ABSTRACTThe paper discusses the relationship between eustasy, climate and shore-displacement. It is shown that there is a good correlation between periods of warm climate and rise of sea-level. However, the quantitative relationship is not fully established. In areas with land uplift such as Scandinavia and Finland the eustatic transgressions can be traced through accumulation of shore-marks, e.g. along the eskers of Lake Mälar valley.
