About SvalBox

Svalbox is all about Svalbard geology. Svalbox aims to compile and acquire key data sets and publications to provide an interactive 3D geoscientific database of Svalbard.

Through Svalbox we aim to take geoscientific research and education to the next level - with the simple motto of placing all key information and data sets in their correct spatial positions. We bring modern technology, in particular cost-effective digital outcrops, to complement more than 200 years of geoscientific research across the archipelago. Finally, Svalbox provides a sustainable platform for sharing results, workflows and teaching material with the wider geoscientific community.
