Summary:

As a Professor of Sedimentology and Paleoenvironment at Sana’a University, I teach a number of specialization subjects such as sedimentary petrology, stratigraphy, sedimentation process and its products and the course of Geology of Yemen.

My research interests are in the field of sedimentology and paleoclimatology, and I am working on the sedimentary cover and stratigraphic sequence of Yemen in order to better understand the interpretation of paleoenvironmental conditions in sediment source regions and deposition sites, where sedimentary rocks are important sources and reservoirs of natural resources including fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), as well as drinking water and mineral ores.

Also interest in studying a variety of climate archives, including stalagmites and stalactites in caves, in order to create a time series dated accurately, provide new insights into climate and environmental processes on different time scales to interpret archaeological discoveries and societal changes.

RESENT INTEREST

• Clastic Sedimentary Cover of Yemen (main aquifer for water in the region)
• Geological heritage of Yemen. Such as Dinosaur foot prints, caves, etc…
• Try to identify and protect the best National representative geological feature or major sequence, and look for any unique or exceptional sites and of International importance. This work will lead us to establish a ‘GEOPARK’ in Yemen in near future.
• Follow-up tocomplete theprocedures for the establishment the National Science Museum Project (NSM) Sana’a, Yemen
• Supervision and training students and staff of the geological museum, in different geological topics as well the training in the geological field excursions and how to preserve and protect the unique and the important geological sites.
• Geo and Eco-Tourism in the development of socio-economic of Yemen
• Worked as team leader to study the impacts of Climate changes on the Red Sea Coast, financed by the World Bank (2001-2002)
