We present a seismic and density model for the crust and the uppermost mantle of the Arctic Ocean off-shore Chukotka down to a 40 km depth along a 740-km long latitudinal (at ca. 77°N) “Arctic-2012” wide-angle/MCS profile. Joint seismic and gravity modeling indicates significant differences in the c...
