Working in Evaluation and Monitoring of the Impact of Sea Level Rise on

Previous the Coastal Zone of Port-Said City Jan. 2014

Projects I was the PI of this project working with a research team

since Jan 2014 till July 2014. The main goal of this project

is to conduct a geo-environmental assessment using geospatial

analysis for port-said, Egypt coastline, with specific

concern on the impact of global change and rise on its coastal

environment.

GIS environment.

Research Project at National institute of Oceanography, Goa,

India 1999: Sedimentology, Mineralogy and Geochemistry of

modern Sediments from Rosetta Branch Nile Delta, Egypt.

An investigation was devoted to study some sedimentological,

mineralogical, and geochemical characters (major, trace and

biogenic constituents) of the modern bottom sediments of

Rosetta Nile branch on the northwestern Nile Delta of Egypt,

aimed at evaluating their source and the geological processes

controlling their distribution. Efforts are also made to

assess the possible effects of industrial, agricultural and

human wastes on the sediment.
