Abstract

The problems of genesis and evolution of the Vistula (Baltic) Spit are discussed. The investigations make it possible to conclude that the origin and the development of the Vistula Spit are caused by the combination of the atmospheric, marine hydrodynamic and geolog- ic-geomorphologic characteristics of the lithogenic basis of the region. At present the rate of rising in the spit's area is comparable (at least not less) to the rate of the small rising of the Baltic Sea level, which is caused by the present, geologically short-term cycle of the Earth. The perspective of the spit's state on the engineering time scale gives no reason for concern.

Keywords

geomorphology, the Vistula Spit, coastal relief forms, the Holocene.
