Red Sea

Changes in sea levels often occur in response to meteorological forces such as wind and atmospheric pressure. These meteorological surges, or storm surges, lead to coastal flooding and erosion and are considered one of the greatest threats to coastal
environments and communities. Therefore, understanding storm surges and their driving forces is critical for coastal planning and management activities. Numerous studies on storm surges have been done in some oceans and seas around the world, for
example, in the coastal areas of the Bay of Bengal and along the coast of the North Sea, yet few have been conducted on the Red Sea.
Viet Nam paleo flora
https://phys.org/news/2022-03-paleogene-fossil-flora-northern-vietnam.html
The Oligocene Ha Long megafossil flora contains 38 species belonging to 16 families and 24 genera. This fossil flora belongs to the "Paleogene Pan Gulf of Tonkin palaeoflora" characterized by a Fagaceae-Lauraceae-Dipterocarpaceae-Liquidambar-Sabalites
assemblage. Showing a high similarity to other Paleogene floras in southern China, it can be described as a peripheral tropical forest mixed with limestone vegetation.Using both taxon-based and non-taxonomic leaf physiognomic approaches, the researchers
reconstructed the palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that northern Vietnam experienced a hot and humid climate in the Oligocene. A monsoon climate already existed, but was weaker than at present.
Moreover, they found that the Pan Gulf of Tonkin region, with northern Vietnam as its core, had a long-term climatic and floristic stability. Therefore, it is an important source for East Asian floral and vegetation development after the post-Paleogene
East Asia arid belt retreat.
Beringia trek vs kelp hiway

An international team of researchers has found evidence that suggests the Ice-Free Corridor (IFC) proposed to have existed between ice sheets along a route from Beringia to the Great Plains came to exist approximately 13,800 years ago. In their paper
published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes using cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating to date boulders left behind by the ice sheets that once covered the IFC, and their conclusion that early travelers likely
came by boat.
