GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The study area is located at the West end of the Polish coast, near the Odra River mouth and extends westwards to the border with Germany. It is situated at the eastern part of the Pomeranian Bay (Figure 1). Fig. 1: Location map of the studied area (Perry-Castañeda, 2002). 2 EUROSION Case Study 1.1. Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification General: Soft rock coasts, sedimentary plains with dune coasts and lagoons CORINE: beaches, rocky coast Coastal guide: coastal plain, cliffs 1.1.2 Geology The western part of the Polish coast is 45 km long. It is a postglacial, consisting of moraines cliffs and sandy dunes. Coasts with dune’s don’t exceed beyond 10m wide, Cliff coast of the eastern part is 8-30m high and at the western part, the cliffs reach up to 70-80m. The coast consists of soft rocks, including Pleistocene glacial deposits and recent alluvial and littoral Holocene sediments (Photo 1). Pleistocene deposits appear generating cliffs, of which the upper-most part is built of Holocene aeolian series. Remaining 50% of the studied area is of spit and barrier type with dunes 2-3m to 10m high. Behind the spits there are relatively wide depressions of glacial or glaciofluvial origin, in most cases filled with peat.

  • Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Exhumation in Central Europe – Localized Inversion Vs

Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in Central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift Hilmar von Eynatten1, Jonas Kley2, István Dunkl1, Veit-Enno Hoffmann1, Annemarie Simon1 1University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Sedimentology and Environmental Geology, 5 Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany 2University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany Correspondence to: Hilmar von Eynatten ([email protected]) Abstract. Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

You will also find contact details and other useful resources and a full list of current and recently-finished LIFE projects. Every year calls for project proposals are launched covering the LIFE programme’s priority areas. ABOUT LIFE The LIFE programme is the EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action. It has been running since 1992 and has co-financed more than 4 500 projects across the EU and in third countries, mobilising over €9 billion and contributing more than €4 billion to the protection of the environment and climate. The budget for the LIFE programme for 2014–2020 is set at €3.4 billion in current prices, with a sub-programme for environment and a sub-programme for climate action. Types of LIFE project: Other types of LIFE funding: Traditional (Environment and Resource Efficiency; Nature NGO operating grants and Biodiversity; Environmental Governance and Natural Capital Financing Facility (NCFF) Information; Climate Change Mitigation; Climate Change Private Finance for Energy Efficiency (PF4EE) Adaptation; Climate Governance and Information).
