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

Therefore, the theoretical analysis showed that the empirical data are controversial; observed BS level fluctuations during the first quarter of the Holocene and large water discharge value via the Bosphorus Sill could not occur simultaneously. The magnitude and occurrence of BS level fluctuations and features of the BS-Sea of Marmara interaction require further specification based on geological and geochronological evidence.
