The Harsval project includes also strengthening the mobility of scientists between Polish and Norwegian entities. The outcome will be the integration of the Polish and Norwegian scientific communities, increased cohesion through increased competence and skills, and the creation of new international scientific initiatives based on Polish-Norwegian consortia to solve complex research challenges.
More information about the mobility programme you can found in WP2.

We received a report about the internship at the The University Centre in Svalbard from Assoc. Prof. Krzysztof Michalski (Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences).

“The main objectives of the scientific visit at The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) in Longyearbyen on December 2-8, 2024 were as follows:

  • Preparation of a strategy for joint activities in the field of analysis of thermal changes of the rocks, paleogeography and climate evolution of Svalbard in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. These issues are the subject of the HarSval project (Activity 1.2., Task 1.2.2.) and the grant application “Deep-time Arctic climate archives: High-resolution coring of Svalbard’s sedimentary record” (SVALCLIME: https://svalbox.no/projects/svalclime /); PI: prof. Kim Senger (UNIS), project partner: Laboratory of Paleomagnetism IG PAS (coordination of paleomagnetic and rock-magnetic investigations: dr. hab. Krzysztof Michalski).
  • Consultations on the use of digital outcrop models, prepared using drones, in the interpretation of paleomagnetic data generated in the Laboratory of Paleomagnetism IG PAS. Cooperation within the SVALBOX initiative (https://svalbox.no/), coordination: prof. Kim Senger (UNIS).”
