Coastline changes of the Baltic Sea from South to East past and future projection /
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...
