We present a new model of the crustal and tectonic structure of the Arctic region north of 60°
N latitude, constrained as a part of the international Atlas of Geological Maps of the …

This article reviews the characteristics of Arctic lithosphere and the principal tectonic events
which have shaped it. The current state-of-knowledge associated with the crust, crustal …

Amerasia Basin is the product of two phases of counterclockwise rotational opening about a
pole in the lower Mackenzie Valley of NW Canada. Phase 1 opening brought ocean …

The history of the 2.5 million km2 Amerasia Basin (sensu lato) is in many ways the least
known in the global tectonic system. Radically different hypotheses proposed to explain its …

Numerous short sediment cores have been retrieved from the central Arctic Ocean, many of
which have been assigned sedimentation rates on the order of mm/ka implying that the …

This paper is a summary of the geological and geophysical information available today on
the tectonics of the Arctic continental structures in the Late Precambrian–Paleozoic. We …

The tectonic evolution of the Arctic Region in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic is considered with
allowance for the Paleozoic stage of evolution of the ancient Arctida continent. A new …

The particularities of the current tectonic structure of the Russian part of the Arctic region are
discussed with the division into the Barents–Kara and Laptev–Chukchi continental margins …

This paper synthesizes the framework and geological evolution of the Arctic Alaska–
Chukotka microplate (AACM), from its origin as part of the continental platform fringing …

In year 2000, a ship-based expedition carried out a ca. 500-km-long geophysical profile
('Arctic-2000') across the Mendeleev Ridge at 82° N, from the Podvodnikov Basin to the …
