Muhammed Adem is a M.Sc. candidate at the University of Haifa in the Department of Marine Geosciences. He previously earned a B.Sc. in Earth Sciences from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia and received advanced training and research in the field of Environmental Sciences under a United Nations University Fellowship at Orkustofnun - National Energy Authority, Iceland. He is interested in marine geosciences to expand and learn new skills for his future career in the field of geosciences and environmental sciences, and to expose himself to a broad understanding of a variety of influences, including explanations in social and environmental challenges.

Shifting Life Assemblages along the Coastlines of Dead Sea: A Real-Time Analogue for Discrete Lake Level Change
Shifting Life Assemblages along the Coastlines of Dead Sea: A Real-Time Analogue for Discrete Lake Level Change
Supervisors: Beverly Goodman-Tchernov and Michael Lazar
The salinity of the Dead Sea is ten times that of average seawater, making it one of the harshest environments for organisms to survive. It is presumed that the unique communities of living organisms along these mixed Dead Sea water and coastal spring microenvironments live along a rapidly changing salinity gradient. The combination of rapid lake level change (lowering) and the presence of unique communities living in the interface present a rare opportunity to construct a (very) hypersaline coastal assemblage sequence (foraminifera and fish assemblages) for this area that could provide a model from a natural laboratory for identifying changes to the foraminifera and fish assemblages associated with changing water levels.
