Two bits from the EEF lists One item discussed recently is the apparent dessication of Lake Moeris in the Fayum during Old Kingdom times, related, of course, to the severe drought that occurred at that time (see this post). Here's a freely accessible paper on the general chronology of climate change in Egypt and Northern Sudan:

Recent environmental change and prehistoric human activity in Egypt and Northern Sudan. Quarternary Science Reviews (QSR) 23 (2004) pp. 561-580. Oxford 2003. (HT Brigitte Goede)

Also, the KV63 diary has been updated.
