Review of Survey activities 2012: Colophon, contents, introduction

Abstract

2012 was a good and stable year for the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). In recent years GEUS has been through a long – and very constructive – process of establishing a new strategy that reflects the changes in society and new demands from many different stakeholders. With a new strategy in place there has been greater focus on GEUS’ activities and research projects. 2012 was a very active year with many projects, field work and offshore data acquisition, which promises well for maintaining a high level of research in the coming years. With the establishment of the new series Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin in 2003 it was decided to make a yearly Review of Survey activities. This issue is the tenth and, together with previous issues, provides a good overview of the Survey’s wide range of research and advisory activities. This issue contains a total of 17 four-page papers, nine on Denmark, seven on Greenland and one on a project in Cameroon.
