In most of Sweden (except the very south) the uplift is faster than the current projected sea rise.

But it can't be so for the long term, can it?, if projected sea rise is like over ten meters.
As an example: 10k years ago during the last major ice age, Stockholm was 150 meters below the current sea level. The land is springy...

(https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landh%C3%B6jningen_i_Stockholm - use Google Translate.)

In 2009 a dock needed to lowered by 0.5 meters to keep up with the land rise.

AFAIK there's not the same phenomena in Helsinki. Is it so much less springy across the gulf ?
Seems odd...
