The Southern reach trilogy by Jeff vandemeer. You follow the monitorings and expeditions into an anomolous area known as area x. Many deem the first book ‘annihilation’ to be the best, but the second book in the series titled ‘Authority’ has strong control vibes as it’s set entirely in the southern reach offices.
Our wives under the sea, by julia arnfield. When miri’s wife does not return from a deep sea exploration, she presumes her dead. Only months later does she return, only something has changed. Keep in mind this is slightly less focused on the cosmic horror and eldritchness, and is more of a story of love and a meditation on grief.
