Regional Gravity and Elevation Maps of Greenland,

Abstract

Maps of Bouguer and free-air gravity anomalies, regional structure, glacial ice thickness, elevation of bed rock, and topographic elevation are prepared for Greenland. The maps are contoured representations of 1 degree x 1 degree mean values. The Bouguer and free-air anomaly maps are based entirely upon values predicted by geophysical gravity correlation methods. The other maps are compiled from a variety of sources. The gravity anomaly variations are discussed with respect to the corresponding variations in elevation, ice thickness, and regional structure.
