This booklet stories concerning the result of a different Symposium “The Baltic Sea Basin”, hung on August eleven, 2008, in the body of the thirty third IGC at Oslo, Norway to be able to foster the knowledge of the Baltic Basin as a unit by way of genesis, constitution, ongoing methods and usage. it's the first time that during a joint booklet, scientists from assorted disciplines provide a accomplished assessment concerning the Baltic Sea basin in this kind of common feel. The e-book should be used not just through scholars and scientist but in addition by means of engineers and choice makers from and politics. Summarizing the cutting-edge within the research of the Baltic Sea Basin, but additionally within the source utilisation of the basin the booklet will increase the advance of recent tracking techniques and technical equipment layout together with satellite tv for pc remark tools, the institution of foreign examine laboratories, leading edge issues for interdisciplinary examine tasks, etc.

8 Discussion and Conclusions The Baltic Sea is a young geomorphologic feature that was established in Cenozoic time, most probably during the Quaternary period as evidenced by Middle Pleistocene marine sediments. However, some authors present evidences of Neogene ages of the N–S striking features, which dominate the Baltic Sea depression morphology (Grigelis 1991). Glacial erosional processes undoubtedly contributed to the shaping and deepening of the depression. But, even assuming the essential role of erosion, it is rather difficult to explain the exceptional ice sheet and melt-water activity in the area without a pre-existing tectonic depression.
This change in subsidence was due to the flexural bending of the western margin of the Baltica plate because of the docking of the East Avalonian plate in the west (Poprawa et al. 1999). The progressing advancement of the North German–Polish orogenic build-up in the west is reflected by the compensation of the subsidence by the sedimentary load during Late Silurian time. The basin was finally completely filled by Early Devonian Old Red deposits. By contrast to the hard coupling of Laurentia and Baltica, which caused 2 Geological Evolution and Resources of the Baltic Sea Area 27 intense faulting in the Baltic region, the soft docking of East Avalonia and Baltica did not result in any significant faulting of the Baltic region.
Glacial erosional processes undoubtedly contributed to the shaping and deepening of the depression. But, even assuming the essential role of erosion, it is rather difficult to explain the exceptional ice sheet and melt-water activity in the area without a pre-existing tectonic depression. A strong evidence for the tectonic nature of the Baltic Sea depression is the coincidence of the outline of the Cambrian marine basin and the recent Baltic Sea (Fig. 8). The Cambrian marks the onset stage of the Baltic basin that was initially established in response to the continent break-up, thus implying a strong extensional regime during the Cambrian, as supported by structural studies.
