TL;DR: The uplift history of the Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene sedimentary successions underneath the extensive Tertiary flood basalts of West and East Greenland supports recently described models for the generation of flood basalt provinces in response to rising, hot, mantle plumes.

TL;DR: The Kangerlussuaq basin in southern East Greenland represents a unique outcrop analog for the frontier petroleum provinces along the deep-water volcanic margins of the northern North Atlantic as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a revised stratigraphy for pre-volcanic sedimentary rocks and synvolcanics pyroclastic and epiclastic deposits and lavas from the Kangerlussuaq Basin, East Greenland is presented.

TL;DR: Stemmerik et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the resources of the sedimentary basins of North and East Greenland with financial support from the Danish Research Councils and reported the following results: 1) Reinterpretation of the Upper Permian Schuchert Dal Formation as a lowstand turbidite unit within the Ravnefjeld Formation; 2) Recognition of Middle Jurassic deposits and thick lowermost Cretaceous sandstones on Hold with Hope; 3) Interpretation of a full spectrum of scarp-derived coarse-clastic mass movement deposits inter

TL;DR: The Kangerlussuaq Basin is situated in southern East Greenland (68°30′N) and the exposed 1 km thick sedimentary succession records a mid-Cretaceous to Tertiary basin history of Late Aptian-Albian transgression, Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene highstand and mid-Paleocene uplift and erosion as mentioned in this paper.
