Danish spit systems, large sand bodies extending from the coast, serve as natural archives for reconstructing past variations in climate, sea level, and storminess. Research on the Skagen Odde spit system in northern Denmark (one of Europe's largest) and other localities has provided high-resolution records spanning the last 7,000-8,000 years.
