Animated visualization of post-glacial land uplift and shore displacement from modeled paleotopographic reconstructions

A high-quality, automated animation of post-glacial land uplift and shore displacement has been developed for the High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a dynamic visualization of these geodynamic processes from 10,500 years ago to 1000 years in the future. The 4K-resolution, 80-second animation, rendered at 40 fps, simplifies paleotopographic reconstructions while maintaining alignment with geological data. This approach provides an innovative tool for communicating complex geodynamic phenomena, contributing to cartographic representation and educational outreach.
