Resumen de Secretive geologies: Danish and American agendas for the geological investigation of Greenland, 1946-1960
Between 1946 and 1958 a peculiar division of labour existed in the geological investigation of Greenland.
During this period, the ice-free lands of Greenland was generally explored in four largely independent institutional settings –one of them American and three of them Danish– each investigating their own region of the island according to their own agenda, and each having their own reasons for maintaining varying degrees of isolation from the others. Preliminary in nature, this paper attempts to outline some Danish and American institutional settings for geological investigations in Greenland, as well as some of the scientific and political agendas that they followed.
