Abu Dhabi's sabkhas are well worth preserving.
Sabkha is an Arabic word for a flat depression, usually close to water, and covered with salt crust.
An immature sabkha will be inundated during higher than normal spring tides, after rainstorms, or when driving winds push seawater onshore to a depth of a few centimeters.
The flatness of a sabkha is enhanced by aeolian siliciclastic dust being deposited in the topographic lows with most of the relief caused by evaporites.
Inland of this are the supratidal sabkhas.
The lower-rank cycles in the saline pan/sabkha deposits consist of alternating dark and lighter gypsum, consisting of microgranular gypsum grown within shales and vertically aligned gypsum crystals, respectively.
Other outdoor habitats designed that are yet to be constructed include wadi, sabkha, central fog desert and sand desert.
