This book discusses sea-level and coastline changes. These topics are becoming increasingly
important for populations living along the edge of the world's oceans and seas, especially
in areas where eustatic sea-level rise is superimposed on isostatic subsidence and
storm-induced coastal erosion. This is the case at the southern and eastern Baltic
Sea coast: in the south, glacio-isostatic subsidence enhances the effect of climate-induced
sea-level rise and strong storm effects are causing a continuous retreat of the coast.
On the eastern coast glacio-isostatic uplift compensates for eustatic sea-level rise,
but storm-induced waves are responsible for permanent morphodynamic changes to the
coastline. There is an increasing need for protection concepts for defense but also
for the economic use of the different types of coastal zones. The elaboration of these
management concepts can be facilitated through models that generate future projections
of coastal developments in the light of modern climate change. This anthology comprises
the results of the research project "Coastline Changes of the southern Baltic Sea
- Past and future projection (CoPaF)" funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and
Higher Education, which was run by a team of Estonian, German, Lithuanian, and Polish
geoscientists and coastal engineers from 2010 to 2013 and overlapped with and complemented
the work of COST Action SPLASHCOS supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science
and Technology). As the southern and eastern Baltic serves as a natural laboratory
for the investigation of coastal processes, the project's findings contribute not
only to the solution of regional problems in Baltic coastal research and engineering,
but also to worldwide interests in description, modelling and parameterization of
coastal processes and morphodynamics
