Abstract

The present study describes the Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental evolution and the main palaeoceanographic changes of the Aegean Sea reconstructed using planktonic foraminifera. This approach, including Q-mode and R-mode cluster analyses, gives an insight into the relationships between sea surface environmental changes between north and south Aegean, and furthermore serves as a baseline data set for palaeoclimatic and palaeoceanographic reconstructions of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
