Svalbard Rock Vault - liberating vintage geoscience data from Svalbard

<p>The Svalbard Rock Vault project (www.svalbox.no/srv) has the main objective to recover vintage geoscientific data from Svalbard&#39;s geoscientific exploration, in particular the overlooked petroleum exploration onshore Svalbard. Eighteen boreholes were drilled from 1961 to 1994 but data are only available as fragments.&nbsp;These data are systematically&nbsp;collected, digitized and made available for research purposes by the Svalbox team at the University Centre in Svalbard.&nbsp;</p> <p>This initial data set publication includes three overview spreadsheets:</p> <p>1) An overview of the archive material of Norsk Polar Navigasjon (NPN), a private company that was involved in many of the exploration boreholes. The physical archive is available at UNIS and scans are available upon request.&nbsp;</p> <p>2) An overview of the archive material related to the Troms&oslash;breen II exploration borehole, drilled in 1988. The physical archive is in Lund, Sweden, and most of it has been digitized by UNIS and scans are available upon request.&nbsp;</p> <p>3) An overview of the data available from the eighteen exploration boreholes, including wireline log data, reports and analyses. The data are also integrated in a Petrel project available at UNIS.&nbsp;</p> <p>More data will be added as they are (re-)discovered.&nbsp;</p>
