“…With an accelerated rise, however, the situation could potentially repeat that observed in the Early Atlantic with widespread "drowning" and disintegration of the study area into a series of islands. The facies architecture of the Holocene barriers of SE Rügen Island provide no evidence for a cyclicity of the water-level rise as proposed by Schumacher (2002), nor evidence of a water-level fall since the onset of the transgression in the Early Atlantic as stated by Schumacher and Bayerl (1999) and Janke and Lampe (1999). As the area investigated is characterized by silici-clastic sedimentation during most of the Holocene, minor waterlevel changes (<0,5 m) may not be documented in the geological record and therefore are not traceable.…”

“…From the onset of the transgression in the Early Atlantic, a steep rise is recorded in all curves, with a mean value of ~12 mm/yr. This increase was followed by a fall of about 6 m (Schumacher and Bayerl, 1999;Janke and Lampe, 1999) at the end of the Atlantic, caused by a sudden neotectonic uplift of the area. No such fall was found by Kliewe and Janke (1982).…”

“…The Holocene sea-level history on the NE German coast has been studied in detail by Kliewe and Janke (1982), Schumacher and Bayerl (1999), Janke and Lampe (1999) and Lampe (2005). The different sea-level curves show a generally rising level throughout the Holocene but they vary in detail.…”

“…During the Subboreal and Subatlantic, relative sea level rose slowly until today. Schumacher and Bayerl (1999) proposed an undulating rise, and Schumacher (2002) proposed a cyclicity to these undulations of approximately 550 years. Schumacher and Bayerl (1997) investigated the Schaabe spit located in the north of Rügen Island and found subterraneous terraces at the margin of the barrier where the till surface rises.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term coastal evolution of Mönchgut peninsula (Rü-gen Island) on the non-tidal SW Baltic Sea coast. The geological setting of the barriers was determined by coring Late Pleistocene to Holocene deposits. The sediment succession starts with a Late Glacial till overlain by Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene sandy freshwater deposits of fluvial origin. There is no evidence that any early evolutionary stages of the Baltic Sea (i.e. Baltic Ice Lake, Ancylus Lake) reached the study area. In the Boreal, the Aquat. Sci. 67 (2005) 132 -141 Aquatic Sciences landscape was characterized by W-E striking channels, interpreted as valleys of a river system. These valleys are up to 15 m deep. The Littorina transgression inundated the study area in the Early Atlantic. Our work indicates that the rate of sea-level rise was the most important factor controlling coastal evolution on Rügen Island. The rapid rising water level drowned the coastal area, while during the period of a moderate rise (~1 mm/yr) sediment was transported along the shore to accumulate as beach ridges and wind flats.

“…Following the Litorina transgression onset (approximately 8,000 cal BP), the sea level in the southern Baltic Sea has reached a relatively stable level with minor fluctuations in the range of several meters in the last 6,000 years (Kliewe 1995;Schumacher and Bayerl 1999;Muller 2001). The rate of sea-level change is generally between −1 mm/year and 1 mm/year in the southern Baltic Sea in the last 4,000 years (Lampe 2005), which is the same magnitude as neotectonic movements in this area (Harff et al 2007).…”

The Darss-Zingst peninsula at the southern Baltic Sea is a typical wave-dominated barrier island system which includes an outer barrier island and an inner lagoon. The formation of the Darss-Zingst peninsula dates back to the Littorina Transgression onset about 8,000 cal BP. It originated from several discrete islands, has been reshaped by littoral currents, wind-induced waves during the last 8,000 years and evolved into a complex barrier island system as today; thus, it may serve as an example to study the coastal evolution under long-term climate change. A methodology for developing a long-term (decadal-tocentennial) process-based morphodynamic model for the southern Baltic coastal environment is presented here. The methodology consists of two main components: (1) a preliminary analysis of the key processes driving the morphological evolution of the study area based on statistical analysis of meteorological data and sensitivity studies; (2) a multi-scale high-resolution process-based model. The process-based model is structured into eight main modules. The two-dimensional vertically integrated circulation module, the wave module, the bottom boundary layer module, the sediment transport module, the cliff erosion module and the nearshore storm module are realtime calculation modules which aim at solving the shortterm processes. A bathymetry update module and a long-term control function set, in which the 'reduction' concepts and technique for morphological update acceleration are implemented, are integrated to up-scale the effects of short-term processes to a decadal-to-centennial scale. A series of multi-scale modelling strategies are implemented in the application of the model to the research area. Successful hindcast of the coastline change of the DarssZingst peninsula for the last 300 years validates the modelling methodology. Model results indicate that the coastline change of the Darss-Zingst peninsula is dominated by mechanisms acting on different time scales. The coastlines of Darss and the island of Hiddensee are mainly reshaped by long-term effects of waves and longshore currents, while the coastline change of the Zingst peninsula is due to a combination of long-term effects of waves and short-term effects caused by wind storms.
