Abstract:In our study, we have developed a new tectonic scheme of the Arctic Ocean, which is based mainly on seismic profiles obtained in the Arctic-2011, Arctic-2012 and Arctic-2014 Projects implemented in Russia. Having interpreted many seismic profiles, we propose a new seismic stratigraphy of the Arctic Ocean. Our main conclusions are drawn from the interpretation of the seismic profiles and the analysis of the regional geological data. The results of our study show that rift systems within the Laptev, the East Siberian and the Chukchi Seas were formed not earlier than Aptian. The geological structure of the Eurasian, Podvodnikov, Toll and Makarov Basins is described in this paper. Having synthesized all the available data on the study area, we propose the following model of the geological history of the Arctic Ocean: 1. The Canada Basin formed till the Aptian (probably, during Hauterivian-Barremian time). 2. During the Aptian-Albian, large-scale tectonic and magmatic events took place, including plume magmatism in the area of the De Long Islands, Mendeleev Ridge and other regions. Continental rifting started after the completion of the Verkhoyansk-Chukotka orogenу, and rifting occurred on the shelf of the Laptev, East Siberian, North Chukchi and South Chukchi basins, and the Chukchi Plateau; simultaneously, continental rifting started in the Podvodnikov and Toll basins. 3. Perhaps the Late Cretaceous rifting continued in the Podvodnikov and Toll basins. 4. At the end of the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene, the Makarov basin was formed by rifting, although local spreading of oceanic crust during its formation cannot be excluded. 5. The Eurasian Basin started to open in the Early Eocene. We, of course, accept that our model of the geological history of the Arctic Ocean, being preliminary and debatable, may need further refining. In this paper, we have shown a link between the continental rift systems on the shelf and the formation history of the Arctic Ocean. Аннотация: На основе российских сейсмических профилей, полученных в рамках проектов Арктика-2011, Арктика-2012 и Арктика-2014, составлена новая тектоническая схема Арктического океана. Приведены ре-зультаты интерпретации многих сейсмических профилей, представлена новая сейсмостратиграфия для Арк-тического океана. Основные выводы сделаны на основе интерпретации сейсмических профилей и на базе анализа региональных геологических данных. Показано, что рифтовые системы в пределах морей Лаптевых, Восточно-Сибирского и Чукотского были образованы не раньше аптского времени. Дано описание геологиче-ского строения бассейнов Евразийского, Подводников, Толля, Макарова и других. На основе синтеза всех дан-ных получена следующая модель истории Арктического океана. 1. Канадский бассейн был образован до апт-ского времени (вероятно, в готериве-барреме). 2. В апте-альбе были крупномасштабные тектонические и магматические события: плюмовый магматизм был в районе поднятия Де-Лонга, на хребте Менделеева и в других областях. Континентальный рифтинг произошел сразу после оконча...

“…Для объяснения формирования структуры региона предложены две альтернативные модели: модель Арктического плюма, в которой предполагалась его активность со средней юры до раннего (начала позднего?) ме-ла [Khain et al, 2009;Filatova, Khain, 2009], и модель верхнемантийной ячейки, вызванной субдукцией Тихоокеанской литосферы и активной на протяже-нии позднего мезозоя и кайнозоя [Laverov et al, 2013].…”

A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions. The modern shape of the planet's triaxial asymmetrical cardioid ellipsoid results from its latest (Late Phanerozoic) geodynamic evolution that began in Arctic and then commenced in Asia. At this stage, mechanisms of the lithosphere extension and compression, combined with extension, were launched in Arctic and Asia, respectively. The special issue of Geodynamics & Tectonophysics presents papers on this topic. Аннотация: В развитии теории Земли ключевую роль играют сравнительные исследования орогенов, риф-тов и платформ в экваториальных, умеренных и высоких широтах Азии и сопредельной Арктики. Современ-ная форма трехосного асимметричного кардиоидального эллипсоида на планете обусловлена ее новейшей (позднефанерозойской) геодинамической эволюцией, начавшейся в Арктике, а затем -в Азии. На новейшем геодинамическом этапе в Арктике был запущен механизм растяжения литосферы, в Азии -механизм сжатия, сочетающегося с растяжением. Cтатьи по этой тематике представлены в специальном выпуске журнала «Гео-динамика и тектонофизика».

“…However, seismic data, critical for testing this fracture zone hypothesis, are sparse, and the few existing lines show little or no evidence of a major strike‐slip zone. The only seismic line running from the shelf off the New Siberian Island onto the Lomonosov Ridge [ Laverov et al ., ] shows diffractions in the upper and lower crust, but a mainly undisturbed Cenozoic sediment cover. These seismic data indicate that the Mesozoic rifting and the final rupture of the LR from the Siberian Shelf caused faulting in the upper and lower LR crust, particularly during the initial phase of the rifting.…”

[1] We report on seismic and petrological data that provide new constraints on the geological evolution of the Amerasia Basin. A seismic reflection transect across the Makarov Basin, located between the Mendeleev and Lomonosov Ridges, shows a complete undisturbed sedimentary section of Mesozoic/Cenozoic age. In contrast to the Mendeleev Ridge, the margin of the Lomonosov Ridge is wide and shows horst and graben structures. We suggest that the Mendeleev Ridge is most likely volcanic in origin and support this finding with a 40 Ar/ 39 Ar isotopic age for a tholeiitic basalt sampled from the central Alpha/Mendeleev Ridge. Seismic reflection data for the Makarov Basin show no evidence of compressional features, consistent with the Lomonosov Ridge moving as a microplate in the Cenozoic. We propose that the Amerasia Basin moved as a single tectonic plate during the opening of the Eurasia Basin.
