Abstract

In situ data collected by Marine Hydrophysical Institute investigators have been used to reconstruct the Black Sea paleochemistry during the period of Würmian glaciation. The geochemical behaviour of and maps for the Cu, Zn, Mo, and U steric distribution in the New Euxinic sediments that deposited in freshwater lakes under severe climatic conditions, with salinity being virtually zero, are reported. Similar chemical processes in the New Euxinic basin and Baikal Lake are examined.
