Geotectonic studies of the basement of the Ukranian shield based on geologic-formation approach: key findings

Purpose. To present the summary of findings of the geotectonic analysis of the basement of the Ukrainian Shield (US) and to give grounds for the specific conditions of its formation in the Early Precambrian. Methodology. Conducting analysis using the latest results of the of morphoparagenetic geological-formational studies and concepts as to the layer-block structure of the region. Results.

The role of geodynamics in spatial distribution of traditional and nontraditional deposits of hydrocarbon resources of Dniprovsko-Donetska depression

Target. Finding subordination of spatial distribution of hydrocarbon accumulation of different types because of region geodynamics.Methods. The main stages of sedimentary cover forming of Dniprovsko-Donetska depression have been characterized, geodynamic factors led to forming of paleolandscapes have been studied, paleogeomorphic and lithology-facial reconstructions have been done, peculiarities of sedimentation processes, forming of composition and structure of sedimentary complexes and distribution of hydrocarbon accumulation of different types there have been fixed.
