land is flooded. All these experiments do not take coastal protection into account.
Instead, they can be used to identify locations and areas where such activities may
be necessary and worthwhile.
Altogether, Sedsim proved to be an appropriate tool for the modelling of
Holocene coastal structures at the southern Baltic Sea. The model results for the next
840 years are geologically plausible. Therefore, in order to investigate the long-term
coastal evolution model runs for the geological past are proposed.

This chapter is a result of the project SINCOS (Sinking Coasts - Geosphere,
Ecosphere and Anthroposphere of the Holocene Southern Baltic Sea) which was funded by the
German Research Foundation.
The compilation of digital elevation data, provided by the Land Survey Administration
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, was prepared by
Mayya Gogina, Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde, Germany. Anke Barthel,
PhD student at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University Greifswald, Germany, digitized the terrestrial
sediment distribution map. Prof. Dr. Cedric Griffiths, CSIRO Australia, granted access to the
SEDSIM simulation software and the incorporated hardware resources.
