Lithological characteristics of modern sediments in the southwestern part of the Kara Sea shelf
In August – September 2020, during cruise 49 of the R/V Akademik Nikolay Strakhov, comprehensive geological, geophysical, hydroacoustic, geomorphological and hydrophysical research studies of the western segment of the Arctic zone within the Pechora and Kara Seas began in 2018–2019 were continued.
