Remote Sensing of Geomorphology and Facies Patterns on a Modern Carbonate Ramp (arabian Gulf, Dubai, U.a.e.)
The occurrence of power law relationships in the spatial distribution of sedimentary lithotopes has been identified in both modern and ancient carbonate depositional bodies. In this study, facies patterns and their spatial relationships are investigated quantitatively in an Arabian Gulf shallow subtidal carbonate ramp setting, using a synergy of IKONOS satellite imagery and vessel-based acousti...
متن کاملMixing and flushing in the Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf)
[1] The assimilative capacities of estuaries and coastal seas for effluent discharges are predominantly determined by the rates at which pollutant‐bearing effluents are first dispersed and then flushed from the coastal region into the open ocean. The dispersion coefficients and flushing, as measured by the water residence time in the Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf), were investigated using the thre...
متن کاملNeogene stratigraphic development of the Arabian (Persian) Gulf
APPROACH In July-August 1998 aboard the USNS Bowditch, we collected sediment cores, CTDs and XBTs, 3.5 kHz subbottom profiles, and high-resolution 48-channel seismic profiles. This survey covered as much of the Gulf as possible given the restrictions that reefs, oil fields and territorial limits have on ship operations. The approach was to seismically map Neogene stratigraphy and tie this struc...
متن کاملPenicillin allergy evaluation: experience from a drug allergy clinic in an Arabian Gulf Country, Kuwait
BACKGROUND Hypersensitivity to penicillin has been studied worldwide, but data regarding patterns of sensitization in Arabian Gulf countries are scarce. OBJECTIVE To describe the patterns of penicillin hypersensitivity during a 6-year study in Kuwait in terms of demographics, type of the culprit drug, in vivo and in vitro allergy testing. METHODS One hundred and twenty-four patients referre...
متن کاملUpper Cretaceous Petroleum System of Northwestern Persian Gulf
Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...
