| Abstract [eng] |
A detailed analysis of the geological structure was carried out applying modern digital technique for interpretation of seismo-acoustic records in the southeastern part of the Baltic Sea and adjacent land. The work is focused on the palaeo-incisions. These geological objects are important from a geoecological point of view – palaeo-incisions could be associated with “hydro-geological windows” between different aquifers. The salt water from deep aquifers or polluted water from surface might infiltrate into the horizons of drinking water via palaeo-incisions. Also the discharge of salt or fresh water from the seafloor could affect the development of benthic ecosystems. |
