25 samples from the Majorqap qâva outcrop of the Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex were determined to obtain an outline of the uranium distribution both in the different major rock types and at different stratigraphic levels within this layered igneous complex. Analyses were made at the Danish Atomic Energy Commission Research Establishment at Risø by delayed neutron counting folIowing neutron activation, under the direction of Leif Løvborg early in 1973. The Majorqap qåva outcrop is divided into four major units which are in upward succession: lower leucogabbro (50 m), gabbro (40 m), upper leucogabbro (60 m), and anorthosite (200 m). The main rock types are metamorphosed and partly metamorphosed anorthosite, leucogabbro, gabbro, and ultramafic rock, which chiefly consist of plagioclase (An 80-98) and green hornblende, with minor amounts of biotite, pyroxene, olivine, spinel, magnetite and chromite.
Some minor and trace elements in Archaean marbles and metamorphosed silico-carbonatites from the Fiskenæsset region
Authors: Bollingberg H , Hopgood A.M , Kalsbeek F
Published: June 2021

In 1970, A. M. Hopgood found rare concordant marble layers within the gneisses near Frederikshåbs Isblink. At that time, there was considerable discussion among the geologists participating in the mapping ofthe Fiskenæsset region on the origin ofthese gneisses. The finding of these marble layers indicated a sedimentary origin for at least some of the gneisses, provided that the marbles themselves were metasediments, and not, for example, meta-carbonatitic lavas. To answer this last question an investigation of some trace elements in these rocks was undertaken. Very fortunately Hopgood also found a few discordant carbonate-rich rocks in the same area so that a direct comparison between the two rock types could be made. The analyses reported in this paper were made by H. Bollingberg in the Spectrographic Laboratory of the Petrological Institute of Copenhagen University. The study was suggested and coordinated by F. Kalsbeek.
Late Precambrian trace fossils from the Thule Group, western North Greenland
Authors: Dawes P.R , Bromley R.G
Published: June 2021

The general 'unfossiliferous' nature of the thick, unmetamorphosed sediments of the Thule Group has been recognised since the last century. During field work in 1971 and 1974 a search was made by P. R. D. for organic remains but the only fossils encountered were stromatolites in some calcareous rocks and the trace fossils described here from thin bedded sandstones. Isotopic age dating of dolerites intruding the Thule Group shows that the Wolstenholme and Dundas Formations are of late Precambrian age and suggests that the younger Narssarssuk Formation is oi similar age (Dawes et al., 1973).
Geological and geophysical investigations between 69°N and 72°N, central West Greenland
Authors: Schiener E.J , Henderson G
Published: June 2021

The mapping programme initiated in 1971 (Henderson, 1972, 1973; GGU, 1973) was continued and extended to inland areas on Nûgssuaq, Disko and Svartenhuk Halvø. The sampling programme, designed for geochemical, sedimentological and palynological studies of the Nûgssuaq embayment (Schiener, 1974) was intensified, with concentration on the south coast and on parts of the north coast of Nugssuaq. Sampling for palaeomagnetic studies on dykes and dyke swarms in the Precambrian basement and a detailed investigation of sulphide mineralisation in Tertiary intrusives on Disko was undertaken as a special project. In the spring a grid of magnetic and gravimetric stations was established on the sea-ice between Umanak Fjord and Karrats Isfjord, concentrating on the Igdlorssuit Sund area, with support from local Greenlanders. A total of seven two-man groups were involved in the investigations during the summer season from the middle of June to early September. Logistically these parties were to some extent dependent on locally hired transport: however, the GGU ship K. J. V. Steenstrup with Andreas Vmstein as skipper provided the backbone of logistics and communications. Transport inland was facilitated by six 'all-terrain' motor-cycles.
Field work on the Precambrian basement in the Buksefjord region, southern West Greenland

Published: June 2021

Five two-man teams from the University of Exeter spent a third field season mapping in the area of Buksefjorden as part of the GGU mapping programme in the Fiskenæsset region organised by GGU in conjunetion with the University of Exeter (Chadwiek & Coe, 1973; Chadwick et al., 1974a). Mapping at 1:20000 was begun by J. S., K. C. and K. V. in areas north and south-east of Buksefjorden and north of Alangordlia respeetively, while P. W. completed the area between Sermilik and Alângordlia east of Amitsuarssugssuaq. B. C. mapped Qilângârssuit, Simiutat and associated islands in the skaergaard south of Angissorssuaq at a scale of 1:10000. The group was supported by helicopters and the GGU cutters J. F. Johnstrup and Villiaumit organised by Feiko Kalsbeek from Midgård. Boat assistance was also provided by V. R. McGregor in mapping the outer islands. The exceptionally fine weather enabled good progress and more than 60% of the Buksefjorden sheet isnow completed. Localities referred to in the text may be found by reference to 1:250000 maps 64 V. 1 Godthåb and 63 V. 1 Færingehavn.

During the summer of 1974 and in previous years the writer mapped parts of the volcanic sequence around Niaqornat on the north coast of Nûgssuaq. The results of the regional mapping by the writer and others have been published in the Agatdal map sheet (The Geological Survey of Greenland, 1974). Certain hitherto undescribed large-scale features of the vo1canic rocks are described here.
Cambrian - Early Ordovician stratigraphy in south-western Washington Land, western North Greenland
Authors: Henriksen N , Peel J.S
Published: June 2021

Geological reconnalssance undertaken in recent years by Dawes (1971; 1975), and Peel & Christie (1975) in preparation for a major mapping project in North Greenland continued in 1975 with a six week season in south-westem Washington Land (fig. 5). The aim was to estabIish a reference profile through the lowermost Palaeozoic sequence between Cass Fjord and Humboldt Gletscher, and to obtain a preliminary idea of the possibilities for geological mapping of the platform terrain.
Sampling of measured sections for palynological and other investigations between 69° and 72°N, central West Greenland
Authors: Croxton C.A
Published: June 2021

The objective of the programme was to establish a grid of accurately measured standard stratigraphical sections with a closely spaced sampling interval. The samples are being initially processed for palynological investigations by the writer, and also for a specific study of dinoflagelIate cysts under a project financed by the Danish Natural Science Research Foundation (SNF). Selected samples are being used for organic geochemical studies (Schiener, this report). The collection could possibly also be the basis for a study of non acid-resistant microfossils. The programme is a continuation of work done in earlier years (Schiener, 1974; Schiener & Henderson, 1975) and forms part of a basin study.
Study of organic matter in Cretaceous - Tertiary sediments, central West Greenland
Authors: Schiener E.J
Published: June 2021

Source-rock investigations have been carried out on behalf of GGU for a number of years. The primary objective was an evaluation of the oil generating potential of the dark shales of the Nûgssuaq peninsula (Henderson, 1969: Stevens et al., 1974). Samples from East and North Greenland were also analysed for the same purpose (Stevens et al., 1973; 1974).
