TRACES OF HIGH SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN THE UPPERMOST SEDIMENTS OF LAKE BAIKAL, SIBERIA
Sedimentation in Lake Baikal is significantly affected by continuous seismic activity in the Baikal Rift Zone. Our study shows that historical earthquakes, as well as recent seismic events, considerably influenced sedimentation in this deep tectonic ...

Diversity and Ecology of Diatoms in Pliocene Deposits of the Tunka Valley (Baikal Rift Zone)
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 ...

Modeling of Strong Ground Motion Within the Baikal Rift Zone: The Irkutsk Case
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 ...

Bituminous substances in soils of Baikal Rift zone
Abstract Parameters of hydrocarbon complex of the soils of lacustrine-alluvial plain and sandy uplands of the Baikal rift zone within the Barguzin Depression have been studied. Data were obtained on organic (non-carbonate) carbon, chloroform and hexane bitumoids, as well as on individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

EARTHQUAKE OF 27 AUGUST 2008 IN THE SOUTHERN BAIKAL AREA AND ITS PRECURSORS
On 27 August 2008, a strong earthquake occurred in the Southern Baikal area. Its focus was located within the Baikal rift zone which characterized with high seismicity. The general location and approximate strength of the earthquake were thus expectable,

Baikal - the rift zone development [PDF]
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.

Integration of the GPR and radio-impedance techniques in studies of the Baikal rift zone
Radiowave propagation techniqueshave been very rarely applied to investigate tectonic fault zones and geoelectric profilesof the Baikal rift zone. In our study, we used a combination ofground-penetrating radar (GPR) and radioimpedance techniquesin order ...

Mantle Structure and Processes in Transition Zone of the Baikal Rift Zone
Abstract The velocity structure of the mantle under the Baikal Rift Zone (BRZ) is investigated with the P‑wave receiver functions (PRFs) for a group of 10 seismograph stations. The BRZ presents one of the world’s most active continental rift zones.
