Taken last year at the Abu Dhabi desert, after the rains that flooded Dubai.

Mud?

Nope!

Our second #SabkhaSaturday sees us wading through the dominantly very-fine to fine grained #carbonate sediments of the intertidal zone in the Abu Dhabi #sabkha. These sediments are anoxic only a few cm below the surface yet are surprisingly heavily bioturbated (not just by us!). 🧪⚒️
