Neotectonic structures as reflected in topography of north West Siberia plain

Abstract

Some results are presented of the work on the Gydan and Taz peninsulas aimed to identification of local uplifts within the Quaternary marine sediments. The uplifts are proved to be directly connected with positive present-day landforms and mostly inherited from Mesozoic local structures, the latter containing deposits of gas and condensate. The data presented had been obtained during the geological survey of the area using both space images and aerial photoes of various scales.
