Contaminant metals in costal marine sediment along the Doha Bay, Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Heavy metals pollution in marine environments has become a worldwide problem with the fast industrial development in the east coastal region of Qatar, especially in the Doha bay area. Heavy metals are expected to be presented ...
Epibenthic assemblages on vertical artificial substrates: recruitment and succession patterns in offshore Qatari waters
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Artificial structures get introduced into the marine environment by accident (e.g., shipwrecks) or intentionally, for logistical (i.e., coastal protection), industrial (i.e., oil exploitation) or biological habitat enhancement ...
Uncovering responses of zooplankton community to CO2 acidification in Qatar coastal waters
(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The combustion of fossil fuels is pushing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to unprecedented levels. This rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing global changes, with noticeable increases in temperature, ...
Dangerous anthropogenic climate change. Are we closer than we think? A 2016 update
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this presentation, I will outline the fundamentals of climate change science with respect to 'real-world' climate observations, and evidence from the Earth's paleoclimate (climate history) record. In particular, I will ...
Geographical distribution of air pollution in Doha Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Urban air pollution is an inevitable consequence of the urbanization representing a growing concern to scientists, policymakers and an increasing fraction of the population. Air pollution is an acute problem especially in ...
Observations of hydrographic properties, dissolved oxygen (DO) and chlorophyll-A (Chl-a) (phytoplankton biomass) within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Qatar (central Arabian Gulf)
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In situ observations of physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the Qatari water column were conducted to understand the temporal (seasonal) and spatial (regional) variability in the vertical and horizontal ...
Geochemical composition of dust from Qatar peninsula
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Atmospheric dust samples have been collected from different areas in Qatar and analyzed for major and trace element composition. This region of the Arabian Gulf represents an area largely affected by dust from natural and ...
Marine collection in Qatar - basis for biodiversity management
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Biological Collections, which deal directly with identifying and documenting biodiversity, have a major role in assisting biodiversity management. They form the basis for research, documenting flora and fauna and creating ...
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine environment of Qatar's exclusive economic zone
(
Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Microplastics are now firmly recognized as a ubiquitous and growing global threat to marine biota, as well as their associated ecology and habitats. The prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters within Qatar’s ...
Prospects for climate-scale regional numerical modelling for the Arabian Gulf and Qatar's marine region
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Physical oceanographic studies at the Environmental Science Center (ESC) entail observational and numerical aspects. The main objective of observational studies is to build a reference time series for Qatar's marine exclusive ...
