Нефтегазопоисковая геоморфология на географическом факультете Московского государственного университета

Аннотация

The paper summarizes principal achievements of the Department of Geomorphology and Paleogeography in the field of searches for oil and gas. Special techniques were developed for geomorphological studies of land coastal areas and shelf, aimed for oil prospecting. Geomorphological criteria were found which permit to identify tectonic structural landforms holding interest for oil and gas searches. Direct correlation between geomorphic and geological-geophysical characteristics allowed tracing deep structure of oil-bearing areas. An attached reference list contains main publications of the Department members on the above topics.
