Sedimentological and magnetic susceptibility analyses, and radiocarbon datings of six Holocene sequences (Ohtja, Kihelkonna, Vedruka, Vesiku, Lümanda, Jáempa) were used to elucidate the Litorina Sea development on the Island of Saaremaa, Estonia. The Litorina Sea beach formations are located between 20.5 and 15.5 m above the present day sea level. Spatial distribution of the Litorina Sea shore displacement was reconstructed. The onset of the Litorina Sea transgression in the study area is dated to 8200 cal yr BP. The measure of a single transgression was about 4.5–5.0 m.

Badania sedymentologiczne i analiza podatności magnetycznej oraz datowania radiowęglowe w 6 stanowiskach holoceńskich (Ohtja, Kihelkonna, Vedruka, Vesiku, Lümanda, Jáempa) umożliwiły przedstawienie rozwoju morza litorynowego na wyspie Saaremaa w Estonii. Formacje plażowe morza litorynowego występują na wysokości od 20,5 do 15,5 m n.p.m. Zrekonstruowano położenie brzegu morza litorynowego. Początek transgresji morza litorynowego określono na 8200 lat kalendarzowych. Wielkość pojedynczej transgresji wynosiła około 4,5–5,0 m.
