Abstract

Summary

An overview on the main hazardous geological processes endangered the Romanian-Bulgarian Black Sea coast with emphasize on hazards related to Bulgarian side, and goals and objectives of the Cross border project MARINGEOHAZARD whose purpose is to create key core components of a joint early warning monitoring system approved on both countries. The basic geohazards concerning Bulgarian part of the coast are presented. This includes historical strong earthquakes with tsunamis. The effects from the catastrophic earthquake with M7.2 occurred on 31 March 1901 near Kaliakra Cape have been described. The area is characteristic with large size landslide affecting strongly the North Bulgarian shoreline. The installed monitoring equipment included network of complex automatic marine measurement equipment, onshore network of online GNSS stations, extensometers, marine seismic monitoring equipment, etc. The first results obtained from 3D extensometric monitoring performed around Kaliakra Cape have been presented.
