Albian sea-level cycles in Oman: the ‘Rosetta Stone’ approach [PDF]

GeoArabia, 2004
ABSTRACT The Albian Nahr Umr Formation of Oman (bounded by the Shu’aiba and Natih formations) recorded high-, intermediate, and low-amplitude regressive-transgressive events. In order to reconstruct these sea-level oscillations in a semi-quantitative manner, six measured sections from different bathymetric positions were investigated ...

Spatiotemporal scales of mode water transformation in the Sea of Oman [PDF]

Ocean Science
Abstract. In the Sea of Oman, mode water forms at the surface and is trapped under a warm stratified layer in summer. This capped and well-mixed oxygenated layer decouples the oxygen minimum zone from ocean surface processes. It also provides a space for remineralisation, reducing oxygen demand in the oxygen minimum zone.

Intensification Trend and Mechanisms of Oman Upwelling During 1993–2018

Remote Sensing
The long-term trend of coastal upwelling under global warming has been a research focus in recent years. Based on datasets including sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface wind, air–sea heat fluxes, ocean currents, and sea level pressure, this study ...

The Effects of Oman Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies in Autumn and Winter Precipitation of Southeast Coasts of Iran [PDF]

نشریه جغرافیا و برنامه‌ریزی, 2011
The sea surface temperature (SST) variations play a very important role in the creation and maintenance of climatological and oceanographic processes such as heavy precipitation and subsequent floods, large-scale sea level fluctuations and tropical ...

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Phantom citations: An empirical study of non‐existent and unverifiable references in scholarly literature

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The integrity of scholarly communication depends critically on the accuracy and verifiability of cited references. Citations enable readers to trace prior work, assess evidence, and situate new contributions within the existing literature. However, concerns have emerged regarding the presence of references in published papers that cannot be ...

Satellite altimetry reveals 6-month seasonal phase difference and post-2000 IOD linkages in Arabian–Oman Gulf sea level communication

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
The major settlements along the coastal areas of the Arabian and the Oman Gulf are vulnerable to sea level rise. Therefore, studying sea level variability cannot only assist in understanding the local ocean dynamics but also provide valuable insight that

Improving the Modeling of Sea Surface Currents in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea Using Data Assimilation of Satellite Altimetry and Hydrographic Observations

Remote Sensing, 2022
Sea surface currents are often modeled using numerical models without adequately addressing the issue of model calibration at the regional scale. The aim of this study is to calibrate the MIKE 21 numerical ocean model for the Persian Gulf and the Oman ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Complex Firms, Controversial Outcomes: Global Evidence on ESG Failures and Remedies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether business complexity increases firms' exposure to negative environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes, specifically ESG controversies, using a global panel of firms from 37 countries over the period 2002–2021.
