N1 - Funding Information: Funding: The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation (RSF No. 18–17-00176), the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (project No. FSZN-2020-0016), by grants from Saint Petersburg State University (No. 18.42.1258.2014, 18.42.1488.2015, and 0.42.956.2016 for field research and No. 18.40.68.2017 for the purchasing of scientific equipment), by grants from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR NN 18-05-00303& 19-05-50014), by the FEEL foundation (“Life Under the Ice project” http://wiki.epfl.ch/ladoga). A survey was conducted on the topic “Hardware and software systems development for the search, exploration, geophysical and geochemical monitoring of the exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs, including remote regions and challenging climate conditions”, with funding from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, using equipment purchased under the Development Program of Lomonosov Moscow State University (Grant Agreement No. 14.607.21.0187 of 26 September 2017, RFMEFI60717 × 0187).

N2 - Here, we present new results from seismic, geological, and geochemical studies conducted in 2015–2019 in the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onego, NW Russia. The aims of these investigations were to (i) to characterize the structure of Quaternary deposits and (ii) provide new evidence of modern geodynamic movements and gas-seepage in Holocene sediments. The structure of the recovered deposits was composed of lacustrine mud, silt and sands from the Holocene, limno-glacial clays (varved clays) from the Late Glacial–Interglacial Transition, and glacial deposits (till) from the Late Pleistocene. The thickness of these deposits varied in different parts of the bay. Many pockmarks created by gases escaping and reaching sediment-water interface were observed in these deposits. Such pockmarks can play a significant role in the geochemical and biological processes in the bottom sediment surface, and gases that escape might modify the physicochemical characteristics of the environment.
