Book Chapter
Late Pleistocene Environmental Factors defining the Black Sea, and Submerged Landscapes on the Western Continental Shelf
2017
Overview
The Black Sea semi-enclosed basin is bounded by Europe, Asia Minor and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and Aegean seas and various straits. The Bosporus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles Strait connects it to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. For about 15 years the sedimentary systems of the northwestern part of the Black Sea extending from the continental shelf and slope down to the deep-sea zone have been studied using geophysical and coring techniques. These results provide a robust record of water-level fluctuations in the Black Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and thereby shed new light on its disputed aspects. The deep-sea fan studies demonstrate that the last channel-levee system on the Danube fan developed during the LGM with a water level about 120 m.
