Prof. Ramadan H. Abu-Zied

 Professor

Profile

He is a professor of (marine) geology in the Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt; and currently he is a professor of marine geology in the Marine Geology Dept, Faculty of Marine Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He has got his Ph.D. from Southampton Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton, UK. He is responsible for teaching many courses for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Faculty of Marine Science, King Abdulaziz University. His research interest is mainly concerned on micropaleontology, biostratigraphy, paleoenvironments, paleoclimate of past and recent times, stable isotopes and the environmental evaluation of shallow and deep marine areas that have be affected by pollution due to sewage and industrial effluents. Also, he study and evaluate the natural shallow marine areas such as lagoons, lakes, bays, salt marches, tidal flats and mangroves areas. He is currently the supervisor of the Isotope Lab of the Faculty of Marine Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah.
