Abstract
This paper outlines major results of marine geophysical surveys conducted in the framework of the IPY 20072008 Project in the area of southern Kerguelen Plateau during 2007 and 2009 austral seasons (in 2007, geophysical data were acquired jointly with Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany). Conducted studies enabled us to define crustal structure and characteristics of this region, to map principal tectonic provinces and features, to develop a seismic stratigraphy model, and to define depositional settings and environmental changes during Late Mesozoic – Cenozoic time.
