Tidal dynamics and mangrove carbon sequestration during the Oligo–Miocene in the South China Sea
Nature Communications, 2017 Mangroves are important carbon-rich biomes, but their long-term impact on the global carbon cycle is relatively unknown. Here, the authors show that the Oligo–Miocene mangroves in the South China Sea stored in excess of 4,000 Gt, demonstrating the long ...

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.
