Coastlines of the Baltic Sea – Zones of Competition Between Geological Processes and a Changing Climate: Examples from the Southern Baltic - The Baltic Sea Basin - page 155

Fig. 7.4 Relative sea level change curves ( black ) compared to the eustatic curve ( blue )andthe
isostatic component ( red ) at nine locations in the Baltic Sea coast area. Locations 1 - 3 are dom-
inated by climatically controlled sea level rise, whereas 6 - 8 are mainly determined by isostatic
uplift exceeding the sea level rise clearly. Sites 4 , 5 ,and 9 are allocated to a transition type. Curves
1 and 2: Lampe et al. ( 2007 ) , curve 3: Uscinowicz ( 2006 ) , curve 4: Veski et al. (in press), curve 5:
Miettinen ( 2004 ) , curve 6: Linden et al. ( 2006 ) , curve 7: Berglund ( 2004 ) , curve 8: Karlsson and
Risberg ( 2005 ) , curve 9: Berglund ( 1964 )

published relative sea level curves were used as model input. Rosentau et al. ( 2007 )
have described how the data from these curves can be digitized and interpolated in
any time resolution providing data grids covering the area of investigation. We refer
here to the selected set of relative sea level curves given in Fig. 7.4 (black curves).
Each rsl curve covers the time span between 8000 years BP ( t

= 8000, the Littorina

Transgression onset) and recent time ( t = 0). The different shapes of curves 5-9
