This article addresses the southern sector of the Curonian Spit, the largest coastal barrier of the Baltic Sea. A comparative analysis of the deposits that make up parts of the Curonian and Vistula Spits is given. The detailed analysis of the geological and geomorphological structure of the southern part of the Curonian Spit suggests that, within this sector, it is not a sedimentary barrier created...
The paper describes the conditions of formation of large accumulative forms on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea and presents the results of a comparative analysis of these structures. It has been established that Baltic barrier–lagoon systems have a complex geological and geomorphologic structure. Sandy barriers, which are, in general, marine accumulative formations, often comprise various...
Several sea level oscillations were fixed in composition and in the modern morphology (zonal structure) of the Baltic accretive coastal barriers — Curonian and Vistula Spits. Marine sediments were found in deep blow-outs of both spits and in ancient sand beach ridge near Kosa settlement of Vistula Spit. These sediments are corresponding to one of the last peaks of Limnea transgression.
The maps of changes in the Caspian sea coastal zone (1975-1991) show that flood and erosion prevail in the southern part of the Kalmykian coastal zone. Accumulation of deposits that can compensate the sea-level rise has been found only at the Kuma River mouth. While moving to the North the influence of the sea-level rise reduces due to buffer effect of the large shallow area of the Volga delta.
