On the interpretation of century-millennium-scale variations of the Black Sea level during the first quarter of the Holocene

摘要

Analysis and synthesis of different paleo evidence has enabled a qualitatively new outline of the Holocene history of the Black Sea (BS). In the early Holocene, the sea level rise was complicated by a series of transgressions and regressions. The question of their origin remains open because there are no clear, stable links of the BS level anomalies and palaeohydrological phases with the calendar of climatic anomalies. Tectonically induced vertical motions may also be a source of discrepancies of different eustatic curves.
