The book discusses sea-level and coastline changes which are becoming increasingly important topics for the population living along the edge of the world"s oceans and seas. These topics are of special importance where eustatic sea-level rise is superimposed by isostatic subsidence and storm induced coastal erosion. This is the case at the southern and eastern Baltic Sea coast: In the South, where glacio-isostatic subsidence enhances the effect of climate induced sea-level rise and strong storm effects cause a continuous retreat of the coast. At the eastern coast the glacio-isostatic uplift compensates eustatic sea-level rise, but storm induced waves cause permanent morphodynamic changes of the coastline. There is an increasing need for concepts for protection, for defense but also for the economic use of the different types of coastal zones. The elaboration of those management concepts can be facilitated through models that generate future projections of coastal developments in fr
ont of the modern climate change. The proposed anthology comprises results of the research project "Coastline Changes of the southern Baltic Sea - Past and future projection (CoPaF)" which was ran by a team of Estonian, German, and Polish geoscientists and coastal engineers from 2010 to 2013. As the southern and eastern Baltic serves as a natural laboratory for the investigation of coastal processes - the achievements of the project shall contribute not only to the solution of regional problems in Baltic coastal research and engineering, but, shall be regarded as a contributions to general foci of description, modelling and parameterization of coastal processes and morphodynamics.
