Introduction
The Svalex course covers a broad range of geophysics and geology topics. It's arranged on Svalbard, with lectures on the UNIS
campus in Longyearbyen and field trips using vessels "Nordstjernen" and "G.O.
Sars". E-learning is also used - see learning modules at EAGE
"learningGEOSCIENCE" journal web site.
More information on Svalex on the project web page www.svalex.net. Participating departments on Norwegian
universities are

Dampskipskaia (=Hurtigrutekaia)
3rd mooring point from north.
Land gravitymeter put on top of mooring point, which is 41 cm above quay.
Made in the mistaken belief that this location was a gravity station.
