The oceanographic data collected along a transect in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during late summer (September 2014) and winter (January 2015) have been analyzed to investigate the spatial and temporal ...

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 ...

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 ...

The floating marine debris (FMD) and the associated rafting communities are one of the major stressors to ecosystem services, global biodiversity, economy, and human health. In this study, assemblages of encrusting organisms ...

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 ...

Oxide nanoparticles are among the most used nanomaterials and have received considerable attention over their potential ecological effects. Increasing investigations report toxicity of certain oxide nanoparticles, however, ...

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 ...

This research work aims at investigating the influence of a fixed content of silicon nitride (Si3N4) and varied contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the physical and mechanical properties of Al-Si3N4-GNPs composites. ...

Urban pollution has different forms; one of them is air pollution by natural sources such as dust storms or by anthropogenic sources such as traffic, whereas both are considered among the most risky environmental problems ...

This work addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by radio-frequency ...
