A case study in the North-Western Black Sea region on the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary %D 2016 %@ 2443-9762 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10498/18445 %X Resilience theory was first introduced in the field of natural sciences during the last third of the twentieth century and soon gained transdisciplinary significance having demonstrated its high cognitive potential in the fields of ecology, psychology, cultural studies and many of the other neighbouring sciences dealing with the study of human responses to external challenges. The concept of cultural resilience was only introduced for studying past human responses to global climate change during the last decade and, in spite of relatively restricted number of case studies to verify it, it highlights many important aspects of human behaviour which were traditionally underestimated within the framework of other theories (such as the theories of adaptation, environmental stress and others). The purpose of this current contribution is to demonstrate the cultural resilience concept as a relevant application in the context of studying human response to global climate change in the North-Western Black Sea region on the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. %K Resilience %K Global Climate Change %K North-Western Black Sea %K Pleistocene %K Holocene %K Resiliencia %K Cambio Climático Global %K Mar Negro Noroeste %K Pleistoceno %K Holoceno %~ Universidad de Cádiz
