MAPPING ACTIVITIES ON THE ROMANIAN BLACK SEA SHELF
Abstract
The oldest Romanian research focused on the Romanian Black Sea continental shelf was published in the volume The Sulina Arm. An outlet to sea (Danube European Commission, 1856). At the beginning of the 20th Century, The Marine Map ? Romania?s coastline was elaborated by Catuneanu. Additionally, biologists, geographers and geologists, such as Grigore Antipa, Ion Borcea, Constantin Bratescu, and Radu Ciocardel, among many others, initiated significant studies within the Romanian continental shelf in the first decades of the 20th Century. The systematic geological-sedimentological mapping of the Black Sea continental shelf was started in 1971 by the team of the Marine Geology Laboratory of the Romanian Institute of Marine Research, while since 1987 the mapping of the Black Sea continental shelf activities were integrated in the general activity of the Geological Institute of Romania. Since 1993, the mapping activities of the Romanian Black Sea region are performed by the National Institute of Research and Development for Marine Geology and Geo-ecology (GeoEcoMar). Over the last decades, the detailed mapping on the Romanian Black Sea continental shelf is produced, firstly at a 1:200,000 scale and later on a scale of 1:50,000. Information regarding the lithological and sedimentological aspects, along with the habitat mapping, as well as geophysical and geochemical investigations led to a complete picture of the NW Black Sea continental shelf.
