Goal and objectives of the project

- Determining and refining the tectonic-structure characteristics in the study area.
- Determining the distributive characteristics of volcanic basalt and the other correlation seismic activities.
Main results

- Theoretical results:

  • Map of characteristics of tectonic and structure, scale 1:500.000.
  • Map of distribution of volcanic basalt, scale 1:500.000.
  • Map of distribution of mineral potential, scale 1:500.000.
  • The synthetic sections of geology-geophysics, scale 1:250.000.
  • Papers on national and international specialist journals
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results

The Project has been exploited and used the newest dataset on geology, seismic, gravity, magnetic from the marine surveys available in the area. The results of the study will have a practical contribution to the research of marine minerals, prevention, disaster mitigation.
