Abstract
This paper is dedicated to correlation of the formation of coastal marine landforms with sea level fluctuations and climate changes in the last millennium using the southeastern Baltic region as an example. The morphological analysis of spits and historical evidence reveal three sea level oscillations in its evolution. It is shown that the sea level rise against the background of the sandy material excess in the coastal zone and optimum angle of the prevailing land-directed wind are the main factors responsible for accumulation of the thickest sandy formations. The recent climate warming and related sea level rise provoke global destabilization of coastal dune massifs.
