Abstract

A mathematical model describing the Black Sea level change in the Late Pleistocene-Holocene is offered. A theoretical curve for temporal change in the sea level is obtained. It is established that, in the range from 20 to 12 ky BP, the sea level rose to ∼20 m and fluctuated with various amplitudes and periods. In the range from 12 to 11 ky BP during the Bosphorus Strait formation, there was a sea regression by 30–50 meters, and level of the Black Sea dropped to the World Ocean level. Further, it mirrored variation of the ocean level.
