The publication of this book is of great importance to all those interested and knowledgeable in the field. Climate change leads to the occurrence of major environmental hazards that must be reduced by estimating the extent of climate change and developing appropriate solutions to mitigate those effects. Climate changes are produced indirectly as a result of human activities with uncalculated consequences. The process of climate change is always accompanied by catastrophic environmental problems such as global warming, high temperatures, storms, hurricanes, floods, desertification processes, air pollution, and the extinction of many types and forms of animals and plants. The Gulf countries are located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula where the crude oil is extracted in several fields. The states suffer from many environmental problems as a result of its geographical location, global climate change, and also from oil extraction operations. The problems include high temperatures, induced earthquakes, and pollution in the soil and marine coast, as well as desertification processes, sand dunes movement, and other environmental problems. Earthquakes are also recorded from and near the oil fields, indicating the link between the oil extraction process and the occurrence of earthquakes. Indeed, the environmental studies published in the Gulf state are very few and do not meet the need of the scientific community in region which need more important environmental publications that help in the great and rapid urban developments in the area. 0aGeophysics.969226 0aNatural disasters.957530 0aGeotechnical engineering.96638814aGeophysics.96922624aNatural Hazards.97061224aGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.9663891 aAbd el-aal, Abd el-aziz Khairy.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9885501 aAl-Enezi, Abdullah.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9885511 aKaram, Qusaie E.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9885522 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303171835908iPrinted edition:z978303171837308iPrinted edition:z9783031718380 0aAdvances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research,x2213-6959 ;v5497680040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-71836-6  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SXEE  c65490d65490
