Overview Supporting land ecosystems through education Land sensitive waste disposal

Khalifa University supports land conservation through studies on native vegetation, arid-land ecology and nature-based climate solutions. Researchers assess how desert ecosystems respond to climate stressors and restoration techniques. Khalifa University’s work on soil health, native plant productivity and carbon sequestration provides data essential for environmental restoration. Remote sensing tools allow long-term monitoring of land degradation, vegetation health as well as archelogy. Campus green spaces are being enhanced to support biodiversity and improve urban microclimates. Collaboration with environmental organizations strengthens national conservation initiatives.
