Muscat: An Omani researcher took part in an international peer-reviewed study published on the European specialized EGU platform in collaboration with three prominent European universities: Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Utrecht University, and Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. This represents a scientific achievement that demonstrates the Sultanate of Oman's dedication to advancing research and development.
Najat Al Fadhili, an engineer and researcher from the Industrial Innovation Academy, took part in a scientific study that investigated the reaction of ancient marine creatures—some 60 million years ago—to environmental changes at the Saywan geological site in the Sultanate of Oman, one of the most notable geological sites with great scientific value.
This participation is part of the Academy's efforts to enhance the scientific research environment and publish peer-reviewed scientific articles in order to reinforce the ideas of innovation and environmental sustainability and fulfill the goals of Oman Vision 2040.
This research helps to improve our knowledge of the influence of climate change on delicate marine ecosystems. In addition to promoting a knowledge-based economy by boosting national capabilities in earth and climate sciences, the Industrial Innovation Academy emphasizes that this form of research is not just an academic contribution, but also a strategic pillar for supporting resource sustainability, achieving sustainable development goals, and providing a national model for investing in scientific knowledge.
