The Geology of the Arabian-Nubian Shield, 1st ed. 2021 Regional Geology Reviews Series
Coordonnateurs : Hamimi Zakaria, Fowler Abdel-Rahman, Liégeois Jean-Paul, Collins Alan, Abdelsalam Mohamed G., Abd EI-Wahed Mohamed
This richly illustrated book reviews the geology, tectonics and mineralization of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) in 27 chapters. It starts with an examination of the ANS lithospheric scale features, explores Mesoproterozoic units and deals with the ANS oceanic stage. Arc volcanism and plutonism, post-collision basins and volcanics are discussed, as well as the younger granitoid magmatism and the deformation history of the ANS. The book provides information on ANS glacial stages and late magmatism. Chapters are devoted to review the transition between ANS and the reworked continent to its south. Finally, it discusses how ANS structures influenced the overall East African Rift System.
Zakaria Hamimiis a Tectonics and Structural Geologist, currently at Benha University in Egypt, and has worked previously at Sana’a University, Yemen (1995-1998) and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia (2003-2013). He obtained a BSc (distinction with Honors) in 1984 at Assiut University, a M.Sc in 1988 at Zagazig University, and a Ph.D in 1992 in Structural Geology and Tectonics at Cairo University. His research focusses on the tectonic evolution of the Arabian-Nubian Shield via structural/microstructural, paleostress and strain studies, aligned with geological mapping, geomorphology and remote sensing methodologies. His research output exceeds 80 research publications in national and international journals. Besides, He co-edited four Springer's books.
Zakaria Hamimi is the president, and a founding member of the Arabian Geosciences Union, since 2012. He has been awarded the medal of the Egyptian Geological Society of Egypt in 2015, and the medal of the Arab Mining and Petroleum Association in 2016. His services to the profession include his roles as Associate Editor of the Egyptian Journal of Geology (1998-2002) and the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (2016-now); member of the Egyptian Universities Promotion Committee, Supreme Council for Universities, Egypt (2016-2019); Secretary of the National Committee for Geological Sciences, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (2016-2019), and later nominated for President of this Academic Committee in 2020; and the IUGS-Representative for Egypt in Cape Town 2016 and Thailand 2017.
Abdel-Rahman Fowler graduated with BSc (Honors, 1st Class) in Geology from Sydney University, Australia in 1977. After experience in the uranium and tin exploration and mining industry in NSW, Queensland and Northern Territory, he obtained a PhD in Structure and Tectonics at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 1986. He has instructed in Structural Geology and other
