pdf Taimyr-Alaskan arctic region - formation of sedimentary cover from the point of view of structural relations in the shelf-ocean system
Domestic and foreign seismic profiles, data of potential fields and geologic data, including deep drilling on the Chukchi shelf of the United States were used to draw up geological map of the East Arctic shelf of Russia by researchers of VNIIOkeangeologia Institute over the past 15 years. The two types of structures were distinguished in the eastern Arctic offshore: sublatitudinal and submeridional, which differs in the time of appearance. Sublatitudinal structures are located in the north-eastern part of the shelf. Sedimentary cover of sublatitudinal deflections is represented by Ellesmerian and Brookian seismic complexes, while in submeridional structures only Brookian seismic complex is developed. In the place where both classes of structures are present, submeridional structures are superimposed on sublatitudinal ones and are traced beyond the shelf towards the ocean area in the north and to the edge of the continental land in the south. Thus, through structural zones are outlined in the shelf-ocean system in the Eastern Arctic, which affects the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential of the Eastern Arctic.

Keywords: geological mapping, sedimentary cover, through structural zones, East Arctic shelf, Arctic Ocean.
