Traditionally active rifts are thought to evolve in response to thermal upwelling of the
asthenosphere, whereas passive rifts develop in response to lithospheric extension driven …

The tectonic evolution of the circum-Arctic, including the northern Pacific, Siberian and North
American margins, since the Jurassic has been punctuated by the opening and closing of …

Abstract The Eastern Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian seas and the western Chukchi
Sea occupy a large part of the Eurasian Arctic epicontinental shelf in the Russian Arctic …

This book provides a general survey of Geocryology, which is the study of frozen ground
called permafrost. Frozen ground is the product of cold climates as well as a variety of …

Dynamics of the submarine permafrost regime, including distribution, thickness, and
temporal evolution, was modeled for the Laptev and East Siberian Sea shelf zones. This …

Two areas with cold methane seeps on the outer shelf of the Laptev Sea were studied by
two interdisciplinary expeditions onboard the RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in August …

High Arctic new seismic data, collected by Russian Federation from 2011 to 2014, and
additional geological and geophysical information, are used to interpret the basement and …

Models of sub‐sea permafrost evolution vary significantly in employed physical assumptions
regarding the paleo‐geographic scenario, geological structure, thermal properties, initial …

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 …

This study investigated the zones associated with the potential distribution and absence of
frozen ground and gas hydrates on the East Siberian Arctic Shelf in the Laptev and East …
