Changing sea levels and (semi-)terrestrial landscape development in the Baltic Sea coastal area, with special attention to the role of the Darss Sill

由于缺乏对德国东北部波罗的海地区晚魏奇塞利世和全新世植被发育的高质量研究，对海底沉积物岩心碎片的解释受到严重阻碍。该项目将提供全新世期间Fehmarn和Oder之间整个研究区域的沿海文化腹地（包括目前被淹没的地区）发展的年代详细和空间明确的模型。这将通过整合所有可用的孢粉学信息和分析来自德国东北部近海岸山谷泥炭地的其他高分辨率岩心来完成。在横跨Recknitz和Peene山谷的样带中进行的宏观化石和孢粉分析也将用于重建达尔斯盆地两侧全新世波罗的海水位。由于泥炭地可能会自行提高水位，并且可能对气候和水文变化变得越来越有弹性，因此将通过区分外部强迫和自主泥炭地生长来确定海平面上升的阈值。结合对其他SINCOS研究的岩心和样品的分析和解释，可以详细评估全新世期间自然环境的变化，并校准SINCOS气候、海平面和整合模式。

The interpretation of fragmentary submarine sediment cores is severely hampered by the absence of high quality studies into the Late Weichselian and Holocene vegetation development of Baltic NE Germany. This project will provide a chronologically detailed and spatially explicit model of the development of the hinterland of the coastal cultures (including the presently flooded area) of the whole study area between Fehmarn and Oder during the Holocene. This will be done by integrating all available palynological information and by analyzing additional high-resolution cores from near-coastal valley peatlands in NE Germany. Macrofossil and palynological analysis in transects across the Recknitz and Peene valleys will also be used to reconstruct Holocene Baltic Sea water levels on both sides of the Darss Sill. As mires may raise the water level autogenously and may become increasingly more resilient against climatic and hydrologic changes, the thresholds for sea level rise will be identified by distinguishing between external forcing and autonomous peatland growth. In combination with the analysis and interpretation of cores and samples from the other SINCOS studies, this enables the detailed assessment of changes in the natural environment during the Holocene and the calibration of the SINCOS climate, sea level, and integration models.
