What is a desert nation doing in Antarctica? That is the question many ask, but in this episode of KU Pulse – the podcast, Dr. Aisha Alsuwaidi, Professor, Earth Sciences, Khalifa University, explains why the better question is: Are we arriving at the right moment? In conversation with moderator and Khalifa University Science Writer Margaret Kinsella, Dr. Al Suwaidi unpacks the thinking behind the Emirates Polar Program, the UAE’s accession to the Antarctic Treaty System, and why polar research matters deeply to regions far from ice, including the UAE and the Middle East. This new episode looks at responsibility, collaboration, and what meaningful scientific contribution looks like now that the UAE is part of the global polar research community. From climate systems and ice dynamics to science diplomacy and sustainability, the discussion shows how being “new” to Antarctica can be a strength, and why what happens at the poles affects us all.

We already use the ground beneath us to extract energy. The challenge now is whether it can safely be used to store energy and carbon dioxide when there are few viable alternatives above ground. This episode looks at how researchers in the UAE test what happens beneath the surface, and how they determine whether underground storage is safe enough to use. In this new episode of KU Pulse - the podcast, Ahmed Alzaabi, Khalifa University alumnus and Engineer and Researcher in Carbon and Hydrogen Storage, ADNOC, joins moderator Dr. Glenda El Gamal, Senior Lecturer in the General Education Unit, Khalifa University, to explain the science of storing energy underground.

In this episode of KU Pulse – the podcast, Ahmed Alzaabi, Khalifa University alumnus and Engineer and Researcher in Carbon and Hydrogen Storage, ADNOC, discusses how gases behave beneath the Earth’s surface and its importance in the future of clean energy and climate action. Moderated by Dr. Glenda El Gamal, Senior Lecturer in the General Education Unit, Khalifa University, the conversation explores how hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen move through carbonate rock formations common to the UAE. Using high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging, Ahmed explains how scientists can observe gas movement and translate laboratory findings into real-world applications. The discussion connects science to practical challenges facing the energy transition: storing surplus renewable energy as hydrogen, permanently securing carbon dioxide underground, and designing safer, more effective storage systems that support net-zero ambitions. Ahmed also reflects on the risks, limitations, and long-term implications of underground gas storage, offering a clear-eyed view of both promise and responsibility.
