Aeolian dust is an essential source of growth-limiting nutrients for marine phytoplankton.
Despite being at the core of the Global Dust Belt, the response of the Arabian Gulf …

Kuwait, which is located in the northwestern Arabian Gulf, has experienced several
incidences of marine life mortality during the past two decades. Mortalities included pelagic …

Marine causeways are becoming more common in many coastal regions to improve
vehicular transportation and social integration across landscapes segmented by bays and …

The microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning through interactions
among individuals and taxonomic groups in a highly dynamic marine ecosystem. The …

The marine waters of Kuwait are highly dynamic and strongly influenced by extreme
environmental conditions and high levels of anthropogenic activities. This study explored the …

Environmental vicissitudes cause short-term variability in plankton dynamics. The effect
would be more pronounced in shallow, semi-enclosed tidal coastal systems. Here, we …

A series of flash floods that swamped urban drainage systems in Kuwait in November–
December 2018 drastically altered coastal hydrography. The phytoplankton responded …

Sedimentary processes are expected to play a crucial role in macronutrient cycling of the
shallow Arabian Gulf. To investigate this aspect, sediment cores were collected from the …

Continuous measurements of hydrographic, hydrodynamic, and water quality showed
marked diurnal, tidal, and seasonal variabilities in Kuwait Bay, a stressed coastal system in …

In this study, we investigated the relationship between environmental parameters (water and
sediment) and benthic foraminiferal assemblages found in nearshore siliciclastic sediment …
