The origins and formation mechanisms of neotectonic structures in a part of the Mongolian-Siberian region were identified by geodynamic zoning based on multidimensional statistical analysis of numerical arrays describing geological-geophysical and geological-geomorphological processes. These processes in the regional lithosphere were described by a...
On 28 June 2014, Arshan village and its heath resort facilities suffered from a shock descent of mudflows from Tunka Goltsy in the Republic of Buryatia, Russia. In this region, the last mudflow descent was recorded in 1971. The article provides an overview of the local natural environment of the site where the mudflows descended and the Kyngarga ri...
Reviewed are aspects of modern geodynamics and methods of mapping of geodynamic processes which have been developed since 1960s in the Institute of the Earth's Crust, Siberian Branch of RAS (specifically since 1980s by the Laboratory of Tectonophysics and now jointly with the Laboratory of Recent Geodynamics). Achievements and prospects of the stud...
В учебном пособии излагаются современные представления о современной гео-динамике. Изложение материала построено таким образом, чтобы учащиеся высшей школы получили объёмное представление о происхождении Вселенной, о том, какое место занимает в ней Солнечная система и планета Земля, в частности. С современных геодинамических позиций подробно рассма...
The article provides review of presentations of the All-Russia Conference with participation of invited foreign scientists «Contemporary Geodynamics of Central Asia and Hazardous Natural Processes: Quantitative Research Results» and the All-Russia Young Scientists Workshop on issues of contemporary geodynamics, which were held on 23–29 September 20...
A new map of the recent geodynamics of Asia is presented along with the principles and methods of its compilation and a characterization of the used factual material. For the first time, a map is based on the three parameters that determine recent geodynamics: the thickness of the lithosphere, the stress state, and the vectors of recent movements i...

The data of primary observations for the period 1994-2002 are processed using the program package GAMIT. The data on a series of global stations are included in the calculations for connection with coordinate system ITRF2000. The stations' positions and their formal errors are determined using the program GLOBK. As a result, full displacement vecto...
The present-day faulting is one of the main aspects of the present-day geodynamics. It can be studied only using the information on deformation of dated Holocene sedimentary complexes, seismogenic structures of the same age, seismicity, hydrothermalism (manifestation of the present-day hydrothermal processes), and volcanism. Spatial-temporal regula...
In the framework of the Russian-French project, a series of geodesic stations for studying present-day crust deformations by the GPS method was organized on the Baikal geodynamic test ground. Processing of data of 3-year-long observations permitted obtaining a field of vectors of the rates of present-day horizontal movements in the southern and cen...
BCREDP, l.'etude detaillee des structures cenozoiques dans la zone de rift du Bafkal montre la presence conjointe de structures extensives (failles normales) et compressives (failles decrochanrcs, chevauchantes et plissements), L'analyse microstructurale des structures cassantes et I'inversion des donnees de faille avec stries pour en deduire les t...
This paper considers the thermal water of a group of springs in the Songve River valley, located 7-10 km downstream from the Panda Hill carbonatite massif, and calcareous tuffs formed from this water. The authors relate these hydrotherms to the latest, Quaternary, alkaline magmatism which covered the entire East-African rift system, including the R...
The Baikal depression occupies a central position in the system of the basins of the Baikal Rift Zone and corresponds to the nucleus from which the continental lithosphere began to open. For different reasons, the internal structure of the Lake Baikal basin remained unknown for a long time. In this article, we present for the first time a synthesis...
Detailed investigation of Cenozoic structures in the Baikal rift zone (BRZ) revealed the existence of both extensional structures (normal faults) and compressional structures (strike-slip faults, thrusts and folding). Microstructural analysis of brittle structures and stress inversion of fault-slip data permitted the reconstruction of the Cenozoic...

Structural-geological and seismoacoustlc studies carried out in 1989-94 within the Baikal Rill Zone, for the first time show the internal active tectonic structure of the present Baikal Rill lake basin. A series of smaller structure features are distinguished not only by morphology but also by degree of recent activity. Based on the recent structur...
The long-term project CASIMIR was started in 1990 by joint efforts of geological institutes of SB RAS and Belgium and was devoted to the comparative study of sedimentary infill and mechanisms of rift basin formation, with Lake Baikal and East African lakes as examples. The number of participants in the project increased due to the involvement of sc...
Whether the tectonosphere is active or passive depends on the thermal regime of the Earth's interior and the depth of the lithosphere-astenosphere boundary. Lithospheric thickness increases as it cools and decreases as it warms up. The thermal stability of the lithosphere is regulated by its age and the density of terrestrial heat flow. As the inte...
