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 ...
Remotely induced storm effects on the coastal flooding along the southwest coast of India
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The southwest coast of India is exposed to long-period swells propagated from the South Indian Ocean during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Although swells from the Southern Ocean and Atlantic Ocean were identified in the ...
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. ...
Retrieval of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Arabian Gulf water of arid region by Sentinel-2 data
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in water increases temperature and turbidity, limits the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and reduces biologically available oxygen. It is important to study SSC in the coastal waters ...
Are mangroves in arid environments isolated systems? Life-history and evidence of dietary contribution from inwelling in a mangrove-resident shrimp species
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf represents one of the more northerly extremes of mangrove distribution in the Indo-Pacific, and is populated only by Avicennia marina, due to its tolerance of high salinity and wide temperature extremes. ...
Evaluation of Nitrogen and Water Management Strategies to Optimize Yield in Open Field Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Production
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Countries in arid climates, such as Qatar, require efficient water-saving strategies and nitrogen treatment for vegetable production. Vegetable importation constituted approximately USD 352 million of Qatar’s 2019 GDP; ...
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 ...
Future Mangrove Carbon Storage Under Climate Change and Deforestation
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Article)
Mangroves are important sinks of organic carbon (C) and there is significant interest in their use for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Adverse impacts on organic carbon storage potential from future climate change and ...
Towards spatial management of fisheries in the Gulf: Benthic diversity, habitat and fish distributions from Qatari waters
(
Oxford University Press
, 2018 , Article)
As with many other regions in the world, more complete information on the distribution of marine habitats in the Gulf is required to inform environmental policy, and spatial management of fisheries resources will require ...
An Equatorial Pacific rain event: influence on the distribution of iron and hydrogen peroxide in surface waters
(
Elsevier
, 2001 , Article)
The wet deposition of iron and peroxides was monitored during an intense rain squall in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Iron and hydrogen peroxide were determined at sea using adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (ACSV) ...
