| Abstract | Monitoring of cliff cross profile changes in the Ustka area have been carried out by the authors for more than 8 years. The aim of the project has been to verify the validity of the model suggested by different authors before, who described patterns of cliff development in the area. For example, certain observations on the South Baltic cliffs have led to the prelimi- nary conclusion that the role played by geological conditions and related hydrogeological features in differentiating rates of cliff evolution is more important than assumed so far. The measurements in the controlled cliff profiles have yielded the following results: - beaches are the most dynamic areas in the onshore part. They undergo periodical changes, accreting from spring to sum- mer and being eroded in autumn and winter; - upper sections of the cliffs, typically built of aeolian sand, are least resistant. Hence, they are subject to mass movement, particularly in summer, under impact of vacationers. As a consequence, sandy taluses and aprons form in the depositio- nal area near the cliff base; - toes of landslide tongues in Poddąbie and Debina are now being progressively abraded. The slide in Debina was reactiva- ted during winter seasons 2005/2006 and 2006/2007, causing further enlargement of the landslide niche; |
