We are currently focusing on developing proper biostratigraphical conditions for various rock formations across the Arabian Platform, ranging from the Paleozoic to the Neogene. So far, we have made significant progress with parts of the Permian-Triassic, Jurassic, and Miocene, but our work is far from complete. Given the vast region and limited baseline data, our team is steadily building the biostratigraphy lexicon for the area and is ready to collaborate with local and international institutions.
We are currently monitoring various locations across the Arabian Gulf (from the Saudi Arabia side and Bahrain, possibly more in the future) to understand how natural and anthropogenic conditions affect living marine calcifiers. Given the vast region and numerous areas to explore, our team is making steady progress in unraveling the secrets of these organisms as they face an unprecedented future. We are also open to future collaborations across regions, institutions, and disciplines.
As a participant and well-known member of several International/Integrated Ocean Drilling/Discovery Programs, our supervisor has numerous drilling materials from various sites and time intervals. Many integrative studies and publications based on this data are available online, but future work is still open for those interested in collaborating or learning more.
