No evidence for a 10-m historical tectonic uplift at Mangalia, (Romanian Black Sea coast): comment on Drăguşin et al. (2025)
摘要
Drăguşin et al. (2025) interpreted deposits at Mangalia (Romania) as evidence of a two-phase tectonic event (~ 14 m subsidence and uplift) during the 18th–19th centuries. Based on multi-proxy data from the same site, we show that this scenario is inconsistent with regional tectonics, stratigraphy, and archaeology. The deposits instead record the gradual infill of a coastal depression episodically affected by extreme marine incursions.
