I am a climate scientist, focused on paleoclimate, sea level change and the evolution of Quaternary glaciations.
I reconstruct ice sheets using glacial isostatic adjustment, as well as ice sheet modelling. In Japan but have been pretty much everywhere.

This study uses the PaleoMIST topography reconstruction, which was validated with offshore sediment cores that contain terrestrial peats. This area had spatially variable sea level changes during the deglaciation due to its proximity in the intermediate field of the ice sheets. 2/4
The result is that the coastal wetland methane emissions would have peaked between 10 and 15 thousand years ago, the period when much of the Beringian shelf was being flooded. This is more consistent with ice core records than previous estimates. 3/4
