Tectono-thermal evolution of Svalbard – summary of the international SvalGeoBase II workshop and definition of priorities for geological research in the Arctic
In March 2025, a report on the geological workshop "SvalGeoBase II: Tectono-thermal evolution of Svalbard – from metamorphic and magmatic processes to geothermal energy" was published in the Publications of the Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Sciences. The workshop took place in Svalbard from September 3 to 9, 2024.
Within a distinguished group of experts representing a broad spectrum of Earth sciences, a list of scientific priorities and guidelines for future geological research in the European sector of the Arctic (Svalbard, East Greenland) was developed.
SvalGeoBase II received the recommendation of the Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Climate and Environment, Chief National Geologist, Professor Krzysztof Galos, who personally participated in the workshop.
