The aim of the group is to undertake fundamental and applied research to advance Environmental Resources Conservation & Protection, with special focus on the UAE. The research interests of the group lie in the broad areas of monitoring, conservation, and management of environmental resources through water and wastewater treatment and reuse, resource recovery from waste materials, as well as assessment and mitigation of the pollution impacts on the environment. The interests also cover human health and environmental risk assessment, air quality monitoring and assessment, hazard mapping, climate change mitigation, and application of satellite and information technologies.
Objectives:
- Develop innovative methods and technologies for environmental resources management and pollution control.
- Develop and employ technologies and methods towards the advancement of environmental bioscience and environmental protection.
- Establish integrated geo-spatial framework for mapping and modeling environmental resources and their conservation using advanced GIS and remote sensing methods.
