Skaergaard intrusion

The Palaeogene Skaergaard intrusion in East Greenland, has since its first description by Wager & Deer (1939) been a foremost natural laboratory for the study of low-pressure fractionation of basaltic melt. The articles published in this special collection represent a part of more than eighty years worth of trendsetting works on the evolution of the Skaergaard intrusion and evolution of basaltic melt.

The collection is curated by editors at GEUS Bulletin, with guidance from Troels F D Nielsen (Emeritus, GEUS).
