Abstract

The seas of the Arctic (Barents Sea, White Sea, Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, East-Siberian Sea, Chukchi Sea) wash over Russian territory from the North. Almost 70 % of Russian territory falls within the Arctic Ocean basin. Despite the necessity of monitoring instances of natural and technogenic changes in the Arctic, many segments of the Arctic coast are still “blank spots” for researchers. The main reason for the poor knowledge in regard to this region is its inaccessibility. Its lagoons and estuaries are among the most difficult for the study of natural geosystems, each of them distinguished by both natural features and their response to changes in external conditions.
