..., where the physical environment is changing rapidly and where the vast majority of the 15,588,000-square-kilometer Arctic Ocean remains unmapped using modern survey methods. Given current and anticipated increases in vessel traffic, resource exploration and development, and impacts of climate change...

... Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show early results of surficial geologic mapping of the Arctic Ocean. Analysis of subbottom profiler and multibeam bathymetric data in conjunction with the regional morphology rendered from the IBCAO data are used to map nine surficial geologic units...

... Abstract The compact Arctic Ocean region is the last major hydrocarbon frontier areain the Northern Hemisphere and may possibly be the single richest natural gashydrate (NGH) province on Earth. Because of the extreme weathering and erosionconditions associated with the alternating glacial...

... Abstract More than 15,000 line-km of new regional seismic reflection and refractiondata in the western Arctic Ocean provide insights into the tectonic andsedimentologic history of Canada Basin, permitting development of new geologicunderstanding in one of Earth's last frontiers. These new data...
