Abstract
This dataset supports an analysis of development shifts on the emerging Järve coast (Estonia) in Late Holocene (the Holocene epoch: past 11,700 years, 11.7 ka). The study area includes a sequence of accretional paleospits and beach ridges, which developed over the past 4 ka mostly through coastal progradation and land emergence driven by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). Using optically stimulated luminescence dating, LiDAR elevation data, historical cartography, and recent instrumental metoceean forcing data, the historical developments in relative sea level (RSL) and major shifts in the region’s geomorphology from the Mid- to Late-Holocene can be analyzed. The dataset includes two zip files, one for geomorphology of the Järve coast and the second includes auxiliary metocean (forcing) data....  Show more  Show less
