Abstract
High-resolution seismoacoustic data were obtained in the central Tatar Straight of the Sea of Japan in 59-th cruise of Research Vessel «Akademik M.A Lavrentiev» conducted as a part of the international «Sakhalin Slope Gas Hydrates» project in the summer of 2012. The data was used to identify types of reflecting signals echotypes, map their distribution fields, and determine sedimentation environments. These environments include sedimentation with weak or no bottom currents on the eastern side of the strait, underwater erosion and redeposition by bottom currents on its western flank; transportation and deposition of sediments by bottom currents and turbidite flows with the formation of conturite drifts and sedimentary waves in the central part of the strait. An assumption has been made about the direction and relative velocities of currents that influenced sediment accumulation on the western side of the strait and in its central part.
