Abstract

AbstractKuwait marine geology can be directly or indirectly influenced by various environmental, anthropogenic, industrial, and geomorphological factors continuously altering its nature and affecting its numerous compartments like fauna/flora, water chemistry, physical oceanography, etc. In this chapter, we attempted to describe salient characteristics about Kuwait onshore, and offshore marine geology from historical and modern perspectives. It highlights unique and dynamic ecological and geological factors that are continuously influencing its nature concerning local and transboundary environmental impacts in addition to the significantly booming oil industry that is persistently transforming Kuwait’s marine geology.
