Recent political and technological developments, including the end of the Cold War and the prospective availability of nuclear submarines and powerful icebreakers for use as research platforms, appear to provide remedies for formidable obstacles of communication and access in harsh environmental conditions. This book recommends that the Arctic Ocean basin and its margins be the focus of a research program in three stages of study based on selected criteria: geologic framework and tectonic evolution, the sedimentary record and environmental history, and arctic geologic processes and environmental indicators.GeologyArctic regionsArctic regionsResearchGeology559.8/072Grantz Arthur1927-20211276837National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Arctic Solid-Earth Geosciences.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960960003321Opportunities and priorities in arctic geoscience4356882UNINA
