2. 1. Tectonic evolution of NW Svalbard

   Author : Carl Pettersson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : Svalbard; Migmatization; Zircon; Provenance;

   Abstract : The Neoproterozoic is a remarkable era in Earth’s history with dramatic variations in climate and biota, possibly resulting in global glaciations events (eg. “snowball earth”, Kirschvink, 1992) and the first appearance of metazoans (Conway Morris, 1993). READ MORE

6. 4. Cold-climate landforms on Mars and Earth-analogues in Svalbard

   Author : Andreas Johnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mars; Svalbard; Spitsbergen; periglacial; ice; permafrost; Earth-analogues; terrestrial analogues; geomorphology; landforms; solifluction; debris flow; gully; craters; cold-climate;

   Abstract : Periglacial landforms on Earth reflect cold-climate conditions and are intimately related to processes due to the presence of ground ice and perennially frozen ground, permafrost. The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of Svalbard as an analogue to Mars cold-climate landforms, and explore past and present processes and surface conditions on Mars by inference from morphological counterparts in Svalbard.

   Author : Eva La Cour; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; geo-aesthetics; image politics; Svalbard; Arctic imaginaries; philosophy of ecology; the guide; live editing; essay film; experimental ethnography;

   Abstract : Propelled by the acute ecological crisis, Geo- Aesthetical Discontent: Svalbard, the Guide and Post-Future Essayism moves between artistic affinities and academic disciplines to craft an intervention into the imaginary of an Arctic place. Designed as an iterative set of artistic practice experiments with live editing, the aim is to demonstrate a geo-aesthetical discontent upon terrains with colonial history for visual production.
