SVALGEOBASE II: Tectono-thermal Evolution of Svalbard - from Metamorphic and Magmatic Processes to Geothermal Energy. Geological Workshop, Svalbard, 3-9 September 2024

Abstract

We are pleased to present the report from the second edition of the geological workshop SvalGeoBase II, titled “Tectono-thermal evolution of Svalbard – from metamorphic and magmatic processes to geothermal energy”. Held from September 3 to 9, 2024, in Svalbard, this event continued the legacy of the first edition, SvalGeoBase I, organized in 2013 under the theme “Proterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic basement of Svalbard – state of knowledge and new research perspectives”. Once again, this ambitious project aimed to host an Arctic scientific conference aboard an expedition vessel. Through multiple landings in the northern Spitsbergen region and Nordaustlandet, participants had the rare opportunity to engage in field discussions and closely examine rock outcrops that are at the forefront of ongoing scientific debates within the Arctic geology community.
