Phytoremediation for Arsenic-Contaminated Gold Mine Waste
Arsenic (As)-contaminated gold mine waste is a global problem and poses a significant risk to the ecosystem and community (e.g., carcinogenic, toxicity). Research is investigating environmentally sustainable techniques to remediate As-rich mine waste. Biological techniques involving plants (phytoremediation) and soil amendments have been studied to bioaccumulate As from soil (phytoextraction) or stabilise As in the rhizosphere (phytostabilisation).

Muddy Waters Mapping Using Machine Learning
The quality of drinking water is a critical factor for public health and the environment. Inland drinking water reservoirs are essential sources of freshwater supply for many communities around the world. However, these reservoirs are susceptible to various forms of contamination, including the presence of muddy water, which can pose significant challenges for water treatment facilities and lead to serious health risks for consumers. In addition, such reservoirs are also used for recreational purposes which supports the local economy.

Flood Segmentation in Post-Disaster High Resolution Aerial Images
Floods are the most frequent natural disasters, occurring almost every year around the globe. To mitigate the damage caused by a flood, it is important to timely assess the magnitude of the damage and efficiently conduct rescue operations, deploy security personnel and allocate resources to the affected areas. To efficiently respond to the natural disaster, it is very crucial to swiftly obtain accurate information, which is hard to obtain during a post-flood crisis. Generally, high resolution satellite images are predominantly used to obtain post-disaster information. Deep learning models have achieved superior performance in extracting high-level semantic information from satellite images.

Different Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Typologies
Building-integrated photovoltaic technologies have considerable potential for the generation of on-site renewable energy. Despite this, their market penetration is in a relatively embryonic phase with respect to grounded or building-attached solutions, and they have limited commercial application. Their integration into building façades may represent a key asset in meeting the net-zero emissions by 2050 scenario, in particular for high-rise buildings in which the roof-to-façade ratio is unfavorable for the fulfillment of the energy load using only roof photovoltaic technology.

Tree Detection and Crown Delineation using UAV-SfM Data
Accurate detection and delineation of individual trees and their crowns in dense forest environments are essential for forest management and ecological applications. This research explores the potential of combining leaf-off and leaf-on structure from motion (SfM) data products from unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with RGB cameras.

Carbonate Reservoirs Permeability Prediction
Permeability is a crucial property that can be used to indicate whether a material can hold fluids or not. Predicting the permeability of carbonate reservoirs is always a challenging and expensive task while using traditional techniques. Traditional methods often demand a significant amount of time, resources, and manpower, which are sometimes beyond the limitations of under developing countries.

Socio-Psychological Factors on Residents’ Willingness of Waste Handling
There was a statistically significant difference between low and high levels of awareness and perceived behavior control in Dammam City households’ willingness to sort waste and recycle; however, at the middle level, there was only a significant difference in perceived behavior control. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between high and middle levels in government facilitators regarding sorting and recycling willingness in Dammam City.
