TL;DR: The Black Sea became a giant freshwater lake during the latest Quaternary glaciation and the surface of this lake drew down to levels more than 100 m below its outlet as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catastrophic Flooding of the Black Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal that throughout the past two million years the Black Sea was predominantly a freshwater lake interrupted only briefly by saltwater invasions coincident with global sea level highstand.
Journal ArticleDOI
The co-evolution of Black Sea level and composition through the last deglaciation and its paleoclimatic significance
Candace O. Major,Steven L. Goldstein,William B. F. Ryan,Gilles Lericolais,Alexander M Piotrowski,Irka Hajdas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, changes from the last glacial maximum (LGM) through the transition to an anoxic marginal sea using isotopic (strontium and oxygen) and trace element (Sr/Ca) ratios in carbonate shells were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on Black Sea outflow to the Sea of Marmara during the last glacial–interglacial transition
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of high-resolution cores from the upper continental slope off Romania in the western Black Sea provide a continuous, highresolution record of sedimentation rates, clay mineralogy, calcium carbonate content, and stable isotopes of oxygen and carbon over the last 20 000 yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abrupt changes of temperature and water chemistry in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene Black Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used gravity cores from the northwestern Black Sea slope to infer changes in the Black Sea hydrology and water chemistry for the period between 30 to 8 ka B.P (calibrated radiocarbon years).
