Good afternoon!
Can anyone tell me where I can find a map of a particular country (or a complete world map) bordering the Arctic zone, and where the solid minerals located on the Arctic shelf will be mapped? For example, I have a map of a part of Russia that shows solid mineral occurrences on the shelf (https://www.americangeosciences.org/sites/default/files/igc/3286.pdf), and I want to make a map of the entire Arctic zone (including Norway, Canada, USA, Greenland, etc.). Interested in solid minerals, and specifically on the Arctic shelf (i.e., those that are expected to be mined underwater).
Dear Aleksandr Kirsanov Please do well to recommend my answer if helpful.
Maps depicting the distribution of solid minerals on the Arctic shelf can be obtained from various sources, including government agencies, research institutions, and international organizations. Here are some places where you might find such maps:
1. **Geological Surveys and Government Agencies:**
- Check the geological surveys or natural resources departments of Arctic countries. These agencies often conduct surveys and may provide maps of solid minerals on the Arctic shelf.
- Examples include the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Geological Survey of Canada, Geological Survey of Norway, and similar institutions in other Arctic nations.
2. **International Organizations:**
- Organizations like the Arctic Council or the International Seabed Authority may provide resources or links to maps related to the Arctic region's solid minerals.
3. **Research Institutions and Universities:**
- Academic institutions conducting research on Arctic geology or marine resources may have maps or datasets related to solid minerals. Explore the websites of universities with expertise in Arctic studies.
4. **Online Databases and Platforms:**
- Explore online databases that focus on geological and mineral resources, such as the World Data Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (WDC-MARE) or the International Geological Map Index (IGMI).
- GIS (Geographic Information System) platforms like ArcGIS Online might host relevant maps or datasets. Institutions using GIS for Arctic studies may share their findings through such platforms.
5. **Arctic Research Reports and Publications:**
- Scientific journals, research reports, and publications related to Arctic geology and mineral resources may include maps. Search for articles or reports from reputable sources.
6. **Government Geological Websites:**
- Visit the geological websites of Arctic nations and look for sections on offshore or marine resources. They might provide access to maps and data related to solid minerals.
7. **Library Resources:**
- Check with university or national libraries, especially those with strong Earth Sciences collections. Librarians may guide you to relevant publications or maps.
Remember that access to certain maps or data may be restricted due to national security, proprietary information, or environmental sensitivity. It's advisable to comply with any usage terms or permissions associated with the data you seek. If you have a specific country or region in mind, narrowing down your search to that particular area may also be helpful.
