Page "Black Sea deluge hypothesis" Paragraph 3

Samplings of sediments in the Black Sea by a series of expeditions carried out between 1998 to 2005 in the frame of a European Project ASSEMBLAGE and coordinated by a French oceanographer, Gilles Lericolais, brought some new inputs to the Ryan and Pitman's hypothesis.

These results were also completed by the Noah project led by the Bulgarian Institute of Oceanography ( IO-BAS ).

Furthermore, calculations made by Mark Siddall predicted an underwater canyon that was actually found.
