This subject is significant in light of the ongoing debates regarding the Flood Hypotheses because foraminifera can provide more information about many of the disputed questions. Foraminifera are highly reliable paleoenvironmental indicators, ubiquitous in marine environments, and taxonomically diverse, which gives them the potential for a wide range of biological responses to varied environmental factors. Their tests are readily preserved and can record evidence of environmental change through time, thus providing historical baseline data even in the absence of background studies. This book presents taxonomic descriptions for about 500 species and subspecies from the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, Sea of Marmara, and the Eastern Mediterranean. This catalogue is supplemented by ecological remarks, stratigraphic distributions, paleogeography, and environmental/paleoenvironmental applications, including responses to environmental stress, e.g., river discharge, pollution by different contaminants, etc. The book will be useful to specialists in Quaternary history of the ?CORRIDORS? as well as those in environmental monitoring and risk assessment. This handbook offers detailed taxonomic descriptions of foraminifera from the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Sea of Azov, Aral Sea (in Volume 1) and Eastern Mediterranean and Sea of Marmara (in Volume 2). . 410 0$aEarth and Environmental Science Series 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aBioinformatics 606 $aEcology 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aComputational and Systems Biology 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aWater 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 615 0$aPaleontology. 615 0$aBioinformatics. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aPaleontology. 615 24$aComputational and Systems Biology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aWater. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 676 $a593.12 676 $a579.440918229 700 $aYanko$b Valentina$01262223 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910616359903321 996 $aQuaternary Foraminifera of the Caspian-Black Sea-Mediterranean Corridors: Volume 1$94450636 997 $aUNINA
