Many people have heard about the mysterious underw Many people have heard about the mysterious underwater forest in the Baltic Sea. 🌊🌳. The real question is: what can we actually learn from it? Researchers from the Institute of Baltic Sea Region History and Archaeology at @klaipedauniversity are diving deeper into this submerged landscape to learn how ancient forests, coastlines, and human settlements were shaped by changing sea levels after the last Ice Age. Using advanced methods such as acoustic mapping, radiocarbon dating, and underwater exploration, the research team is retracing a story that connects climate change, ecosystems, and early human life in the Baltic region. And not just that – this story also raises important questions about how, and why, we should protect underwater natural heritage.
