This work was part of international research efforts to understand the regional tectonic evolution of circum-Arctic palaeogeography, i.e. Circum-Arctic Sediment Provenance (CASP).
This work also has important implications for global economic resources since significant proven and potential reservoir rocks also occur in Arctic shelf regions, as well as for the development of the modern global climate system because cold water flowing from the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans drives global ocean circulation.
