We present the geophysical data set acquired in summer 2022 close to Ny-Ålesund (Western Svalbard, Brøggerhalvøya peninsula, Norway) as part of the project ICEtoFLUX (MUR/PRA2021 project-0027). The data set is composed of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and GroundPenetrating Radar (GPR) surveys, which are well-known geophysical techniques for the characterization of glacial and hydrological processes and features. 18 ERT profiles and 10 GPR lines were acquired, for a total surveyed length of 9.3 km. The data have been organized in a consistent repository that includes both raw and processed (filtered) data. Some representative examples of 2D models of the subsurface are provided, that is, 2D sections of electrical resistivity (from ERT) and 2D radargrams (from GPR). These examples can support the identification of the active layer and the occurrence of spatial variation of soil conditions at depth. The aim of the investigation is to characterize the role of groundwater flow in correspondence of the ...
