The characteristics of horizontal displacements in fault zones of the Altai-Sayan mountain region are revealed with use of the earthquake focal mechanisms data. Left-lateral strike-slips are characteristic for the Bogdo, Southern Tannuol and Sayan-Tuva faults, and for the eastern part of the Bollnay fault. Right-lateral strikeslip is characteristic for the Koktokay fault.

There are six sedimentary seismic sequences overlying pre-Mesozoic basement in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary cover of the Arctic regions of West Siberia and the Kara Sea shelf. The paper describes the seismic markers characteristics and the seismic-facial features of the Paleozoic, Triassic, Jurassic, Neocomian, Apt-Cenomanian and TuronianCenozoic seismic sequences. It was concluded that the features of large Cenomanian gas pools are seismic markers associated with gas-water contacts; Apt-Albian pools are displayed on time sections by a bright spot seismic anomaly.

According to the results of a comprehensive sedimentological study of the core and well log data, the dissection of the bat-upper Jurassic sediments of the South of the West Siberian oil and gas basin was carried out. Quasi-isochronous marked levels are identified. They are represented by transgressive surfaces, maximum flooding surfaces and extended carbonaceous layers. They are the basis of the performed correlation. A number of characteristic lithological-facies sequences diagnosed by well log data was established.

Permafrost structure of Samoylov island coastline was determined with geological and geophysical methods. Geoelectrical model based on electrical resistivity tomography and ground penetrating radar data was compared with geological observations. Structure of contact between different types of frozen deposits was determined, influence of river water on permafrost (talik borders were determined) was estimated, ice wedges of different thickness were localized. Results of the study could be useful in permafrost research in the region because studied objects are typical in Lena delta.
