A Holocene relative sea-level database for the Baltic Sea
We present a compilation and analysis of 1099 Holocene relative shore-level (RSL) indicators locatedaround the Baltic Sea including 867 relative sea-level data points and 232 data points from the Ancylus Lake and the following transitional phase. The spatial distribution covers the Baltic Sea and ne...

We present a compilation and analysis of 1099 Holocene relative shore-level (RSL) indicators locatedaround the Baltic Sea including 867 relative sea-level data points and 232 data points from the Ancylus Lake and the following transitional phase.
