The diatom records of two sediment cores taken in the SW part of the Gulf of Gdańsk indicate paleoenvironmental variability in the last three stages of formation of the Baltic Sea: the Mastogloia, the Littorina and the Post-Littorina. Diatom community compositions of the cores show the influence of several factors on past environmental conditions of the study area: (1) regional salinity changes, (2) changes of the Vistula River inflow, and (3) sedimentary processes connected with the Hel Peninsula development.

“…This phase of ingression was also rather short, ending 6700 cal BP as is evidenced by the following geological facts: -the presence of the oldest peat deposits about 6700 cal BP, on the marine sands, -the presence of fluvial sediments, older than 6600 cal BP, inserted in the marine sands In the area of the Szczecin Lagoon and the Świna Sandbar (Fig. 9), the oldest marine ingression could not have begun earlier than 7360 cal BP (Borówka et al, 2002(Borówka et al, , 2005, and therefore more or less at the same time as the second phase in the area of Mrzeżyno. The quite clear trace is a considerably thick series of sands with numerous shells representing the marine and brackishmarine environments (Woziński et al, 2003), including the shells in life position of Cardium glaucum which make it possible to identify the age and the rate of accumulation of marine sands (Borówka et al, 2009).…”

“…The aim of this study was to determine the actual age of the marine sand layers documented in a number of locations in the coastal zone of the Pomeranian Bay (Borówka et al, 1999(Borówka et al, , 2002(Borówka et al, , 2005Cedro, 2003Cedro, , 2005. A conducive factor was the presence of fossil shells of Cardium glaucum in marine sediments, some of which were preserved in a life position.…”

Abstract:In recent years, a team at the Geology and Paleogeography Unit, Marine Sciences Institute, University of Szczecin, has been performing geological, geochronological and paleogeographic surveys in (i) the Szczecin Lagoon and Świna Gate Sandbar and (ii) the estuary section of the Rega river valley near Mrzeżyno. These studies have helped to examine and identify not only the distribution of fossil marine sediments but also their lithological and sedimentological characteristics. The age of marine ingressions and regressions in the coastal zone of the Pomeranian Bay were determined using approximately 170 radiocarbon assays. It was found that the marine ingression associated with the 'Littorina transgression' was not synchronous at these two areas. It started earlier in the Mrzeżyno area, ca. 8300-8200 cal BP. In that first phase, marine sediments developed as tightly packed sands containing a few fragments of shells. In several profiles, these deposits were separated from the bottom and top with layers of peat, thus allowing an indirect determination of their age. The next phase of ingression began about 7300 cal BP. These younger marine sediments already contained quite numerous shells of marine malacofauna, especially Cardium glaucum, often found in a life position. In the area of the Szczecin Lagoon and Swina Gate Sandbar, the oldest marine ingression started as early as about 7350 cal BP. The quite clear trace is a considerably thicker series of marine sands with numerous sea shells representing marine and brackish-marine environments, including Cardium glaucum shells in a life position, which made it possible to identify the age and the rate of accumulation of marine sands.

Międzyodrze is an area in Lower Odra Valley, from the fork of the riverbed to Szczecin, with the islands between the Odra River and Lake Dąbie. In the past, it has served primarily as a waterway route and now serves a variety of economic and nature-related functions. This paper presents the historical and present role of Międzyodrze, taking into account the specific natural values of the Lower Odra Valley, hydrography, hydrology and soil conditions.In the area of Międzyodrze, there are basically three types of organic matter and the nature's point of view, the area is rich in flora and fauna.The current stimulation to activity of Międzyodrze is to take account of the needs of the natural environment, tourism and recreation, while improving the hydrological and retention potential of the area. Exceptional natural values, complicated hydraulic system of canals, the complexity of hydrological phenomena and the specificity of soils make the selection of activities aimed at achieving the objectives of area revitalization requires comprehensive environmental and hydrological analyses as well as economic analyses. The paper outlined the range of difficulties encountered by this assessment.
