New paper on CO2 concentrations over the #MiddleEast for the period 2014–2023 derived from #OCO2 & #OCO3: 1- Increasing trends at a higher rate than the global average. 2- CO2 data used to derive CMIP6 models overestimate CO2 @theAGU @EGU_Atmos @CO2_earth

In this work @ENGEOS_KU @KhalifaUni we demonstrated how #SAR imagery and machine learning can be used to detect buried archaeological sites in desert regions and inform on potential areas for future excavation #SaruqAlHadid #Dubai @drdianafrancis @theAGU https://t.co/Nlv7FLv7Ll

In addition to the previously known katabatic winds, a main driver for large openings of the TNB Polynya in #Antarctica is warm & moist air masses more details: https://t.co/JSthJnbD4c

@ENGEOS_KU team at @KhalifaUni is conducting a dedicated experiment in the Empty Quarter Desert called #WISE (WInd-blown Sand Experiment) to learn more about this. #WISE is featured in @cnni Transformers: https://t.co/k1a3tSy0Dr
Special thanks to our sponsors @FANRUAE

What are atmospheric rivers and how they affect weather patterns? Floods in #california, dust in #europe, ice melt in #polarregions...It was my pleasure to talk about this topic @DubaiEye1038FM radio with @georgiatolley in #theagenda @ENGEOS_KU @KhalifaUni https://t.co/eKt3NFdqHJ

Our work on #duststorms is being featured on @cnni
@ENGEOS_KU @KhalifaUni is currently conducting a major experiment #WISE to study dust activity in #EmptyQuarterDesert #UAE to better forecast dust storms & their impact @DustStormNews @firstmove @CNN @theAGU @questCNN @EGU_Atmos

Tune in this Sunday at 9:30am HKT on @cnni as CNN spotlights the changemakers at the frontline of extreme weather in a 30-minute special episode of ‘Transformers’.

What are the major weather events near the Empty Quarter Desert? In our latest paper in @FrontiersIn we highlight the occurrence of frequent #duststorms radiation #fog & the passage of #coldfronts: https://t.co/B0fMVv92K8

Atmospheric Rivers are found to drive exceptional dust transport toward Europe with impact on snow darkening and melt. Check out these new scientific findings published in @ElsevierNews @KhalifaUni @EuroGeosciences @EGU_TC @theAGU @AGU_Cryo @Dust_Barcelona https://t.co/HdHjpyCyhy
