Environmental and Climate Dynamics During the Last Two Glacial Terminations and Interglacials in the Black Sea/Northern Anatolian Region - Integrated Analysis of Interglacial Climate Dynamics (INTERDYNAMIC) - page 120

distinct events, i.e., the late glacial massive melt water discharges and the early
interglacial reconnections to the Mediterranean Sea pacing the particular timing and
amplitude of the observed environmental changes (Wegwerth et al. 2014 ). Further
work is needed to reconcile the impact of the Black Sea system on the eastern
Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, detailed Black Sea studies on the transitions from
marine to limnic environments during the late interglacial states are required.
