Holocene Paleoenvironment Developments of Southern Part of Chukchi Sea

Source, Origin, and Spatial Distribution of Shallow Sediment Methane in the Chukchi Sea

“…Study of sediment cores and seismic stratigraphy provide deposition patterns and sedimentation rates for the Chukchi Sea (Gusev et al, 2009(Gusev et al, , 2014. For the western part of this sea, Gusev et al (2009) report relatively high early Holocene sedimentation rates of several meters per thousand years, which are common for the early stages of flooding on the Arctic shelf (e.g., Stein et al, 2004).…”
