| Summary: | Model description: Digital outcrop model of the Landnørdingsvika cliff in Southwestern Bjørnøya. The profile shows a spectacularly exposed outcrop of the Mid-Late Carboniferous time, it is tilted down towards the west due to a large controlling normal fault, mapped on seismic offshore Bjørnøya. The base of the succession shows alluvial red-bed sediments (shales and conglomerates) with interbedded white shallow marine sandstones (Landnørdingsvika Fm) transitioning upwards into marine sandstones and later dominating marine carbonates (Kapp Kåre Fm). The succession shows the interplay between mid-late Carboniferous sea-level fluctuations (mainly controlled by ice-sheets on the southern hemisphere) and local/regional extensional tectonics and is a good outcrop analogue to the Carboniferous-Early Permian deposits offshore in the basins of the Barents Sea, which have historically targeted for hydrocarbon exploration. Data availability: 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). Exported model data use CRS epsg:32633. Show and visualise on Svalbox.no: Through Svalbox we aim to take geoscientific research and education to the next level – 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.
