Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Such flood-tide dominance of the thalweg is unusual and likely reflects the absence of river discharge. Evidence of significant inverse estuarine circulation (seaward flow of a brine along the embayment floor) is mostly absent in spite of the landward increase of salinity, where concentrations reach more than double normal seawater salinity in the Inner Lagoon. …”

Prisoners’ Radio by Attar, Dalia

“…Overall, results from MFA covering 10 Lebanese mainstream media outlets, 10 alternative media outlets in the MENA region and nine international prisoners’ radio programs (29 in total) show that most of the Lebanese news outlets provided predominantly positive stories endorsing the measures taken by authorities to combat Covid-19 in prisons while alternative media in the MENA region and international prisoners’ radio presented negative stories highlighting the lack of sufficient measures, reinforcing the need to do more to combat healthcare risks and increased isolation of prisoners. On the other hand, results from 10 in-depth interviews revealed the benefits of alternative media and highlighted the importance of alternative media production in keeping people behind bars informed and connected to the outside world e specially during a crisis like Covid-19 when prisoners’ isolation was heightened due to strict lockdown measures. …”
