Studies of Sediment Systems of the European Arctic during the 75th Cruise of the Research Vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh
First results of systemic oceanological studies of the European part of the Arctic during the 75th cruise of the RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh are reported. The expedition covered the waters of the Norwegian, Greenland and Barents Seas. The main goal was a conjugate study of dispersed sedimentary matter (atmospheric aerosols, water suspended particulate matter) and bottom sediments with an emphasis on the processes of sedimentogenesis and early diagenesis in combination with paleooceanological reconstructions. The earlier studies [1] of the role of endogenous material in modern sedimentary processes in the ocean using the e-xample of a subpolar section (Mona Ridge) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are continued.
