History of formation of the sedimentary cover of Arctic basin. Multychannel seismic approach

The paper is based on interpretation of the composite seismic line, crossing most of Arctic structures: Amundsen Basin, Lomonosov Ridge, Podvodnikov Basin, Mendeleev Rise, Chukchi Borderland. The seismic, borehole and geological data is linked in the frame of author’s seismic model. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction made along the composite seismic line substantiated the evolution of the sedimentary basins during last 100 MA. The heterogeneous composition of the basement of most Arctic structures is considered from comprehensive seismic and geological data analysis.
Keywords: Arctic basin, Arctic Ocean, sedimentary cover, basement, evolution, seismic data.
