Chronology of the Baikal Rift System [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2006 The deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal, Russia, lies on the intracontinental Baikal Rift system (BRS) along with the nearby Lake Khubsugul in northern Eurasia. Many questions connected with the history of the development of BRS remain open, in particular the time and causes of the formation of the recent BRS morphology.

Modeling of Strong Ground Motion Within the Baikal Rift Zone: The Irkutsk Case
Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The Baikal Rift Zone is seismically active and each well recorded strong earthquake (for example, as the Kultukskoe earthquake (South of Baikal), on August 27, 2008, with Mw = 6.3) is the reason to refine existing models for seismic hazard estimates ...

Diversity and Ecology of Diatoms in Pliocene Deposits of the Tunka Valley (Baikal Rift Zone)
Diversity, 2021 Fossil diatoms are an excellent tool for reconstructing the palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographic changes involving lacustrine systems. In this work, the diatom content of Pliocene sediments recovered from a core extracted in the Tunka Basin (Baikal ...

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 The article reviews three typical concepts concerning the age of the Baikal rift (BR) which development is still underway: 5 Ma (the BR development start in the Late Pliocene), 30 Ma (Miocene or Oligocene), and 60–70 Ma (the Late Cretaceous).

Three-dimensional laboratory modelling of rifting: application to the Baikal Rift, Russia [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 2002 Abstract Continental rifting is treated as a mechanical instability developing under horizontal tectonic tension. The instability results in strain localization and the formation of a neck, which is interpreted as a rift zone. At the scale of the whole lithospheric plate, this process occurs in plane-stress conditions and can therefore be modelled to

LATE CREATACEOUS-CENOZOIC SEDIMENTS OF THE BAIKAL RIFT BASIN AND CHANGING NATURAL CONDITIONS
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 The late Cretaceous-Cenozoic sediments of fossil soils and weathering crusts of the Baikal rift have been subject to long-term studies. Based on our research results, it is possible to distinguish the following litho-stratigraphic complexes which are ...

VELOCITIES OF SLOW MIGRATION OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN CIS-BAIKAL REGION
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 Three-dimensional space-time diagrams of «logarithm of total energy released by earthquakes» parameter, lgEsum are constructed for regions with stable concentrations of earthquake epicenters in Cis-Baikal region for a period from 1964 to 2002.

Baikal - the rift zone development [PDF]
Geografie, 1997 The article characterizes the formation and development of the Baikal Lake Basin, situated in the south of Eastern Siberia. Attention is also paid to processes of tectonic development of the Baikal region which have influenced the deepening of the Baikal Basin.
