The archive contains different files. A processed high resolution Geotiff in UTM 33N (1200 dpi), a processed JPG in UTM 33N (300 dpi), the raw Geotiff in WGS84, the used Source SHP File with their secondary files, the “sources map” PDF and the release notes PDF.

The processed UTM 33N Geotiff and JPG are designed for simple and direct usage, while the raw WGS84 Geotiff is for work in different map projections. The original SHP-Files are for work with alternative colour ramps or detailed insight on the used sources and specific reasons for interpolation.

This is map version 1.1. The map extend is defined from 12°W to 44°E and 43°N to 72°N. All Data were digitalised from different sources (See source map), which are listed further down on this site.

The modern coastline is derived from Natural Earth (https://www.naturalearthdata.com), large lakes were added from the “WISE Large rivers and large lakes” dataset provided by the European Environment Agency (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/wise-large-rivers-and-large-lakes). Finally the shaded elevation is calculated on the “GEBCO One Minute Grid” from the “GEBCO Gridded bathymetric Data” (https://www.gebco.net/).

The maps were produced with QGIS 3.

  • Fennoscandian ice sheet data that is not corresponding with Stroeven et al. 2017 was removed and replaced by either water or land areas
  • Coast lines where partially interpolated due to missing data (different ice sheet sizes), based on extrapolation from other sources
  • The ice sheet shown in the maps from Brooks et al. 2011 was removed
  • Sea level for the Adriatic sea was set to -70 m a.s.l. based on sea level curve from Moscon et al. 2015
  • Sea level for the Black sea was set to -40 m a.s.l. based on sea level curve from Lericolais 2017
  • The coastline of Mezen Bay was interpolated to fit the coastline from Lunkka et al. 2012
  • The coastlines from Patton et al. 2017 where assumed as a mean of the 14.03 ka BP and 12.37 ka BP maps
  • Minor adjustments were made to smoothen the coastline
