Assessment of Organic and Inorganic Pollutants Along The Qatari Coast
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Qatar sits in the middle of the world's most important hydrocarbon producing areas where significant regional refining activity and shipping traffic take place. In addition to significant local coastline, development ... -
Towards Sustainable Management of Coastal and Offshore Islands in Arabian Gulf Typology: Sensitivity Analysis, Ecological Risk Assessment of Halul and Al-Alyia Islands
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)The great majority of marine ecosystems in Qatar are in fast decline and nearing collapse, where most ecosystem has lost the biological and economic functionality. Aiming to support the decision makers in the management ... -
Distribution, characterization and weathering of tarmats along the west coast of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Oil residue in the form of tarmat (TM) deposited on the coast of Arabian Gulf countries is a major environmental concern. In this study, the current TM pollution trend along the west coast of Qatar has been assessed and ... -
Surface waves generated by shamal and easterly winds off Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Waves in the Arabian Gulf are primarily controlled by the regional winds, for example, shamal winds during winter and early summer. Though Gulf wave characteristics have been heavily utilized for the design of offshore ... -
Preliminary Investigation of Heavy Metals in Deposited Dust on Roadside Sidr Leaves
