Holocene sediments taken from the south-eastern and western Black Sea have been investigated in relation to their geochemical, sedimentological and mineralogical characteristics. Their textures are characterized by their low amount of sand, upward-increasing silt and downward-increasing clay contents. While the terrigenous materials transported from Anatolian volcanic-based sources and European alluvial sediments form the shore deposits, the deep-sea sediments mainly consist of the marine biological production. The highest amount of organic carbon was deposited following the formation of anoxic conditions at the bottom until the beginning of the still continuing carbonate-rich coccolith (Emiliania huxleyi) deposition. The high metal concentrations are associated with fine-grained sediments, some with organic material. The metal concentration is diluted by high organic carbon and carbonate contents within the depositional sequences. While the abundance of illite in the western Black Sea describes the deltaic depositions, the downward decreasing smectite/illite ratio along the core, off the south-eastern shelf, indicates the downward increasing precipitation during the deposition. The variation in the sedimentation pattern and sedimented material is believed to be the response of the biochemical environment in the sea to the changing geological, biological and chemical conditions in and around the Black Sea during the last climatic changes.

The role of mesoscale processes controlling biological variability in the Black Sea coastal waters: inferences from SeaWIFS-derived surface chlorophyll field
Oguz, T; Deshpande, AG; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P (Elsevier BV, 2002-06-01)
Several different time series of chlorophyll images from the 1997-2000 Seaviewing, Wide Field-of-view Sensor data set have been analysed to gain a perspective on the dynamical and biological variability in the Black Sea, particularly oil its northwestern shelf region and along the Anatolian coastal zone. The images are interpreted in terms of documenting the close link between biological production and physical dynamics of the boundary system, and of emphasizing the role of eddy processes on controlling mes...
Satellite-detected early summer coccolithophore blooms and their interannual variability in the Black Sea
Cokacar, T; Oguz, T; Kubilay, N (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01)
Interannual variability of the prevalent early summer coccolithophore blooms within surface waters of the Black Sea was studied by means of satellite-based bio-optical observations. Two coccolith detection algorithms, tested for the Black Sea conditions, were found to provide comparable spatial coccolith patterns consistent with the corresponding true color images. Reliability of the algorithms is also supported by several sets of time-series measurements in different parts of the basin. An analysis of 6 ye...
Lateral injection of oxygen with the Bosporus plume - fingers of oxidizing potential in the Black Sea
Konovalov, SK; Luther, GW; Friederich, GE; Nuzzio, DB; Tebo, BM; Murray, JW; Oguz, T; Glazer, B; Trouwborst, RE; Clement, B; Murray, KJ; Romanov, AS (Wiley, 2003-11-01)
Saline and warm Mediterranean water flowing through the Bosporus Strait maintains a permanent pycnocline with vertical separation of oxic (O(2)), suboxic (absence of O(2) and H(2)S), and anoxic (H(2)S) zones in the Black Sea. The stable suboxic zone implies restricted vertical mixing of the upper oxic and lower anoxic layers and limited vertical flux of oxygen that cannot balance the upward flux of sulfide. We report data that directly confirm massive lateral injections (>200 km from the Bosporus) of oxygen...
Identification of the oxic anoxic interface by isopycnal surfaces in the black sea
SAYDAM, AHMET CEMAL; Tuğrul, Süleyman; BAŞTÜRK, ÖZDEN; Oğuz, Temel (Elsevier BV, 1993-07-01)
The analysis of hydrochemical data collected in the Black Sea since 1987 shows that the upper boundary of the oxic/anoxic interface zone coincides with the nitrate maximum at the depths of sigma(t) congruent-to 15.40 +/- 0.10 isopycnal surface. Its lower boundary corresponds to the phosphate maximum depth at sigma(t) congruent-to 16.20 +/- 0.05 isopycnal surface, independent of the geographical location and season. In the absence of the continuous pump cast measurement system, and when the oxygen and sulphi...
Assessment of temporal variation and sources of PCBs in the sediments of Mediterranean Sea, Mersin Bay, Turkey
Gedik, Kadir; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
Information on temporal distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the coastal sediments of Mediterranean Sea, Mersin was compiled using data published between 1980 and 2009, and the present study. The first congener specific PCB results from the region yield concentration levels of Sigma(41) PCBs in sediments ranging from 0.61 to 1.04 ng g(-1). Sediment profiles show penta-, hexa- and hepta-chlorobiphenyls, specifically, #149 and 153 as the most abundant congeners in all samples. Comparison of tot...
