EDUCATION
Ph.D. Geology 2010 Department of Geosciences, Western Michigan University, USA.
Department of Geology, Mansoura University, Egypt
Dissertation: Sedimentology of the Cenomanian-Turonian succession in west central Sinai,
Egypt.
Advisors and Committee Members:
Prof. Michael Grammer, Associate Professor, Department of Geosciences, Western Michigan
University, USA.
Prof. Adam El Shahat, Emeritus Professor, Department of Geology Faculty of Science,
Mansoura University.
Prof. Adel M. Genedi, Professor of sedimentology, Department of Geology, Faculty of Science,
Mansoura University.
The Cenomanian-Turonian rocks; Raha and Abu Qada formations deposited on a ramp. These
two formations composed of four third-order depositional sequences. Because Sinai Peninsula
was stable during the Cenomanian and Middle-Late Turonian, the main factor controlling the
lateral and vertical facies changes is likely due to changes in sea level. The oceanic anoxic
event has recorded in the studied area around the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary.
M.Sc. Geology 2005 Dept. of Geology, Mansoura University, Egypt.
Thesis: Sedimentological and geochemical studies on the Quaternary sediments in Abu
Dabbab-Hamata area along the Red Sea coast, Egypt.
Advisors and Committee Members:
Prof. Mahmoud I. El Sherbini, Professor of Sedimentology, Department of Geology, Faculty of
Science, Mansoura University.
Prof. Amin M. Gheith, Professor of Sedimentology, Department of Geology, Faculty of
Science, Mansoura University.
Prof. Essam M. El Khoriby, Professor of Sedimentology, Department of Geology, Faculty of
Science, Mansoura University.
Quaternary sediments in the Red Sea Coast divided in two groups; evaporite deposits and non
evaporite deposits. Evaporite deposits contain sabkha and salina while non eveporite ones are
represented by coral reef terraces, beachrocks, wadi deposits, and aeolian deposits. The main

diagenetic processes in the coral reefs are micritization, dissolution-cementation, dolomitization,
and compaction. Sea level oscillation, tectonic influences, and climatic changes played an
integrated role in the deposition of the different Quaternary deposits.
B.Sc. Geology 1999 Deptartment of Geology, Mansoura University, Egypt.

FIELD EXPERIENCE
October 2001: field trip to Mersa Alam area, Red Sea coast, Egypt to study different types of the
Quaternary rocks.
November 2002: field trip to study the Quaternary deposits between Wadi Abu Dabbab and Hamata
area, Red Sea coast, Egypt. These rocks include: coral reef terraces, gravel terraces, and sabkha,
saline, and wadi deposits.
February 2003: leading student field trip to Sinai Peninsula, Egypt to study some Cretaceous
exposures.
February 2004: leading student field trip to Mersa Alam area, Red Sea coast, Egypt to study the
Quaternary rocks.
March 2007: field trip to Qasr El Sagha area, Fayoum, Egypt to study the middle Eocene rocks.
January 2008: field trip to the west central Sinai area to study the Cenomanian-Turonian rocks.
These rocks are mixed carbonate-siliciclastic comprising three formations; Raha, Abu Qada, and
Wata.
March 2008: leading student field trip to Wadi Al Hytan area, Fayoum, Egypt to see the vertebrate
fossils.
April 2008: field trip to the west central Sinai area to study and collect the Cenomanian-Turonian
rocks for additional research.
May 2010: Utah, Colorado and Arizona, USA to study the Paleozoic rocks and basin evolution.
December 2011-January 2012: Lead field trip for New Mexico Tech participants into the Western
Desert, Egypt to study travertine deposits and groundwater. This trip included sampling rocks and
water at various oases: Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla, Kharga, and Kurkur.
January 2012: field trip to west central Sinai, Gabal Nazzazat, to study and collect the Cenomanian-
Turonian rocks that consist of three formations, Raha, Abu Qada, and Wata.
October 2012: field trip to Fayum area to study the Middle Eocene rocks (Gehannam, Birket Qarun,
and Qasr El Sagha formations).
November 2012: filed trip to Sinai Peninsula to study and sample Coniacian-Santonian Matulla
Formation.
January 2013: student field trip to Bahariya Oasis to study Cenomanian Bahariya Formation and
iron ores.
April 2013: filed trip to Sinai Peninsula to sample dolomitic limestone of the Late Turonian W ata
Formation.
May 2013: field trip to Fayum Province to study Middle and Upper Eocene rocks.
