(
cambridge university press
, 2010 , Article)
Deep-core and surface samples collected from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi were subjected to a multi-proxy study, including petrographic, geochemical and spectroscopic analyses. The sediments studied are composed of ...
Phytoplankton along the coastal shelf of an oligotrophic hypersaline environment in a semi-enclosed marginal sea: Qatar (Arabian Gulf)
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a concentration), primary production, abundance, species diversity and species groupings were measured in the coastal waters surrounding Qatar (Arabian Gulf) at 13 stations in February ...
Sources of primary production supporting food webs in an arid coastal embayment
(
Springer Nature
, 2012 , Article)
Penaeid shrimp can be useful ecological indicators of linkages between shallow tropical coastal habitats, acting as integrators of carbon and nitrogen sources due to their generalist feeding habits and their mobility between ...

, 2010 , Article)
Detailed petrographic studies of Recent dolomites from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi using SEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses indicate that most of the dolomite started to form in " micro-niches" (i.e. small ...
Physico-chemical characteristics of oil produced from seeds of some date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) .
(2015 , Article)
The oil content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with some physico-chemical properties and nutrients were investigated in oil produced from seeds of six important date palm cultivars and one seed strain present in ...
Baseline concentrations of mercury species within sediments from Qatar's coastal marine zone
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Baseline concentration of total mercury (THg), organic extractable mercury and methylmercury (CH3Hg) concentrations in sediments from the northeastern, eastern and southeastern parts of the Arabian Gulf were assessed. ...
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 ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
