The Caspian-Black Sea-Mediterranean Corridor ["CORRIDOR"]
encompasses the Eurasian intercontinental basins of the Caspian, Black,
Marmara, Aegean, and Eastern Mediterranean (Levantine) seas with
their connecting straits and coasts. Periodic connection/isolation of
the basins during the Quaternary predetermined their specific environmental
conditions and particular hydrologic regimes, and thus, the
area, and especially the Ponto-Caspian, represents a “natural laboratory”
to study the responses of semi-isolated and isolated basins to climate
changes. Being characterized by rich sedimentary, geomorphological,
archaeological, paleoanthropological, and historical records, the
“CORRIDOR” provides a superb opportunity to assess the influence
of climate, sea-level change, and coastline migration on human development
(e.g., Yanko, 1990; Anthony, 2007; Stanko, 2007; Smyntyna,
2007; Yanko-Hombach, 2007; Yanko-Hombach et al., 2011; Yanina,
2012; Yanko-Hombach et al., 2014; Yanko-Hombach and Kislov, 2018;
Yanina et al., 2017) and foraminifera (Yanko, 1990; Yanko-Hombach,
2007). This, in turn, has enabled the correlation of major events in this
region with those in the Mediterranean Sea and the World Ocean. It
has also allowed a reconstruction of the time and direction of Caspian
and Mediterranean intrusions into the Black Sea via the connecting
straits (Yanko and Motnenko, 2012).
