Аннотация:ABSTRACT
The climatic changes, the sea level changes and the palaeo ¬ geographical conditions of the Black Sea coastal and shelf areas during the Quaternary have been reconstructed and discussed.
The Quaternary sediments of the regional stratigraphical level have been analysed from the point of view of the lithofacies, biostratigraphical and geomorphological position. A correlation between the units of the coastal zone and the shelf area has been made and it has been concluded that features within both areas had been the result of the same transgressive-regressive cycles of the Quaternary evolution of the Black Sea .
Key words: transgressive-regressive cycles; Quaternary sediments, climatic and sea level changes , molluscan fauna, palaeogeographical reconstruction
