Рифтовые системы шельфа Российской Восточной Арктики и арктического глубоководного бассейна: связь геологической истории и геодинамики

На основе российских сейсмических профилей, полученных в рамках проектов Арктика-2011, Арктика-2012 и Арктика-2014, составлена новая тектоническая схема Арктического океана. Приведены результаты интерпретации многих сейсмических профилей, представлена новая сейсмостратиграфия для Арктического 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 геологического строения бассейнов Евразийского, Подводников, Толля, Макарова и других. На основе синтеза всех данных получена следующая модель истории Арктического океана. 1. Канадский бассейн был образован до аптского 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 окончания Верхоянско-Чукотской орогении и рифтинг был на шельфе морей Лаптевых, Восточно-Сибирского, Северо-Чукотского и Южно-Чукотского и на поднятии Чукотского плато; одновременно континентальный рифтинг начался в бассейнах Подводников и Толля. 3. В позднем мелу рифтинг, возможно, продолжился в бассейнах Подводников и Толля. 4. В конце позднего мела и в палеоцене в ходе рифтинга был образован бассейн Макарова; локальный спрединг океанической коры при формировании бассейна Макарова не исключен. 5. Евразийский бассейн начал образовываться в начале эоцена. Наша модель геологической истории Арктического океана является предварительной и дискуссионной. В целом, мы показали связь континентальных рифтовых систем на шельфах с историей раскрытия Арктического океана.
