Validation of Total Mercury in Marine Sediment and Biological Samples, Using Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
A method for the measurement of total mercury (T-Hg) in environmental samples using
cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS) has been validated yielding a dynamic range
(0.04–10.00 g/kg) and high certified ...
Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral‐dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within ...
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ...
Attenuation of wave energy due to mangrove vegetation off Mumbai, India
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Coastal regions of India are prone to sea level rise, cyclones, storm surges, and human-induced activities, resulting in flood, erosion, and inundation, and some of these impacts could be attributed to climate change. ...
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 ...
