abstract = "L{\ae}s{\o} is the largest island of the Kattegat–Skagerrak region and exposes a vast array of relative sealevel(RSL) indicators, mainly raised beach ridges, swales, lagoons and saltmarshes. The physicalenvironment of continuous glacial rebound, excessive supply of sediment, shallow surroundingwaters, low amplitudes of near-shore waves, and micro-tidal conditions produced numerous sealevelproxies of both barrier coasts and saltmarshes. About 1200 RSL/age index points reflect notonly short-term sea-level highstands as in most other parts of Europe, but also short-term sea-levellowstands, which in less regressive environments have normally been removed by coastal erosionor obscured by berms from subsequent highstands. Based on a high-precision lidar digital terrainmodel, the beach ridges have been mapped, typified, levelled and correlated relative to their orderof appearance. Transformation of this relative chronology to a robust absolute age model of the RSLchanges has been made on the basis of 119 optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) datings, 14Cdatings, and tree-ring datings. By ground penetrating radar (GPR) and terrain analyses, the heightof the swash zone (run-up) has been determined in order to transform the ridge elevations to adetailed curve of the RSL/age relation. The curve reveals eight centennial sea-level oscillations of0.5–1.1 m superimposed on the general trend of the RSL curve, including a Little Ice Age lowstandof 0.6 m at 1300 AD. The island grew from now eroded landscapes of Weichselian glacio-marinedeposits, including the oldest known post-Weichselian forested area in Scandinavia. During thelast 4900 years new coastal landscapes have formed continuously, resulting in around 4000 km ofstill visible, raised palaeo-shorelines in mostly uncultivated landscapes. After formation of theoldest preserved beach-ridge complex, numerous sea-level proxies formed in a strongly regressiveenvironment caused by glacial rebound supplemented with local uplift due to extensive erosionduring Boreal and Atlantic time of the 1700 km2 glacio-marine platform upon which the island isstill being built. The combined uplift produced a relative sea-level fall of 10.3 m, corresponding toa mean vertical regression rate of 2.1 mm/year and a mean horizontal regression rate of 2 m/year,and formed eight distinct types of raised coastal landscapes where well separated beach ridges andsaltmarshes developed continuously.The oldest preserved part of L{\ae}s{\o} appeared 4900 years BP as the eastern tip of a 10 km longbarrier-spit system growing from a raised glacio-marine landscape, now represented only byboulder reefs west and north-west of the present island. Around 4000 years BP another barrier-spitsystem appeared to the south, growing northwards from another raised glacio-marine landscapeat the raised boulder reefs in the town of Byrum and the abrasion landscapes of R{\o}nnerne. Around3000 years BP these two inital barrier-spit systems united and formed one major barrier betweenthe present towns Vester{\o} and Byrum.
