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 ...
Mercury accumulation in Lethrinus nebulosus from the marine waters of the Qatar EEZ
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) were recorded in the commercial demersal fish Lethrinus
nebulosus, caught from six locations in Qatar EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone). Concentrations of THg decreased
in the ...
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 ...
Target gastropods for standardizing the monitoring of tar mat contamination in the Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study proposes a standardization process for the monitoring the level of tar mat contamination in the Arabian Gulf. In the study, we selected target gastropod species and evaluated the ecological and ecotoxicological ...
Geochemical composition of dust from Qatar peninsula
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Atmospheric dust samples have been collected from different areas in Qatar and analyzed for major and trace element composition. This region of the Arabian Gulf represents an area largely affected by dust from natural and ...
Seasonal variability of hydrography off the east coast of Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article)
Seasonal variability of hydrography along a nearshore-offshore transect in the eastern part of the EEZ of Qatar has been analyzed using in situ measurements carried out during 5 different months. The study reveals distinct ...
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 ...
Baseline concentrations and distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in surface sediments from the Qatar marine environment
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Coastal sediments in marine waters of Qatar have the potential of being contaminated by Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to extensive petroleum exploration and transportation activities within Qatar's ...
Geochemical composition of Aeolian dust and surface deposits from the Qatar Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The trace metal geochemistry of atmospheric dust and terrestrial surface particles were studied on the Qatar Peninsula from February 2014 to November 2015. We included samples of the mega dust-storm event on 01–02 ...
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 ...
