摘要

The Eastern Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) represents a geologically complex realm with a tectonic history that is related to the final stages of the formation of the Pangaea supercontinent during the Mesozoic and its subsequent disintegration during the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic. It is a key region to constrain the origin of the deep water basins and intervening ridges of the Amerasia Basin. We present results of gravity modeling of published seismic refraction and reflection profiles acquired between 1989 and 2012 over the ESAS and adjacent Arctic Ocean along five composite geotransects using Getech's satellite altimeter-derived gravity data. Our main goal was to examine published crustal models and to present new models for the ESAS that are constrained by both seismic data and 2D gravity forward modeling. We consider several topics important for understanding Arctic geology: (i) hyperextension within the Laptev Rift System and the possible extent of the exhumed mantle, (ii) the relationship between the New Siberian Shelf and the Lomonosov Ridge, (iii) the nature of the collapsed upper Mesozoic fold belt in the southern part of the East Siberian Sea, (iv) the character of transition between the De Long Massif and the deep-water Podvodnikov Basin, (v) the lateral extent of the hyperextended North Chukchi Basin and the nature of its basement, and (vi) relationship between the Mendeleev Ridge and Chukchi Plateau crustal domains. Our results do not confirm the previously inferred extent of continental crust beneath the oceanic realm. The latter is dominated by High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALM) igneous crust. We discuss the existence of a dismembered continental Bennett-Barrovia block that is currently represented by three smaller fragments/massifs. When restored to its possible single state, this block can play a crucial role in reconstructing the pre-Canada Basin Arctic.
