Abstract

During the recent decade, new data were obtained on the structure of the sedimentary layer in the northeast of the Barents Sea shelf. Spatial modeling is one of the promising methods for studying spatial, structural, and tectonic features. The spatial structural–tectonic model of the sedimentary layer of the Barents Sea shelf was interpreted using cluster analysis based on the obtained information on the morphometric characteristics of seismo-stratigraphic complexes.
