"Digitizing Outcrops: Unveiling Arctic Landscape Changes Amid Climate Acceleration"

The Svalbox Digital Model Database (DMDb) has been introduced as a valuable resource for geoscientists working in the remote Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic. The database contains 135 digital outcrop models (DOMs) that provide georeferenced three-dimensional representations of geologic outcrops, allowing researchers to virtually explore and study the region's unique geological features. The Svalbox DMDb follows FAIR principles, making the data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. It offers a valuable teaching aid and extends the field season by providing access to sites that are not easily reachable through traditional fieldwork.
