Preparation for a
possible claim beyond 200 NM north of Greenland -
The need for more geophysical data.
The Geological Survey
of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) together with other Danish Institutions is
presently planning acquisition of bathymetric, reflection and refraction
seismic data in the Arctic Ocean north of Greenland in preparation for a
possible claim beyond 200 NM in relation to UNCLOS §76. Funding for up to
5 acquisition seasons are presently considered by the Danish Government.
We would
therefore like to discuss technical possibilities and logistical
cooperation for a number of data acquisition seasons in the Arctic Ocean.
Main topics of interest are:
 |
Acquisition of
bathymetric data (primarily ship and submarine based)
|
 |
Methods for
acquisition of reflection and refraction seismic data (two
ship operations and /or from sea ice)
|
 |
Logistical
cooperation and co-funding
|
 |
Exchange of
data |
