Resolutions of the workshop
On the Tectonic Map of Arctic at 1:5М scale
April 7-9, 2010
Saint- Petersburg, VSEGEI
1. We thank the Federal Agency on Mineral Resources of the Russian Federation,
Dr Oleg Petrov, VSEGEI Director General and his staff for their hospitality and
the excellent organization of this successful workshop.
2. Participants and guests of the workshop acknowledge the excellent results of the
earlier draft legends prepared by Drs Shokalsky, Labrousse, Pubellier, Harrison,
St-Onge and their colleagues.
MAP PRODUCT
3. That the name of the key proposed map and digital products be “Tectonic Map of
the Arctic Region” (“TeMAr”); part of the Atlas of Geological Map of the Arctic
Region at the 1/5 000 000 scale under aegis of CGMW, IUGS and UNESCO.
4. That circumpolar nations agree to produce and publish a high-resolution rasterimage (paper copy) map and related legend as generated from spatially-enabled
digital source file(s),
5. That circumpolar nations agree to produce the spatially-enabled digital files (in
common format) that were used to produce the paper/plot file version of the
TeMAr
6. VSEGEI will publish the paper and digital versions of the TeMAr with the
support and using CGMW standards.
7. That the base map and projection are directly taken from the Geological Map of
the Arctic, part of the same atlas
8. That the working language, preliminary and final products will be English

WORKING GROUP
9. That a working group tasked with producing the “Tectonic Map of the Arctic”
(“TeMAr”) is identified and includes key scientists and technical experts from the
participating nations (see Annex)
10. That the working group is led by Dr. Oleg Petrov
11. That composition and membership of the TeMAr working group is reviewed
regularly.
12. That tasks, deadlines and activities are assigned to the working group
PRIORITIES AND LEGEND
13. That the “Tectonic Map of the Arctic” (“TeMAr”) will include all onshore and
offshore areas north of latitude 60N
14. That the first priority for the TeMAr is to portray the principal structural elements
of the Circumpolar Arctic and their tectonic history.
15. That a high priority is to portray deep structures and crustal types.
16. That the latest time scale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS)
be used
17. That major faults (exposed and blind when documented) are shown
18. That colour is used to express the age of onset of subsidence of basin and cover
sequences
19. That colour intensity is used to express thickness variation
20. That color in orogenic belts is used to express the age of deformation
21. That the color of faults, fold axial traces and other structural elements represent
the age of deformation
22. That color of foliation vectors expresses the age of peak metamorphism
23. That the grade of metamorphism is expressed by line patterns of foliation vectors
24. That high-pressure metamorphism is expressed by point data and coloured based
on age of metamorphism
25. That color for oceanic crust expresses age of formation
26. That linear magnetic anomalies (isochrons) are shown and identified in areas of
oceanic crust
2
27. That neotectonic features are shown wherever possible
28. That the database and map will include and illustrate (where appropriate)
earthquake focal mechanisms, magnitudes, focal depths, and epicentres
29. That dyke swarms are represented by distinctive patterns and colored according to
their age
TASKS
30. That the authors of the latest Geological Map of the Arctic make their data file
available to all members of the “Tectonic Map of the Arctic” (“TeMAr”) working
group
31. That the working group will prepare the final version of the legend and will
consider the classification of crust types, basin types, lithological units, heat flow,
transects, correlation charts, inset maps, references, database structure, and
terminology
32. That Dr Oleg Petrov and the Commission for the Geological Map of the World
(CGMW) will provide all participating agencies with these resolutions, convene
and coordinate the activity of the working group as soon as possible.
TIMELINE
32. The working group will collect all the proposal on the structure and content of the
TeMAr legend by May 15, 2010
33. The working group will prepare the working version of the legend by the July 15,
2010
34. The working group will strive to produce a preliminary version of the TeMAr
map for presentation at the International Geological Congress (IGC) in Brisbane
in 2012.
