Reflectance spectroscopy and ASTER mapping of aeolian dunes of Shaqra and Tharmada Provinces, Saudi Arabia: Field validation and laboratory confirmation
(
Taylor and Francis Group
, 2022 , Article)
Spatial variability of grain sizes and mapping of aeolian dunes is important to study the sand erosion, transport, and dune movement and to understand the dune encroachment and land degradation. This study examines the ...
Long-Term Variability of Aerosol Concentrations and Optical Properties over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in South Asia
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Emissions of atmospheric pollutants are rapidly increasing over South Asia. A greater understanding of seasonal variability in aerosol concentrations over South Asia is a scientific challenge and has consequences due to a ...

(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The synthetic industry has destroyed the life span of human beings due to environmental pollution. The discharged organic pollutants can be degraded by many physicochemical techniques, among them the heterogeneous ...
Wrf-chem simulation for modeling seasonal variations and distributions of aerosol pollutants over the middle east
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Atmospheric aerosols and dust have become a challenge for urban air quality. The pre-sented study quantified seasonal spatio-temporal variations of aerosols, tropospheric ozone, and dust over the Middle East (ME) for the ...
Human health risks associated with trace metals in dust of residential arid areas
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Composite dust samples were collected on a monthly basis over a full year from Doha, Qatar. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) was used for the determination of total concentrations of Na, K, Mg, Ca, Li, ...

, 2021 , Article)
As a tree of considerable importance in arid regions—date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. survival in contaminated areas of Sfax city has drawn our attention. Leaf samples of the plants grown in the study area showed high ...
Long-term assessment of onshore and offshore wind energy potentials of Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon in the atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is a matter of concern, especially in Qatar, where fossil ...
