connections following the last deglaciation
Benthic foraminifera were studied from four gravity cores that penetrated Holocene marine sediments in the Marmara Sea. Morphogroup and assemblage analyses reveal that the Holocene sea-level rise did not result in a catastrophic flooding event as proposed by W.B.F. Ryan and others, whereby well-oxyg...
