Abstract

The Holocene history of the Curonian Spit – one of the largest accumulative coastal landforms – is under consideration. The vast amount of regional geological data was used. The sea level changes affecting processes on the marine and gulf coasts of the spit, as well as aeolian processes, configurate the recent spit morphology.

Keywords: geology, geomorphology, palaeogeography, boreholes, sea level, coasts.
