Svalbard Warm Arctic Paleoclimate Laboratory – Providing High Arctic Palaeoclimate time series through research collaboration

The Paleocene – Eocene (66-33.9 mio years BP) geological record of Svalbard is a globally unique deep time paleoclimate archive. This time interval was a period of high atmospheric CO2 levels and a warm greenhouse climate and the best existing analogue for projected near future warming. This reco...

3D modelling and interpretation of channels in the Aspelintoppen Formation, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, a facies analysis

This master thesis project aims to create further detailed information of Aspelintoppen Formation, the youngest formation in the Central Tertiary Basin on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, a foreland basin created during the West Spitsbergen Orogeny. The formation is little understood so far, as underlying ...

Coal - the ice core of the warm past: using the natural coal archive on Svalbard to initiate a flagship for palaeoclimate research

The Paleocene coals from the Firkanten Formation, Svalbard represent a globally important record of environmental change. Like ice cores and deep marine drillings, coal (ancient peat) represents a relatively undisturbed environment from which geochemical signatures of climate change can be extrac...

Sediment flux from source to sink - the coastal link

The aim of the present proposal is to coordinate and integrate research on coast to fjord sediment systems on Svalbard. We propose a pilot project for 2016-2017 to develop this cooperation and concentrate use of equipment and data sets on a joint goal. The research objective is to increase the un...
