Description :
The geomorphology of the Zackenberg area has been investigated with the purpose of establishing a geomorphological map of a 260 km2 area around the planned research station. Production of a large digital three-dimensional elevation model, based on the use of a multi-model photogrammetric method, has been the basis for a GIS database and a topographical map (1:50,000), covering the investigation area. Both glacial and periglacial landforms have been maped and a preliminary Late Weichselian glacial history of the Zackenberg area reconstructed.
