Freshwater influx to the eastern mediterranean sea from the melting of the fennoscandian ice sheet during the last deglaciation

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

The authors quantify the meltwater flux from the FIS into the Caspian and Black Seas catchments using ice sheet ­reconstructions25-27. By using transient simulations of the last deglaciation, the authors estimate the water budget over the Black Sea for this period. The three ice sheet reconstructions the authors used, ICE-6G26, GLAC-1D27 and Patton et_al25, rely on different methods. Patton et_al`s reconstruction uses a thermomechanical model with regional constraints. The reconstructed volume of ice in the Black and Caspian Seas catchments and the associated meltwater flux show several phases from 21 . . .
