AbstractFour sediment cores from the southern part of the Arkona Basin were analyzed in terms of their geochemical composition, age and stratigraphy. The main stages of the Baltic Sea: the Baltic Ice Lake, the Ancylus Lake and the Littorina Sea were identified in all the analyzed cores. The data confirmed the high water fluctuation and significant environmental changes during the Baltic Sea evolution in the Late-Glacial and the Holocene. The signs of the second regression of the Baltic Ice Lake, dated at around 11 000 cal BP, were identified at a depth of 24 m b.s.l. Regression of the Ancylus Lake, dated at 9300 cal BP, was identified at a depth of 23 m b.s.l. The most pronounced period was the transition stage between the Ancylus Lake and the Littorina Sea. The record of the Littorina Sea onset in the sediments of the Arkona Basin is marked as a sudden increase in loss on ignition, biogenic silica, magnesium, calcium, iron and strontium. The age of the Littorina Sea in the Arkona Basin was estimated as younger than 8200 cal BP.

The Baltic Sea is an ideal natural laboratory to study the methane cycle in the framework of diagenetic processes. In this paper we present preliminary geological mapping results from project Baltic Gas, a research project with the overall aim to contribute to the development of a scientific basis for long term sustainable use and protection of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. The Baltic Sea is a marginal sea with a strong permanent haline stratification, which leads to oxygen-poor bottom waters, and which is sometimes interrupted by oxygen- rich saltwater flowing in from the North Sea. The history of the Baltic Sea has resulted in deposition of organic-rich Holocene marine sediments that overlie glacial, late-glacial and early Holocene organic-poor sediments.

This article is devoted to the results of study of organic rich sediments of the Curonian Spit marine coast. Radiocarbon dating of relict tree stumps, as well as buried peat and palaeosols, found in the Russian part of the Curonian Spit (around the villages of Lesnoy and Rybachy) and in the vicinity of Zelenogradsk indicate the formation of these sediments during the large age scale since 7300 by 300 cal. BP and represent different stages of the Curonian Spit formation in Holocene. Organic rich sediments are objects of interest in terms of environmental protection, potential accumulators of oil (or its products) pollution, indicators of intensity of coastal erosion, also they play a suitable role for the understanding and reconstruction of the geological evolution of the whole Curonian Spit and Lagoon during the Late Glacial and Holocene.
