About
Dr. Maryam R. Al Shehhi is a leading researcher in environmental remote sensing and ocean optics, with a focus on improving water quality monitoring in arid and turbid coastal environments. Her work addresses the critical challenge of accurately retrieving chlorophyll-a concentrations from satellite imagery in dust-laden, sediment-rich waters—a task that standard atmospheric correction algorithms often fail to perform. Her most-cited paper, "Improved atmospheric correction and chlorophyll-a remote sensing models for turbid waters in a dusty environment" (2017, 34 citations), introduces novel algorithms that correct for aerosol interference and suspended sediment, significantly enhancing the reliability of satellite-derived data in regions like the Arabian Gulf. This contribution has direct implications for coastal management, algal bloom detection, and climate change impact assessments. Dr. Al Shehhi’s research bridges the gap between theoretical remote sensing and practical environmental monitoring, offering robust tools for scientists and policymakers in water-scarce, dust-prone regions. Her work is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and real-world applicability, making her a key figure in advancing the use of Earth observation for sustainable water resource management in challenging environments.
