title: ANCIENT COAST LINES AND RATES OF ABRASION DURING THE PLEISTOCENE IN THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN CRIMEA
abstract: A series of longitudinal profiles of coastal slope of Southern and Western Crimea have been compiled and analyzed. It revealed the ancient coastlines. Their age have been determined by the regional curves of sea level change. Ancient coastlines helped us to calculate rates of abrasion during last 18 thousand years as well as during all upper and middle Pleistocene. They have been compared with the present real and potential rates of abrasion. In most cases current rates are smaller, however ther
