Contributions to Regional Geology and Tectonics: A very long cross-section across the Arctic
Main content start
Seismic reflection data and interpretations, integrated with regional geological constraints, provide the basis for a new crustal transect (the Circum-Arctic Lithosphere Evolution (CALE) Transect C) linking the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific margin along two paths that span 5100 km from the Lomonosov Ridge (near the North Pole), across the Amerasia Basin, Chukchi Sea and Bering Sea, and ending at the subducting: Pacific plate margin in the Aleutian Islands. Shown are the transects on a geologic map of the Arctic.
