Trace element composition of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter samples from the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone of the Arabian Gulf: the role of atmospheric dust
(
Copernicus Publications
, 2020 , Article)
We analyzed net-tow samples of natural assemblages
of plankton, and associated particulate matter, from
the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in the Arabian
Gulf. Size-fractionated suspended particles were ...
Factors influencing the vertical distribution of microplastics in the beach sediments around the Ras Rakan Island, Qatar
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental problem, particularly in the marine environment, and nations are concerned about this issue. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the vertical ...
Spatial variability of summer hydrography in the central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf is a very significant ocean body, which hosts more than 55% of the oil reserves of the world and produces about 30% of the total production, and thus, it is likely to face high risk and adverse problems ...
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ...

(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Remote sensing of spectrally active Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in the gulf water of an arid region is important to understand the spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton and biomass in the water. This study characterizes ...
Physical drivers of chlorophyll and nutrients variability in the Southern-Central Arabian Gulf
(
Academic Press
, 2023 , Article)
The southern-central Arabian Gulf demonstrates a poor understanding of nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in physical-biogeochemical settings. Here, using data of chlorophyll, nutrients and hydrographic parameters collected ...
Methylmercury bioaccumulation among different food chain levels in the EEZ of Qatar (Arabian Gulf)
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in three different species from different trophic levels with different amounts of Hg exposures were determined for the first time in the EEZ of Qatar. Sampling was conducted during ...
Retrieval of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Arabian Gulf water of arid region by Sentinel-2 data
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in water increases temperature and turbidity, limits the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and reduces biologically available oxygen. It is important to study SSC in the coastal waters ...
