К 70-летию Мурманского морского биологического института UDC 504.002 Matishov G.G., Dzhenyuk S.L., Ishkulov D.G. Expedition investigations of the West Arctic Seas and Arctic archipelagos // Oceanological and biological investigations of the Russia Arctic and Southern Seas (to the 70thanniversary of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute). - Apatity: Publ. KSC RAS, 2006. - P. 45-70. Review of the MMBI expedition investigations for the period 1991-2005 on the following directions: oceanological and hydrobiological surveys of the West Arctic Seas; complex investigations of the Arctic shelf ecosystems during the voyages on board the atomic ice-breakers along the North-Sea Route; expedition monitoring of coastal zones enduring increased anthropogenic loadings (Kola and Motovsky Bays of the Barents Sea); investigations of the Arctic archipelagos and coastal areas is carried out. The complete collection of data on the expedition voyages (areas and periods of work, tasks of the voyages, and composition of observations) is presented, the major results of the expedi tion programs are characterized. 111. - 2, tables - 3, references - 10.

KSC RAS, 2006. - P. 71-88. Peculiarities are shown and regularities of silt water formation on the West-Arctic shelf in conditions of modem glacial sedimentogenesis and during the epoch of the last glaciation in Pleistocene-Holocene impacted by the marine and oceanic periglacial are revealed. Lowered humidity of the glacial bottom sediments distributed on the Barents Sea submarine elevations is established. Specific features of the silt water salt composi tion formation and diagenetic changes in time testifying to the history of climate and bottom landscapes development of the West Arctic Seas during postglacial period of time are discussed.
