摘要
Major potential marine hazards affecting the coasts of the northern and eastern parts of the Baltic Sea are reviewed. While several classical hazards such as tsunamis are immaterial here, changes in sea level and its variability, wave regime, and wind-induced coastal flooding can significantly Impact coastal environments. Recent advances in detecting, analysis, and quantification of the influence of the natural factors and their changes in different Baltic Sea regions are described. Promising technologies for the monitoring of changes in the coasts and ways of mitigation of marine hazards are discussed.
