Svalbox is a platform for tying published material together in one geospatially consistent database for easy access and direct intergration. Clearly we will never be able to digitize and integrate every geoscientific publication from Svalbard, but by systematically digitizing key literature we are continuously expanding the database.
On the other hand, we hope that the geoscience community will embrace the open data offered through Svalbox and use it to conduct their own research – the publications from which will also be ¨listed here.
Svalbox 4 Research
Peer-reviewed publications describing or using Svalbox
While there are a number of publications about Svalbox itself, we particularly welcome contributions from the scientific community that actively use Svalbox data in their research.
