ABSTRACT Tonisson, H.; Suursaar, U.; Kont, A.; Muru, M.; Rivis, R.; Rosentau, A.; Tamura, T., and Vilumaa, K., 2018. Rhythmic patterns of coastal formations as signs of past climate fluctuations on uplifting coasts of Estonia, the Baltic Sea. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 611–615. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. On uplifting and tideless Baltic Sea Coasts in Estonia, a number of elevated mid to late Holocene beach ridge systems with rhythmic patterns are identified. Such uplifted coastal formations serve as archives of past variations in sea level and climate, as well as extreme events. Luminescence dating and interpretation of airborne LiDAR elevation data were used to identify the main formation mechanisms of such beach ridge systems. More extensive (up to 100–150 ridges) and clearer ridge patterns were found on faster emerging (up...
