978-3-030-95639-4 (ISBN)
The Phanerozoic Geology and Natural Resources of Egypt includes a series of chapters written by highly qualified group of researchers whose expertise is recognized and appreciated not only in Egypt, but also in the world over. The chapters span a wide range of geological subdisciplines including tectonics, paleogeography, stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, groundwater, and energy resources, just to name a few. In this regard, the book provides the reader with ample knowledge about the different facets of the fascinating and always intriguing geology of Egypt since the Precambrian time. For a junior researcher or a geoscience student, the book is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary one-stop resource that they will continue to reference and rely on for years to come. For a more experienced scientist, the book summarizes the current state of knowledge, highlights the magnitude of complexity of the geology of Egypt and northeast Africa, and reveals potential areas where future research should be directed. The book is written in simple, easy to understand English language and contains very useful high-quality illustrations. Last but not least, The Phanerozoic Geology and Natural Resources of Egypt has been reviewed and edited by world class, highly ranked geoscientists from Egypt, Europe, and USA.
Zakaria Hamimi is a structural geologist spent the majority of his academic careerer at Benha University (Egypt) along with some years at Sana'a University (Yemen,) and King Abdulaziz University (Saudi Arabia). He has graduated (1984) from Assiut University (distinction with honor degree), and holds the M.Sc. (1988) from Zagazig University (Egypt) and the Ph.D. in Structural Geology and Tectonics (1992) from Cairo University. His research interests focus on Structural Geology, Microstructures and Tectonics. He has worked in many field-related sub-disciplines of Earth Sciences including geologic mapping, microstructural analysis, strain analysis, paleostress reconstruction, active tectonics, tectonic geomorphology, crustal deformation and image processing. He used all these fields to study key areas in the Arabian-Nubian Shield, and to decipher their deformation history. Zakaria Hamimi is the president, and one of the founding team, of the Arabian Geosciences Union since 2012.
He has received the medal of the Egyptian Geological Society of Egypt in 2015, and also the medal of the Arab Mining and Petroleum Association in 2016. He has co-published 50 research articles in national and international indexed and refereed journals and authored several books. In 2016, Zakaria Hamimi (1) joined the AJGS as Associate Editor responsible for evaluating submissions in the fields of Structural Geology, Microstructures and Tectonics, (2) selected as a Member of the Egyptian Universities Promotion Committee, the Supreme Council for Universities (SCU, Egypt), (3) nominated as a Secretary of the National Committee for Geological Sciences, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, and (4) designated as the IUGS-Representative for Egypt. November 2017, he attended the Gondwana 16 International Conference held at Bangkok, Thailand, as the Representative of the National Committee for Geological Sciences, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt. September 15, 2020, Zakaria Hamimi nominated as the President of the Egyptian National Committee for Geological Sciences, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology.
Hassan Khozayem is an associate professor at Aswan University, Egypt. He got his PhD Degree from University of Lausanne, Switzerland in 2013 and was appointed as a lecturer in the Geology Department of Aswan University. He is invited as visitor professor for Princeton University and Lausanne University. In 2015 he awarded the state prize of encouragement from the Egyptian government (Egyptian Science and Technology Academy) in geosciences, and in 2017 he got the first class concession is provided by the Egyptian president. His work mainly on geochemistry and sedimentology of Paleogene sediments in Egypt, India, and Spain. His research interests focus on global climatic and paleo-environmental changes associated with warming events, with high-resolution bio-, and chemostratigraphy.
Currently, he is interested in the current global climatic changes and its impact on the environment using different geochemical proxies (stable isotope, mineralogy, and geochemistry). He is a member in several geo-societies as well as reviewer in several geoscience journals.
Thierry Adatte is Professor and head of the geochemistry and mineralogy sedimentary laboratory at the Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. in Mineralogy and Sedimentary Geology from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. 1989-1990: Postdoctoral fellow (FNS), Mexican Petroleum Institute (IMP). 1990-1993: Postdoctoral fellow (FNS), Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, Mexico and Neuchâtel University, Switzerland. 1993-2004: Maître assistant ("Assistant professor"), head of the Mineralogical and Geochemical Laboratory, Geological Institute, Neuchâtel University, Switzerland. 2004-2012: Associate Professor,"Chargé de cours et d'enseignement" (paleontology, sedime
