Implications of sea-level rise for Estonia. ,ek# 8000010 Journalof CoastalResearch, 24(2), 423-431. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Estonia is a coastal country with a long coastline (3800 kin) for which climate change and accelerated sea-level rise are key problems that need to be considered in any future impact assessment. Due to its flat, low-lying coastal zone, any rise in sea level places many coastal ecosystems and recreationally valuable sandy beaches at risk. Milder winters, combined with increased storminess and the absence of sea-ice cover, would exacerbate these impacts. However, isostatic uplift and the distance of coastal settlements from the present coastline could reduce these risks. This paper presents the potential impact of a 1-m global sea-level rise by 2100 if no adaptation is undertaken. Seven representative study areas, characterising all shore types in Estonia, were selected for sea-level rise vulnera- bility and adaptation assessment. The diverse structure of Estonia's coasts, the rapidly migrating shorelines, and the abundance of small islands were found to complicate reliable predictions regarding climate warming and accelerated sea-level rise. ADDMTIONAL INDEX WORDS: Climate change, coastal ecosystems, coastal areas at risk, Baltic Sea.

  • Anthropogenic Storms in the Baltic Sea and the Coastal Response
    ANTHROPOGENIC STORMS IN THE BALTIC SEA AND THE COASTAL RESPONSE Victor Alari Marine Systems Institute at Tallinn University of Technology Akadeemia Rd 21b, 12618, Tallinn, Estonia Email: [email protected] Ants Erm Marine Systems Institute at Tallinn University of Technology Urmas Raudsepp Marine Systems Institute at Tallinn University of Technology 1. INTRODUCTION The Baltic Sea is nearly tideless (amplitudes of M2 and K1 waves are 0.01–0.02 m in the Baltic Proper, e.g. Suursaar et al, 2003), a large brackish inland sea, located in north- eastern Europe (Fig. 1). 16 million people in 9 countries residue near the Baltic Sea coast, therefore making the sea an important area for food, recreation and transport. Due to the complex geometry with straits, sills, archipelagos and open sea areas, the Baltic Sea can be regarded as a number of natural sub-basins (Omstedt and Axell, 2003). The Gulf of Finland is a sub-basin in eastern part of the Baltic Sea (Fig. 1). It is an elongated estuarine sea with an open boundary to the west. Two capital cities lie at the opposite coasts of the Gulf of Finland: Helsinki in the north and Tallinn in the south. Between these cities, vessel traffic has rapidly increased after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Waves generated by high speed crafts (HSC) in the vicinity of ship lanes have become a problem of growing concern in many countries (Kofoed-Hansen and Mikkelsen, 1997; Parnell and Kofoed-Hansen, 2001; Velegrakis et al, 2007), among them Estonia, and particularly in Tallinn Bay.
