The plume has been identified as a result of the analysis of the MITP08 volumetric model of <i>P</i>-wave velocity variations, representing the deviations of <i>P</i>-wave velocities from the average values (δ<i>V</i><sub>p</sub>), given as a percentage. The lithospheric mantle is thinned to ca. 50 km above the plume. Especially low velocities (δ<i>V</i><sub>p</sub> ≤ –0.6%) are found in the sublithospheric mantle up to a depth of 400 km. The main body of the plume is located under the Khangai Highland and extends northward to the edge of Southern Siberia. The Khentei branch of the plume that is located SE of the Khentei Highland is connected with the main plume body at depths of 800–1000 km. Branches of the plume and its Khentei branch extend into Transbaikalia. The area of the plume decreases with depth, and its deepest part (1250–1300 km) is located under the southern Khangai Highland. The main body of the Khangai plume is expressed on the land surface by the Cenozoic uplift reaching 3500–4000 m in the southern Khangai Highland. From the SE, the Khangai plume and its Khentei branch territory are limited by Late Cenozoic troughs stretching along the southeastern border of Mongolia. From other sides, the Khangai uplift is bounded by a C-shaped belt of basins. The belt includes the southwestern part of the Baikal Rift Zone, the Tunka and Tuva Basins in the north, the Ubsu-Nur Basin and the Basin of Big Lakes in the west, and the Valley of Lakes in the south. The basins are filled with lacustrine and fluvial deposits of the Late Oligocene to Pliocene. In the Quaternary, the South and Central Baikal Basins, which existed as early as the Early Paleogene, became a part of the Baikal Rift, and the other basins were involved in the general uplift of the region. The structural paragenesis of the Khangai uplift and the surrounding basins is caused by the influence of the Khangai plume. On the territory above the plume, including its Khentei and Transbaikalia branches, the Cenozoic basaltic plume volcanism occurred, inheriting the Cretaceous volcanic manifestations in some places. The structural paragenesis associated with the Khangai plume is combined with the structural paragenesis produced by lithospheric plate interaction. The latter is expressed the best of all by active faults, but developed synchronously to the plume paragenesis. The active fault kinematics shows that the eastern and central parts of the region developed in the transpression conditions and the north-eastern part developed in conditions of extension and transtension. The Khangai plume is connected at depth with the Tibetan plume, which is situated under the central and eastern Tibetan Plateau north of the Lhasa block.

The forecast of the distribution of the relic submarine permafrost and related methane hydrate stability zone is given on the basis of solving the equation of thermal conductivity. According to modeling data, an extensive thermobaric relic submarine permafrost zone is predicted within the Kara Sea shelf. The greatest thickness (up to 600 m) of the permafrost is confined to the Taimyr shelf. Based on the results of the analysis of our model, drilling and seismic data, the southwestern shelf of the Kara Sea has insular or sporadic permafrost. In the northeastern part, the nature of the permafrost is also discontinuous, despite the greater thickness of the frozen strata. For the first time, accumulations of cryogenic gas hydrates on the Taimyr shelf have been characterized. The latest drilling data, seismic data reinterpretation, and numerical modeling have shown that the gas hydrate reservoir is confined to unconformably occurring Silurian–Devonian and underlying Triassic–Jurassic strata. The thickness of the gas hydrate reservoir varies from 800 to 1100 m. Based on the interpretation of CDP data and their comparison with model calculations, frozen deposits, and sub-permafrost traps of stratigraphic, anticline and anticline-stratigraphic types were identified for the first time. These pioneering studies allowed us to characterize the thickness and morphology of the gas hydrate reservoir, give a preliminary seismostratigraphic reference, and identify potentially gas hydrate-bearing structures. Due to the favorable thermobaric and permafrost-geothermal conditions, most of the identified traps may turn out to be sub-permafrost accumulations of gas hydrates. In total, at least five potential accumulations of gas hydrates were discovered, confined to structural depressions; the Uedineniya Trough and its side included the Egiazarov Step and North Mikhailovskaya Depression.</p>","PeriodicalId":55097,"journal":{"name":"Geotectonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140097766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global geothermal measurements (in particular, at the Eurasian continental margin of the Arctic Ocean) are sporadic. The lack of geotemperature data does not allow mapping of thermal fields using standard interpolation methods. This article presents a solution to this problem and the results of geothermal mapping of the Eurasian continental margin of the Arctic Ocean by extrapolation on a structural-tectonic basis following the age of tectonomagmatic activation of geological structures. The TEMAR-10 000 tectonic map of the Arctic was chosen as a structural-tectonic basis for zoning by age of tectonomagmatic activation. The geothermal studies were based on verified data from the Global Heat Flow Database, as well as published materials and the authors’ original data. A geothermal database consisting of ~1000 geotemperature estimates has been compiled. Verification and statistical analysis of geothermal data in the Eurasian margin of the Arctic Ocean was performed. It has been established that the median values of heat flow are the most applicable for geothermal zoning on a structural-tectonic basis. The geothermal zoning of the Laptev Sea has been clarified based on seismic survey data on the position of the hydrate-related reflector, marking the phase boundary of the gas hydrate stability zone. For the first time, regional-scale geothermal mapping has been carried out at the Eurasian continental margin using actual measured and calculated geothermal data. The compiled geothermal map is the basis for calculating and mapping the gas hydrate stability zone.</p>","PeriodicalId":55097,"journal":{"name":"Geotectonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140097276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
