The Indigenous Qatari Marine Copepod, Euterpina Acutifrons: A Promising Marine Invertebrate Model Organism for Aquatic Eco-Toxicological Studies
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
An important objective of aquatic toxicological assessments is to evaluate the effects of water-borne toxic compounds on organisms which play a crucial role in aquatic communities. In marine ecosystems, copepods have a ...
Prospects for climate-scale regional numerical modelling for the Arabian Gulf and Qatar's marine region
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Physical oceanographic studies at the Environmental Science Center (ESC) entail observational and numerical aspects. The main objective of observational studies is to build a reference time series for Qatar's marine exclusive ...
Utilization of Two Microalgae Species, Synechococcus sp. and Cheatoceros sp., for Aquatic Toxicity Assessments in the Qatari Marine Environmen
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgal bioassays are currently used worldwide to help assess the impacts of contaminants on aquatic ecosystems. Algae are particularly important to such assessments because they represent the basic trophic level of the ...

(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Heavy metals pollution in marine environments has become a worldwide problem with the fast industrial development in the east coastal region of Qatar, especially in the Doha bay area. Heavy metals are expected to be presented ...
Observations of hydrographic properties, dissolved oxygen (DO) and chlorophyll-A (Chl-a) (phytoplankton biomass) within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Qatar (central Arabian Gulf)
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In situ observations of physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the Qatari water column were conducted to understand the temporal (seasonal) and spatial (regional) variability in the vertical and horizontal ...
Investigation of long-term, basin-scale thermohaline trends in Qatar's marine region in response to environmental and climatic change
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The Arabian Gulf, an economically and geopolitically important marine area, is a semi-enclosed and shallow basin with an average depth 36 m. The Gulf is one of the seasonally warmest (i.e., in summer) and most saline marine ...
How Efficient Would Demand-Based Water Strategies Be for Qatar?
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is a water scarce country that heavily relies on seawater desalination. Multiple studies have concluded the need for a more resilient water planning through efficient "demand control" strategies. This study is among ...
