Summary: Research indicates that during the Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode, volcanic activity may be linked to multiple carbon inputs into the atmosphere-ocean system and enhanced hydrological cycle. New data suggests that volcanic Hg inputs into basins may be associated with CPE global negative C-isotope excursions and humid phases.

Summary: During the Early Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode, there was an increase in precipitation, evidenced by thick siliciclastic deposits, C-cycle perturbations, and global warming. The mechanisms driving higher siliciclastic deposition are still not fully understood and could be related to the effects of climate change on depositional environments.

Summary: The dry climate in the eastern part of the Central European Basin during the Triassic period was interrupted by multiple humid episodes, with the Carnian Pluvial Episode being one of them. Palynological and sedimentological studies show a shift from dry to wet climate conditions, supported by data from other European regions.

Summary: This study establishes a standardized database of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) data from far-field islands in the mid-Pacific. The database can be used to validate the ice-melting histories of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models. Lack of quality control in the RSL reconstruction hinders understanding of regional variability and ice-equivalent sea-level changes.

Summary: This study investigated a deep-sea core collected from the Western Philippine Sea and obtained a magnetic record dating back to around 900 ka, revealing a decrease in magnetic mineral content and grain size during the Mid-Brunhes Event (MBE). This suggests that the accumulation of magnetic minerals in the deep-sea deposition process was affected by this critical climatic event.

Summary: This study investigates the changes in the carbonate compensation depth (CCD) in the Philippine Sea over the past 900 kyr. The results show that the CCD varied significantly during this period and is closely linked to marine productivity and aeolian dust.

Summary: Spatial analysis of sea-level estimates derived from backstripping Mid-Atlantic margin cores reveals a coherent signal of topographical uplift occurring over the region since 35 Ma, potentially superimposed upon Cenozoic subsidence linked to the subducted Farallon plate. Statistical modeling suggests that ocean basin volume variations likely contributed to a global-mean geocentric sea-level fall of 39 +/- 24 m over the past 55 million years, with Cenozoic subsidence unlikely to have exceeded 100 m.

Summary: This study investigates the sedimentary sequence of the inner shelf of the East China Sea, revealing multiple abrupt rises in deglacial sea level. The results suggest significant environmental changes on the inner shelf during sea-level rise, and the information about sea-level rise is also connected to the weakening of the Asian monsoon.

Summary: The study reveals that a mid-Holocene sea-level highstand and subsequent sea-level fall occurred on the southwest coast of the Arabian-Persian Gulf, possibly due to the Earth crustal response to meltwater load. Analysis and modeling of sea-level indicators indicate that the highstand occurred 6.7-6.0 ka, followed by shoreline migration in line with the sea-level fall until around 3 ka.

Summary: This article investigates the influence of the Arctic mid-ocean ridge system (AMORS) on seismicity in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago area and the northernmost margin of the East-European Platform. By analyzing annual seismic energy and constructing time distributions of energy releases, a model based on Elsasser's theory was built to describe the transfer of lithospheric stress disturbances. Results show good agreement with annual seismic energy time lags between rifts and the study areas, and disturbance spreading lags from different ridges in the Arctic region were calculated, suggesting their impact on intraplate seismic activity.

Summary: From 12 to 16 October 2016, a series of three major low pressure systems, including the tail end of Typhoon Songda, caused storm surges and waves along the coasts of British Columbia and Washington state. These low pressure systems merged with other cyclones and generated sea level oscillations that were 1.5-2.5 times greater than expected, due to local topographic amplification. The sea level response differed between Tofino and the southwestern shelf off Vancouver Island, with Tofino experiencing a forced solitary wave (meteotsunami) and the shelf displaying classical standing-wave behavior. A numerical model accurately replicated the observed meteotsunami and standing-wave peaks.

Summary: The Quaternary record of the US Mid-Atlantic coastal system has been studied using AAR methods to analyze shoreline deposits, determining the ages of mollusks through various techniques and investigating related geological features. The results reveal the impact of sea level history and crustal dynamics during the Pleistocene epoch on the region, supporting current hypotheses about relative sea level history and crustal dynamics.

Summary: This paper examines the vulnerability of Dubai and Abu Dhabi to climate change effects, highlighting the need for adaptation strategies such as decentralizing populations to inland areas. Increased heat stress and sea-level rise pose significant threats to these coastal cities, urging regional planning responses to mitigate these risks.

Summary: This study presents new evidence about the 8.2 ka climate event based on a high-resolution relative sea-level record from Scotland. The results indicate a significant change in sea-level rise rates before the event, which is likely attributed to the partial melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the collapse of the Hudson Bay Ice Saddle, leading to substantial freshwater input into the North Atlantic and a subsequent shift in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Summary: The study indicates that the Stuttgart Formation in the Central European Basin contains relics of Triassic volcanic detritus, with some deposition ages dating back to around 231 million years ago. These volcanic detritus were likely transported by monsoonal circulations from volcanic centers of the NW Tethys to the Central European Basin and were found in the Stuttgart Formation.
