Field and laboratory investigation of tarmat deposits found on Ras Rakan Island and northern beaches of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Beaches of Ras Rakan Island, located off the northern tip of Qatar, are extensively contaminated by highly weathered tarmat deposits. The focus of this study is to determine the possible source of the ...
Factors influencing the vertical distribution of microplastics in the beach sediments around the Ras Rakan Island, Qatar
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental problem, particularly in the marine environment, and nations are concerned about this issue. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the vertical ...
Spatial variability of summer hydrography in the central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf is a very significant ocean body, which hosts more than 55% of the oil reserves of the world and produces about 30% of the total production, and thus, it is likely to face high risk and adverse problems ...
Distribution and environmental geochemical indices of mercury in tar contaminated beaches along the coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The current study aimed to gauge total mercury (THg) concentration and the environmental geochemical indices in tarmat contaminated sediments and test their presence in targeted coastal species. Layers of hard asphalt-like ...
Climatology and variability of wind speeds along the southwest coast of India derived from Climate Forecast System Reanalysis winds
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Wind climate along the southwest coast of India (Kerala coast) has been analysed using 41 years of Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) winds to delineate long-term trends and variability. The study reveals significant ...
A multiscale ocean modelling system for the central Arabian/Persian Gulf: From regional to structure scale circulation patterns
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The Arabian/Persian Gulf (hereafter, the “Gulf”) is one the busiest and fastest changing sea in the World. Its circulation is primarily driven by the surface water inflow from the Sea of Oman and density-driven and wind-driven ...
Enhancing subsea asset performance: Investigating the biomimetic functionality of the Mushroom Reef design in hydrodynamics, stability, and sedimentation
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, laboratory and in situ experiments were performed to assess the stability of the Mushroom Forest Artificial Reef (MFAR) against the hydrodynamic forces of waves and currents and its functionality to avoid ...
Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf)
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) were sampled in December 2018 and May 2019 in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf. pCO2, pH and CO32− were calculated from DIC and TA. ...
Climate, trends and variability of extreme winds along the southwest coast of India
(
Wiley
, 2023 , Article)
The extreme wind climate and its trends and variability of the southwest coast of India, particularly the Kerala coast, are investigated using hourly reanalysis wind speeds for the period 1979–2021. The observed maximum ...
