Abstract

Danish Journal of Geography 95: 28–41, 1995.

A study area at the northeastern shore of Mellemfjord, in the western part of Disko Island, near the western maximum limit of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Quaternary, was chosen for an analytic landscape study. Interactions between climate and landscape processes are designated for future detailed process research and monitoring. The project will focus on climatology, hydrology, energy exchanges at the terrain surface, mass fluxes and terrain element dynamics. Glacial, periglacial, fluvial and coastal landforms, soils and ecosystem record (in e.g. lakes and estuaries) will be used as geoindicators in this interdisciplinary analytic landscape investigation. Investigations in the about 100 km test area were initiated during the summer of 1993 and preliminary results are presented below.
