Abstract:
An overview of the history of tectonic mapping in Russia is presented, and the principles of tectonic mapping are briefly described. Here, out attention is focused on the Tectonic Map of North, Central and East Asia (scale 1:2500000, 2014) and the Tectonic Map of the Arctic (scale 1:5000000, 2019) prepared by international projects of Karpinsky Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI). The projects included participants from geological service agencies, universities and the academies of sciences of 13 countries. We describe the mapping approaches, structural features, legends, graphical design, and information at the map margins. The experience gained with the projects of these two tectonic maps will be used to compile the International Tectonic Map of Asia, scale 1:5000000 (ITMA-5000) and the Tectonic Map of Russia, scale 1:2500000.
