Glacial shelves, understood here as seabed areas underlain by glaciers during certain stages of the Quaternary period, include the bottoms of a number of intracontinental basins, such as the Baltic and White Sea.
Relatively shallow areas of the Barents, White and Baltic Seas due to the commonality of the main stages of their late geological development belong to a single glacial zone of the European glaciation center.
The most important elements of engineering-geological conditions of the shelf are relief, geological structure, hydrogeological conditions, geological processes and phenomena, physical and mechanical properties of rocks.
In 1976, complex engineering and geological studies were carried out to substantiate the project of the Yamal-Center gas pipeline through the Baidaratskaya Bay by the staff of NPO Sevmorgeo, VNIIMORGEO and LGI ....
