The book presents the cyclicity and micro-cyclicity phenomena which occurred during climate changes and during marine transgressions and regressions. As calculated by the author on the basis of geological research, the climatic cycle of the Earth allows a better understanding of climate changes and associated geological processes in the last 20,000 years. In addition, the author discusses the structure of the sub-Quaternary bedrock and analyses complex geological structures of the Baltic Sea Quaternary deposits. Individual chapters address key aspects of:
The book will be useful for students and scientists of marine geology, oceanography, geography and environmental engineering. It will also be of practical utility for all specialists dealing with marine basins and coastal zones, including marine geologists, coastal geologists and geomorphologists, geographers, as well as engineering geologists, geotechnicians and civil engineers. The book is generally related to the discipline of marine geology, and deals directly with the Baltic Sea basin. However, the climate cycle of the Earth, which affects the course of marine transgressions and regressions, has a supra-regional dimension.

In the international scientific activity, he is an active member of Coastal Education and Research Foundation, in Coconut Creec, FL, USA. His scientific interests are connected with several research areas, including the geological studies of the coastal zone and seabed of the Baltic Sea, where he uses the high resolution seismic and seismoacoustic techniques, and in applied sciences an engineering-geological and hydrogeological studies for building constructions and environmental engineering. He recently published two scientific chapters (2016, 2018) in the books of Springer International Publishing as a part of the Coastal Research Library series.
