Svalbox-DOM_2021-0018_Midterhuken

<p><strong>Model description: </strong><br> Digital outcrop model of Midterhuken, at the far end of the headland where Van Keulenfjorden and Van Mijenfjorden meet. It exhibits a natural transect of the Palaeogene fold-and-thrust belt along Spitsbergen&rsquo;s west coast. The deformation involves two main geologic sequences. Basement rocks on Midterhuken&rsquo;s western tip (Hecla Hoek sequence) were metamorphosed and penetratively deformed during the Caledonian orongeny, and were uplifted and tilted during Tertiary deformation. To the east is a Lower Carboniferous to Cretaceous plaatform cover sequence (2 km thick) of unmetamorphosed carbonate and clastic rocks; it unconformably overlies the Hecla Hoek rocks, and forms a northeast-dipping homocline with locally complex structures (Maher et al., 1984). The G&aring;shamna Fm, Treskelodden Fm, Orustdalen Fm, Wordiekammen Fm, Gipshuken Fm, Kapp Starostin Fm, Vardebukta Fm, Tvillingodden Fm, Bravaisberget Fm and Kapp Toscana Gr are successively exposed eastward.<br> <br> <strong>Data availability:</strong><br> All uploaded archives are to be extracted to the same directory for a functional working environment, i.e., at the very least consisting of a project folder with the data and metashape subdirectories. The included processing report specifies the processing parameters that were used as input for the processing software (Agisoft Metashape, v1.7.2.12040).<br> Ground control point data use CRS epsg:4326. Exported model data use CRS epsg:32633.<br> <br> <strong>Show and visualise on <a href="http://svalbox.no/?page_id=3989">Svalbox.no</a>:</strong><br> Through Svalbox we aim to take geoscientific research and education to the next level &ndash; with the simple motto of placing all key information and data sets in their correct spatial position. We bring modern technology, in particular cost-effective digital outcrops, to complement more than 200 years of geoscientific research on Svalbard. Finally, Svalbox provides a sustainable platform for sharing results, workflows and teaching material with the wider geoscientific community.<br> <br> For more information, contact the Svalbox team at svalbox[at]gmail.com.</p>
