Central Baltic Sea and coastal areas of Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland

Sediment acoustics; Bathymetry and Elevation

Within the framework of the GEOBALT project, one bathymetric and one bottom sediment map of the entire central Baltic Sea at a scale of 1:500,000 has been worked out and compiled from various relevant and new information collected by the states around the Baltic Sea. The work, managed by Lithuania and Sweden, has been undertaken as a co-operative project between the states. Supplementary to the hard prints, GIS databases have been produced for the bathymetric and bottom sediments data. Both the maps and databases are aimed at and directed to the scientific, commercial, and general public users of Baltic Sea information. Keywords: Central Baltic Sea, geological map, bathymetry, bottom sediments, GIS data base.
