Biography

Dr. Adel Akarish was born at Dakahlia, Egypt. He was educated in Elementary, Preparatory and Secondary “Scientific Sector” Schools. He was awarded B.Sc., MSc and PhD degrees in Geology entitled “Contributions to the geology of the area between Wadi Abu Gada and Wadi El Arish, Central Sinai” at Ain Shams University. He was engaged as an Assistant Researcher (Demonstrator) in the Earth Sciences Department, then Researcher Assistant, then appointed as Researcher then as Assistant Researcher and currently working as Professor in the Geosciences Department at National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt and also delivered lectures about Geo-archaeological courses at Faculty of Archaeology & Tourism Guidance, Misr University for Science& Technology (MUST). Many scientific papers (almost 46 in international & local journals) on Petrography, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Sedimentology, Geology and Stratigraphy, particular references to Gypsum-anhydrite and Kaolin deposits and their assessments are in his credit. Others dealt with carbonates (both limestones and dolomites) and siliciclastic (claystones and sandstones) facies analyses, provenance and lithogenesis. His other activities include Vice Principal of the Egyptian- Japanese project for conservation of some Rock Tombs, Saqqara area, Egypt, Member of many Egyptian Societies, Scientific Coordinator of Transfer Project of RAMSIS II STATUE, Coordinator (Head) of the Technical Committee for Modernizing the Egyptian Standard Specifications, Egyptian Organization for Standardization & Quality Control (EOS), Ministry of Industry, Attended many Geological & Archaeological Conferences and Annual Meeting (local and international), Participated with the staff members of the Earth Sciences Laboratory working on many projects. Dr. Adel supervised and reviewed several M.Sc. and Ph.D thesis in the fields of Geology and Geo- archaeology. He is serving as Reviewer in 6 Journals and Regional Editor in 5 Journals. He is also member of many Egyptian Societies. He attended and delivered number of presentations in conferences, symposiums, and meetings.
