Journal ArticleDOI
Oscillating Quaternary water levels of the Marmara Sea and vigorous outflow into the Aegean Sea from the Marmara Sea–Black Sea drainage corridor
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of sand-prone deposits are identified beneath an uppermost (Holocene) transparent mud drape in the Dardanelles, and the sandy deposits thicken into mounds with the morphology and cross-sectional geometries of barrier islands, sand waves, and current-generated marine bars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Last glacial–Holocene paleoceanography of the Black Sea and Marmara Sea: stable isotopic, foraminiferal and coccolith evidence
Ali E. Aksu,Richard N. Hiscott,Michael A. Kaminski,P.J. Mudie,Helen Gillespie,Teofilo A. Abrajano,Doğan Yaşar +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, multi-proxy data and radiocarbon dates from several key cores from the Black Sea and Marmara Sea document a complex paleoceanographic history for the last V30 000 yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dinoflagellate cysts, freshwater algae and fungal spores as salinity indicators in Late Quaternary cores from Marmara and Black seas
TL;DR: In this paper, the main acritarchs are Sigmopollis psilatum, Concentricystes cf. rubinus and cf. acritarch-8 of Traverse (1978), all of which are absent from the Aegean Sea and decrease in abundance with increasing salinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent holocene outflow from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean contradicts Noah's flood hypothesis
Ali E. Aksu,Richard N. Hiscott,Peta J. Mudie,André Rochon,Michael A. Kaminski,Teofilo A. Abrajano,Doğan Yaşar +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 10-11 k.y. history of low surface water salinities in the Marmara Sea and northern Aegean Sea was recognized using seismic profiles, 65 soft-sediment cores, and 43 radiocarbon dates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic stratigraphy of Late Quaternary deposits from the southwestern Black Sea shelf: evidence for non-catastrophic variations in sea-level during the last ∼10 000 yr
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed interpretation of single channel seismic reflection and deep-tow boomer and sparker profiles demonstrates that the southwestern Black Sea shelf formed by a protracted shelf-edge progradation since the Miocene-Pliocene.
