В коллективной монографии на основе анализа и обобщения всей совокупности имеющейся геолого-геофизической информации, накопленной за прошедшие пятьдесят лет, даются современные представления о глубинном строении земной коры Ладожской протерозойской структуры. Сопоставление глубины залегания поверхности Мохоровичича, регионального гравитационного и магнитного полей позволило сделать заключение, что основные тектонические структуры региона – Карельский кратон и Свекофеннский ороген – различаются по типу их корреляционной связи.

Сейсмические воздействия (амплитуды, длительность, спектральный состав и другие параметры акселерограмм и их спектров) характеризуют колебательное движение грунта при землетрясениях и поэтому являются основой при количественном сейсмическом районировании различной степени детальности. Очевидно, что в первую очередь для их оценки для каждого региона важно знать спектральный состав колебаний тех или иных грунтов при сильных землетрясениях. Однако относительная редкость возникновения последних и отсутствие на сегодняшний день местной инженерно-сейсмологической сети станций, необходимой для мониторинга различных кинематических элементов движений почвы при относительно сильных землетрясениях на различных по составу и состоянию грунтах, служащих основаниями сооружений, значительно усложняют эту задачу <...>

Previous investigations of the northern Pilbara Craton are briefly summarized, followed by an outline of the region’s lithostratigraphy and major tectonic units. Previous interpretations of its tectonic evolution have not taken account evidence that the presently preserved 500,000 km2 Pilbara Craton is composed of fragments of much larger Paleoarchean and Mesoarchean continents. This consideration provides important new insights on the original scales of the processes and tectonic units that existed before two major events of continental breakup.

The map area, covering 2,250 km", lies in the central part of Spitsbergen, south of Isfjorden. Geological investigations were started by Swedish expeditions in the last half of the 19th century, and the work was continued in the present century mainly by Norwegian expeditions. The region is mountainous, moderately glaciated, but shows a juvenile glacial morphology. The climate is polar. The rock sequence exposed in the area is c. 3,400 m thick and consists of two Permian, six Mesozoic, and six Tertiary formations. The Permian deposits are mainly eherts , cherty limestones, limestones, and sandstones deposited under marine conditions. The Mesozoic-Tertiary sequence is composed generally of shales, siltstones, and sandstones deposited mainly in marine environments, and to a lesser extent under terrestrial conditions. Surficial deposits of Quaternary age are largely of glacial, colluvial, alluvial, and marine origin <...>

The Arctic is a geologically unique region where the North American, Eurasian and Pacific lithospheric plates come together, and a new Arctic Ocean is born on the continuation of the North Atlantic. The northern geographical and magnetic poles are located in the Arctic. Large ore deposits have been discovered in the Arctic regions, and the shelves contain large hydrocarbon resources.
