Estimating Pre-Rift Bedrock Geology Under Shelf Sediments of the Circumpolar Arctic

In the Arctic Ocean, almost 50% of the seafloor is underlain by continental shelf. However, the geology of the pre-rift continental crust that makes up the basement of the shelf is poorly constrained because it is overlain by thick Cenozoic sedimentary cover.
