West Spitsbergen fold and thrust belt: A digital educational data package for teaching structural geology

The discipline of structural geology is taking an advantage compiling observations from multiple field sites to comprehend the bigger picture and constrain region's geological evolution. In this study we demonstrate how integration a range geospatial digital data sets that relate Paleogene fault thrust belt exposed in high Arctic Archipelago Svalbard, used teaching bachelor-level courses at University Centre Svalbard. This event led formation West Spitsbergen Fold Thrust Belt its associated foreland basin, Central Basin. Our educational package builds on published literature past four decades augmented with recently acquired high-resolution outcrop models, 360° imagery. All are available as georeferenced containers included single geodatabase, freely for educators geoscientists around world complement their research fieldwork course components
