    • Characterizing fracture toughness using machine learning 

      Alipour, M.; Esatyana, E.; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, F. N.; Al-Kuwari, H. A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      The existing models for fracture toughness characterization based on nanoindentations that account for the fracture length are limited to simple (ideal) geometries that are absent in shales. The present study proposes two ...

    • Comprehensive pore size characterization of Midra shale 

      Alessa, S.; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, F. N.; Al-Kuwari, H. A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      Although the Middle East's carbonate reservoirs were the first and most studied rocks in the world, Middle Eastern shale reservoirs are still poorly understood compared with other unconventional formations in the US. We ...

    • Microbially influenced formation of anhydrite at low temperature 

      Al Disi, Zulfa Ali; Sadooni, Fadhil; Al-Kuwari, Hamad Al Saad; Bontognali, Tomaso R.R. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2023 , Article)
      Calcium sulfate minerals are abundant in nature – on Earth and on Mars – and important in several fields of material sciences. With respect to gypsum and bassanite, anhydrite represents the anhydrous crystalline phase in ...

    • Sentinel-2 image transformation methods for mapping oil spill – A case study with Wakashio oil spill in the Indian Ocean, off Mauritius 

      Rajendran, Sankaran; Vethamony, Ponnumony; Sadooni, Fadhil N.; Al-Kuwari, Hamad Al Saad; Al-Khayat, Jassim A.; ... more authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      Although several indices have been constructed and available at the Index database (IDB) for Sentinel-2 satellite to map and study several earth resources, no indices have been developed to map oil spill. We constructed ...
