The article presents the results of integrated geologic-geophysical investigation of the Arkhangelsky submarine volcanic massif, which is located in the Bussol Strait in the central zone of the Kurile Island Arc. The massif consists of amalgamated and eroded volcanic edifices and is built up of endogenous basalts and exogenous tuffs. Rocks and minerals to the exclusion of quartz are hydrothermally altered; moreover they were altered after the formation of tuff. High values of the natural remnant magnetization of dredged rocks are caused by the high content of single-domain and pseudo-single-domain grains of titanomagnetite and magnetite. The Arkhangelsky massif most likely was formed during periods of global geomagnetic disturbances. The authors have revealed feeders of the near-vertical and southeastern trends and causative magnetic blocks with different geometric and magnetic characteristics in the edifice of the massif. A peripheral magma chamber has been revealed between depths of 1100–1200 m. At the southeast foot of the massif we found large landslide blocks.

The article presents the results of integrated geologic-geophysical investigation of the Ratmanov submarine volcanic massif, located in the Kurile Island Arc, 15 km southeast of the Chirinkotan island. There is a small submarine volcano on the northwestern slope of the massif with a relative height of 400–450 m, dredging of which raised andesites and a small number of andesite basalts. New data have been obtained on the mineral and chemical compositions and structural features of the massif rock formation. High values of the natural remnant magnetization of dredged rocks are caused by the high content of pseudo-single-domain of titanomagnetite grains. The foot of the massif is overlain by a volcanic-sedimentary sequence 400–800 m thick, and its formation most probably took place during periods of global geomagnetic disturbances. The maximum effective magnetization of the massif reaches 0.8 A / m. In the deep of the massif, supply channels, as well as peripheral magma chambers in the depth intervals of 3.8–4.6 km and 6–7.1 km, are identified.

The paper provides results from application of designed modern computer techniques for interpretation of materials from complex geophysical investigation of submarine volcanoes 2.7 and 2.8, which are located west of the south-western coast of Onekotan Island in the Kurile island arc. The research resulted in estimation of rock magnetic properties in natural deposits and revealed that the south-western flanks of submarine volcano 2.8 are the most magnetized with their productive magnetization of about 2 A/m. The authors suggested that the feeding channels of volcano 2.7 stretch southwest, while the feeding channels of volcano 2.8 stretch subverticaly, southwest and southeast. A peripheral magma chamber of the volcano was revealed at the depth of about 650 m.

Modern techniques for interdisciplinary investigation of submarine volcano 6.1 in the Kurile island arc. The paper suggests that there are peripheral magmatic chambers at depth 4,1 - 5,2 km and subvertical conduit channels, submarine volcano, Kurile island arc.

The paper provides results from application of modern computer techniques for interpretation of materials from complex geophysical investigation of submarine Makarov Volcano, the Kurile island arc. Investigations allowed evaluation of rock magmatic properties in-situ, and helped to determine that the most magnetized parts of the edifice are its ridge top and a part of the southern flank up to 2300 m deep. A causative magnetic body traced to the depth of 11,5 km was revealed. The authors suggest that there is a petrified peripheral magmatic chamber at depths from 2,5 to 4,2 km and that a subvertical feeding system of the volcano.
