About this book
The book presents the cyclicity and micro-cyclicity phenomena which occurred during climate changes and during marine transgressions and regressions. As calculated by the author on the basis of geological research, the climatic cycle of the Earth allows a better understanding of climate changes and associated geological processes in the last 20, 000 years. In addition, the author discusses the structure of the sub-Quaternary bedrock and analyses complex geological structures of the Baltic Sea Quaternary deposits. Individual chapters address key aspects of:
- tectonic and geological analysis of the Baltic Sea basin
- detailed tectonic and geological analysis of the Polish Baltic Sea and Polish coastal zone
- global geotectonic cycles of the supercontinents
- cyclicity and micro-cyclicity arising in the atmosphere and hydrosphere of the Earth
- the climatic cycle of the Earth, presented for a better understanding of climate changes and associated geological processes in the last 20, 000 years
- calculating the extent of the influence of climate change and tectonic movements on marine transgressions and regressions
- simulation and correlation of the 310-year climate cycle
- predicted future Earth climate cycles in the Northern Hemisphere
The book will be useful for students and scientists of marine geology, oceanography, geography and environmental engineering. It will also be of practical utility for all specialists dealing with marine basins and coastal zones, including marine geologists, coastal geologists and geomorphologists, geographers, as well as engineering geologists, geotechnicians and civil engineers. The book is generally related to the discipline of marine geology, and deals directly with the Baltic Sea basin. However, the climate cycle of the Earth, which affects the course of marine transgressions and regressions, has a supra-regional dimension.
