Describes earth science investigations conducted at Centrum S℗ø, Northeast Greenland during May-August, 1960 to locate and test a potential emergency or air rescue airfield site on an ice-free, natural sandy surface. Contains maps, geological, meteorological, soil science and limnological information that support the conclusion that cargo aircraft could use the area for landing year-round, with minimal construction.
Since 1955, the Terrestrial Sciences Laboratory of Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories has been inv stigating ice-free natural land areas in North and East Greenland (Arctic Terrain Research Project 7628) to obtain scientific d ta applicable to aircraft operation in the Arctic. The importance of such data arise from the need for emergency airstrips to serve as alternate sites for the few existing airfields. Increased air traffic over the Arctic, coupled with the extremeAND OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS, FREQUENTLY PRECLUDES THE USE OF ESTABLISHED AIRFIELDS. (Author).
A summary of recent scientific and economic results, accompanied by a list of publications released in fiscal 1963, a list of geologic and hydrologic investigations in progress, and a report on the status of topographic mapping.
