Extreme value analysis of wave climate around Farasan Islands, southern Red Sea
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The study investigates extreme value analysis of wave climate around the Farasan islands’ protected coastal zone in the southern Red Sea. It provides an overall idea of the extreme wave conditions in the southern Red Sea, ...
Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic (MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the ...
Sources, spatial distribution and characteristics of marine litter along the west coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The spatial distribution, sources and characteristics of marine litter (ML) from 36 locations spread over 12 beaches along the west coast of Qatar have been assessed. A total of 2376 ML items with varying sizes were found ...
Faunal mediated carbon export from mangroves in an arid area
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The outwelling paradigm argues that mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands export much excess production to downstream marine systems. However, outwelling is difficult to quantify and currently 40–50% of fixed carbon is unaccounted ...
Spatial distribution, structural characterization and weathering of tarmats along the west coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Oil pollution resulting from natural and anthropogenic activities in the Arabian Gulf as well as oil residue in the form of tarmat (TM) deposited on the coast is a major environmental concern. The spatial distribution, ...
Mangrove carbon stocks and biomass partitioning in an extreme environment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Global inventories that show mangrove forests have rich carbon stores currently lack data from arid areas where carbon stocks may be functionally impoverished relative to humid regions. We quantified total carbon stocks ...
New insights about the introduction of the Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, into the North East Atlantic from Asia based on a highly polymorphic mitochondrial region
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
It is commonly presumed that the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata was introduced into the North East (NE) Atlantic from Asia. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a highly polymorphic non-coding mitochondrial ...
Modern problems in marine biodiversity records-illustrated by the case of the Caribbean Pelia mutica (Gibbes, 1850) confirmed in Brazil
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2016 , Article)
This report confirms the presence of Pelia mutica in Brazil, extending its range by approximately 4000 km south to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean from its most southerly recorded distribution. The presence of this small ...
Short-term behavioural responses to thermal stress by hawksbill turtles in the Arabian region
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We present a previously unrecorded short-term behavioural response by hawksbill sea turtles to elevated sea surface temperatures in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Surface waters typically exceed 30°C for sustained periods during ...
Identification of Important Sea Turtle Areas (ITAs) for hawksbill turtles in the Arabian Region
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We present the first data on hawksbill turtle post-nesting migrations and behaviour in the Arabian region. Tracks from 90 post-nesting turtles (65 in the Gulf and 25 from Oman) revealed that hawksbills in the Arabian region ...
