Mid- and Late Holocene hydrological and geochemical changes in Lake Chokrak (NE Crimea)
Year: 2020

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Crimean Peninsula has around 50 saline lakes, which formed during the Holocene marine transgression. These lakes are valuable archives of the Holocene sea-level changes in the Black Sea, but their chronologies and evolution remain largely unknown. This study presents reconstructions of evolution of the Lake Chokrak basin and its depositional environment during the last 8000 years. At present, the lake is hypersaline and separated from the Sea of Azov by a narrow sandbar. The
