As part of the academic procedures required for the appointment of a performance evaluation teacher degree in his lecture before the department committee, the Faculty of Petroleum and Natural Resources at Sana’a University, represented by the Department of Earth Sciences, organized an evaluation scientific seminar (Seminar), in a geophysics specialization during which Eng. Mohamed Abdul Razak Mohamed Makaber gave a comprehensive and distinguished presentation of his master’s degree entitled:
“Investigating geological structures using the refractive seismic method and vertical electrical sensory in the Sarrar area, east of Sana’a governorate, Yemen.”
In his presentation the scientific methodology and applied steps of his study, ranging from setting targets and problem, topographic and tectonic features of the study area, to reviewing field and field work and how to make the necessary corrections to process raw data from vertical electromagnetic (VES) and refractive seismic methods. The researcher also presented the two-dimensional (2D) subsurface sections and models, interpreting the results and matching them accurately with wells drilled in the region.
The presentation highlighted the high applied value of the data and outcomes of this dissertation, which is a training reference and a living model for college students in Geophysical Application and Subsurface Exploration courses. The study demonstrates to students how field data are handled, processed using specialized geophysical software and interpreted geologically, both in the areas of:
– Exploring groundwater and determining its motion.
– Exploration and exploration of mineral resources.
– Constructivist (tectonic) and engineering studies to determine subsurface structures and faults.
The presentation was widely praised by the committee members and the college, given the outstanding academic and applied linkage needed by the labor market and scientific research.
