Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The results of the lithological and geochemical analysis of bottom sediments collected in the southwestern part of the Kara shelf in the area of development of gas-saturated deposits in a paleovalley at a depth of 112 m are presented. It has been established that the accumulation of the Holocene marine sediments occurred under conditions of fluid inflow as a result of degradation of permafrost and destruction of its gas hydrates, which are apparently suppliers of isotopically heavy waters to the studied strata.
