Postglacial connection of the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and its relation to the timing of sapropel formation
Open accessAbstract
The opening of the connection between the Mediterranean and Black Seas as sea level rose above the Bosporus sill has long been associated with the formation of the most recent, Holocene, sapropel deposit (S 1) in the eastern Mediterranean, but the mechanism has remained elusive. We present a model for the opening of the Black Sea, based on hydraulics arguments, which demonstrates that increased freshwater flux out of the Black Sea began 500–1000 years after sea level reached sill depth and that the timescale for the increased freshwater flux that drained the freshwater reservoir of the Black Sea is about 2500–3500 years. We argue that the increased freshwater discharge out of the Black Sea would lead to decreased deep water formation and higher productivity in the surface waters in the eastern Mediterranean, two conditions generally associated with sapropel formation. The delay in increased freshwater flux after the opening of the Black Sea and the period of increased freshwater discharge appear to match the onset and duration of sapropel deposits in the eastern Mediterranean.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
