Mid- to late-Holocene sea-level evolution of the northeastern Aegean sea

We combined biostratigraphical analyses, archaeological surveys, and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) models to provide new insights into the relative sea-level evolution in northeastern Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean). In this area, characterized by a very complex tectonic pattern, we produced typology of index point, based on foraminiferal associations found transgressive marine facies. Our results agree with history previously region, therefore confirming validity type point. The expanded dataset presented paper further demonstrates continuous Holocene RSL rise portion Sea. Comparing record available geophysical predictions indicates that crustal subsidence Samothraki Plateau North Trough played major role controlling millennial-scale area. This rate needs be taken account preparation local future scenarios coming decades.
