BLACK SEA: THE FUTURE OF THE MINERAL RESOURCE BASE

Abstract

The article considers possible ways of geological study and development of the mineral raw material complex of the Black Sea, in particular, the energy complex, oolite iron ores, building materials, mineral fertilizers, fresh water, titanium zirconium, magnetite placers and thin gold. The necessity of studying and developing gas hydrates is emphasized. The importance of fundamental research for applied geology, especially the study of crystalline rocks of the Black Sea for understanding its geological history and structure is noted.
