Grönland - História, geológia, geofizika és glaciológia

Greenland, this ice-covered, faraway continent is the topic of this study. Different remote sensing and geophysical measurements have supplemented the geological exploration work of this large island, characterized with arctic conditions and covered by the Greenland Ice Sheet. The remote sensing and geophysical observations allow us to apply a complex approach to data processing and interpretation. On the one hand, elements of plate tectonics (mid-oceanic range, hotspot), on the other hand, manifestations of arctic climate (ice sheets and glaciers) contributed to the evolution of Greenland. Land and ocean, ice and fire, geophysics and geology as well as climate with its consequences (on the human history) form the basis of the study appearing on the following pages.
