Abstract
Glaciological investigations in Johan Dahl Land, southern West Greenland, were started in 1977 by GGU in connection with the proposal for a hydroelectric project in the Nordbosø basin (ACG/VBB, 1975). The Nordbogletscher with an area of 208 km2 covers 68 per cent of the basin area and is the most important water source. The work of the GGU has therefore concentrated on the Nordbogletscher and the relation between its mass balance and dimate, while the Greenland Technical Organization (GTO) is measuring runoff from the Nordbosø as well as making engineering studies. Results from GGU's fieldwork are published in annual reports, e.g. Olesen & Weidick (1978) and Clement (1980).Keywords
