Yas SeaWorld Science Talk : Physical Oceanography of the Gulf

This insightful talk will feature two distinguished oceanographers, Dr. Geórgenes Cavalcante and Dr. Zouhair Lachkar, who will guide us through the exceptional environmental conditions of the Arabian Gulf. They will explore the hydrodynamics of the Gulf and discuss extreme physical properties such as high temperatures and salinity, as well as the processes driving these characteristics. Additionally, the speakers will delve into how climate change is reshaping the Gulf’s marine environment and what the future may hold for its waters.

Entrance is free, but spots are limited—registration is required. Please register using the link below:
