Recent History: Two fundamental advances in zoogeography in recent history years have come from different approaches—one from the application of physics to problems of the history of the earth's crust, the other from a study of the fauna of islands.

Gustav IV remains one of the most controversial figures in Swedish history. His enemies after 1809 condemned him as impractical, arrogant, inflexible, and dangerously fanatic.

One branch of physical oceanography that seems to be emerging as a separate discipline is the air-sea interaction which has become the meeting ground of the meteorologist and oceanographer.
