To illustrate the Wilson cycle and both extensional and compressional tectonic styles, crustal scale and industry high resolution regional seismic profiles will be used by the participants to unravel the architecture of sedimentary basins, from rift basins phases to passive margins and than foothills foreland and inverted domains. Case studies selected mainly in the Mediterranean-Middle East realms and worldwide in different types of Sedimentary basins will be also used to document a basin modeling workflow to reconstruct the kinematics/tectonic evolution and evaluate the overall petroleum potential of foreland basins and fold-and-thrust belts. Last but not least, some key regional structural sections and typical seismic structures will be presented and commented. The course will be illustrated by a set of exercises with typical inversional/foreland structures issued from different regions. </p> </div> <br> <h4 style="margin-bottom: 10px">Instructors</h4> <ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-2" style="margin-bottom: 0px"> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar" id="idc" src="source/committees/Sami-Khomsi.png" title="Dr. Sami Khomsi" alt="Contact" style="float: left;margin-top: 5px; padding-right: 20px;"> </p> <h3>Sami Khomsi</h3> <p>Program Co-Chair <br>FST, University Tunis El Manar, Tunisia <br>King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar" id="idc" src="source/committees/francois-roure.png" title="Dr. François Roure" alt="François Roure" style="float: left;margin-top: 5px; padding-right: 20px;"> </p> <h3>François Roure</h3> <p> Scientific Committee co-Chair <br> Chief Editor – Track 15 <br> Arabian Journal of Geosciences <br> IFP – Energies Nouvelles, France </p> </div> </li> </ul> <div style="clear: both"></div> <br> <p> <strong>François Roure</strong> is a Doctor of Structural Geology (1984, Paris VI), a professor and member of the Scientific Board of the French Petroleum Institute.

The deterioration of air quality may cause severe effect on human health e.g., respiratory or lung diseases, cardiovascular or heart diseases, and neurological dementia. Air pollution may also alter the global climate or radiative budget. Do you know, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), nine out of ten people breathe polluted air throughout the world? About 7 million deaths a year was potentially occurred due to the exposure to ambient and household air pollution. The surge of air quality occurs in many mega cities around the world including Southeast Asian cities (Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapore, etc.). In Southeast Asia, annual haze episode triggers over the entire region due to the biomass burning and low visibility. Air quality also declines in South Asian cities. Delhi, Dhaka, Calcutta, etc. are the great example for poor air quality particularly in winter due to dense fog and heavy industrial emission. Beijing is another vulnerable Asian city that often experiences very poor air quality. Haze over ambient air in Beijing that caused by the emissions from transportation and industries. Secondary atmospheric processes i.e., photochemistry also play great role to lower visibility. Photochemical smog occurs in many mega cities like California, Sydnie, Paris, etc. Photochemical Smog is the occurrence of brownish haze in the atmosphere accompanied by high levels of ozone and oxidants forming via photochemical reactions of volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen in presence of sunlight. Air pollution is also well marked or spotted in the history. “London Killer Smog in 1952” is one of them widely referred in the literature. London smog claimed few thousands of deaths over a single week. This heavy smog occurred from the burning of low-grade coal that contains high Sulphur, smoke from home and industrial chimneys. </p> <p> Thus, it has been an established fact that air pollution is a growing concern that we experience in our daily life around every corner in the World. But not everyone has a clear understanding of what the sources of air pollution are. Through participating the course, you will not only learn how to identify them, but also understand the potential impact air pollution has in our present and future. You will be able to learn the Chemometrics models, a new discipline in analytical science and how do Chemometrics models apply in mitigating the air pollution issue. You will also learn how the initial analysis or preprocessing of the data is a significantly important step in the use of Chemometric models. In this course you’ll be able to experience hands-on demonstration and apply the Chemometric model. You will find it a proficient and ideal tool mitigating air pollution. </p> </div> <br> <h4 style="margin-bottom: 20px">Instructor</h4> <p> <img class="avatar" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Md-Firoz-Khan.png" title="Md Firoz Khan" alt="Md Firoz Khan" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px;"> </p> <blockquote> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px;">Md Firoz Khan</h3> </blockquote> <p> <span class="description--paragraph"> Arabian Journal of Geosciences Editor (Track 4) <br>Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science <br>University of Malaya (59<sup>th</sup> QS World Ranking) <br>Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia </span> </p> <div style="clear: both"></div> <br> <p> <strong>Md Firoz Khan</strong> is an Environmental Chemist working as a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Science, University of Malaya in Malaysia since December 2018.

At the upper few meters of Earth's crust, cosmogenic nuclides are produced in-situ and accumulate to measurable quantities over the geological time frames. For over half a century, cosmic ray interactions with the lithospheric nucleon have been found useful to solve various problems of Earth sciences. Several cosmogenic nuclides (<sup>3</sup>He, <sup>10</sup>Be, <sup>14</sup>C, <sup>26</sup>Al, <sup>21</sup>Ne and <sup>36</sup>Cl) were used to determine surface exposure ages and give landform evolution rate. Some of them include the dating of past glacial retreats, the rate of fluvial incisions, and finding the earthquake reoccurrence intervals. The known rate of cosmogenic nuclide accumulation on Earth's surface allows us to determine the age of landforms and the degree of changes affecting the land surfaces, such as erosion rates. Among those nuclides, so far, the <sup>10</sup>Be is the most applied cosmogenic nuclide. It requires Quartz, one of the most ubiquitous and resistant mineral that contains the needed target nuclides. Other cosmogenic nuclides are also providing measurable concentrations where the methodology could be applied. <sup>36</sup>Cl is the most versatile in carbonate rocks. In this course, we will investigate the cosmic rays and the nature of interaction with terrestrial nuclides. Different Earth science applications of useful cosmogenic nuclides will be covered. The course will also teach the field sampling procedures and laboratory sample preparation techniques at <a href="http://www.kozmo-lab.itu.edu.tr/en" class="color2" target="_blank" title="ITU/Kozmo-Lab">ITU/Kozmo-Lab</a>.

Mine waste remediation is an integral part of sustainable development. Biodiversity is the tool box for bioremediation of mine waste and this field has grown phenomenally in recent years having taken birth about 3 decades ago. On the other hand, the number abandoned mines and metal contaminated substrates (water, soil and air) are increasing all over the world due to technogenic sources. Metals are the most prevalent inorganic pollutants/ contaminants and are widely used for a wide variety of needs starting with building materials to information technology and electronic gadgets. Thus, mine waste and metal contamination are a global problem and omni present in all most all technologically advanced nations. </p> <p> Today with growing economy extensive industrialization and extraction of natural resources have resulted in environmental contamination and pollution. Large amounts of toxic waste have been dispersed in thousands of contaminated sites spread all over the globe. The challenge is to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to remediate mine waste. In this direction, bioremediation is emerging as an invaluable tool to address this complex problem. </p> <p> Various strategies are being applied to reduce the levels of contamination. Cultivation of industrial and environmental crops in metalliferous soils is one option. If the contaminant concentration is very high non¬food crops, value chain and value additions appear to be profitable. </p> <p> The advancement in this field is towards production of diverse biofuels (solid, liquid and gaseous). Essentially the crux is revolving around bioenergy. Although bioremediation contractors must proﬁt from the activity, the primary driver is regulatory compliance rather than manufacturing proﬁt. It is an attractive exercise in the context of bioeconomy and circular economy. It is expected to cover the bottle necks and possible solutions to the existing limitations in ﬁeld scale. </p> <p> Bioremediation of mine waste to boost bioeconomy and circular economy provides a common platform for scientists from various backgrounds to find sustainable solutions to various environmental issues. This workshop will also address all the topical issues crucial for understanding the ecosystem approaches for a sustainable development. It provides an overview of ecosystem approaches, conservation of natural resources, resource recovery and pollution abatement and mitigation. </p> <br> <h4 style="margin-bottom: 20px">Workshop Sessions (Program)</h4> <p> For more details about the full conference program, <a href="index.php?p=program" class="color1" target="_blank">see Program</a>. </p> <div class="cms-richtext cms-article default-table"> <table class="" style="display: table; font-size: 1.6rem"> <tbody><tr> <td>Session</td> <td colspan="6">Congress Hall </td> </tr> <tr class="bg-programe2"> <td style="text-align: center;font-weight: bold;">Day 1</td> <td colspan="6" style="text-align: center;font-weight: bold;"> Thursday, 25 November 2021 </td> </tr> <tr class=""> <td>Session 1<br>11:30~12:30</td> <td colspan="6"> Convener: M.

It is a central piece of the process that makes science advance. The rapid progress in the trends of scientiﬁc publication is enhanced by the availability of many tools that did not exist before. </p> <p> However, writing research papers for scientific journals is still not easy and is very competitive. It requires substantial effort which can be maximized by following a few simple guidelines when creating the product for submission. By following guidelines and avoiding common errors, the process can be streamlined and success realized. </p> <p> Here, we share advice on how to effectively write and structure your paper. After producing data and generating ideas from your research, how do you write a clear and concise paper that attracts the attention of journal editors and readers? How should you prepare a cover letter to make a first good impression about your research paper? How should you respond to reviewer reports? </p> <p> During this workshop, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide to getting you started right away at preparing a successful publication following this plan: </p> <div class="richtext"> <ol> <li>What should be the motivation that can inspire you to accomplish a successful publication</li> <li>What to do before you start writing and how to efficiently prepare the needed literature</li> <li>Which kind of writing style you should learn/use</li> <li>How to logically link your ideas throughout the manuscript</li> <li>Which structure you should follow when preparing your manuscript</li> <li>How to present figures and tables</li> <li>How to shape appealing title and abstract after you finish writing</li> <li>Which journal you should chose and how you select the most appropriate journal</li> <li>How to prepare a cover letter to attract the attention of editors</li> <li> How to answer reviewers’ comments</li> </ol> </div> </div> <br> <h4 style="margin-bottom: 20px">Conveners</h4> <ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-2" style="margin-bottom: 0px"> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar" id="idc" src="source/committees/nabil-khelifi.png" title="Nabil Khélifi" alt="Nabil Khélifi" style="float: left;margin-top: 5px; padding-right: 20px;"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Nabil Khélifi</h3> <p>Conference Supervisor <br>Senior Publishing Editor, MENA program <br>Springer, a part of Springer Nature, Germany </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Giovanni_Bertotti.png" title="Giovanni Bertotti" alt="Giovanni Bertotti" style="float: left;margin-top: 5px; padding-right: 20px;"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Giovanni Bertotti</h3> <p>Associate Editor, Mediterranean Geosciences Reviews (Springer) <br>Geoscience & Engineering, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands </p> </div> </li> </ul> <div style="clear: both"></div> <br> <p> <strong>Nabil Khélifi</strong> undertook fellowships at the System for Analysis, Research and Training (START) in 2005 and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), as part of his Ph.D. studies in Marine Geosciences at the University of Kiel in Germany (2006 to 2010). After his Ph.D., he received a research grant from the German Science Foundation (DFG) to conduct research projects at the GEOMAR Ocean Research Centre in Kiel, Germany on oceanography and climate reconstructions in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean (2010 to 2013). His research findings have been presented at many conferences and published in esteemed journals. He co-organized workshops on the Pliocene climate in Bordeaux, France (2009) and Bristol, UK (2013), funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF). In late 2013, he received the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship (SGES). In 2014, he joined Springer in Heidelberg, Germany as an Editor, was promoted to Senior Editor in 2017 responsible for managing 20 academic journals from the MENA region. He is also active in educational seminars for authors, reviewers, and editors to help improve publication output and quality. He is a Visiting Lecturer at King Saud University, KSA where he gives M.Sc. lectures on scientific presentations and publishing techniques, as well as career development workshops. Dr. Khélifi has launched two Springer conferences (more details at www.emcei.net and www.cajg.org). In 2016, he was awarded the Africa Green Future Leadership Award for his promotion of publications from Africa. In 2020, he received the Saudi Society for Geosciences Award for successful management of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences. </p> <br> <p> <strong>Giovanni Bertotti</strong> is a full Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. Following his MSc at the University of Pisa (Italy) he received his PhD at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland) after working on the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the M. Generoso basin. He then spent one year in North Africa tackling water-related problems in the Niger countryside. In 1991, his academic career started at the VU Amsterdam in the group of S. Cloetingh. There, he linked (mainly field) data and numerical models with case studies in Turkey (the Carpathians), Morocco and other countries from the MENA region. Since 2007 he has become more and more involved in research on fractured reservoirs. Starting in 2010, he spends not less than 60% of his time at the Delft University of Technology. He is essentially a structural geologist with wide experience in the field. He combines the scale of small outcrops to that of larger regions linking the structural geology with the tectonic approach. At the outcrop (and smaller scale), he is essentially working on outcropping analogues of fractured reservoirs, particularly those characterized by strong sedimentological (flat-topped platforms) and structural heterogeneities (folds). For data acquisition he uses a variety of tools inclusive of a drone and of digital tools. Together with his collaborators he worked on Permian siliciclastics (South Africa), folded Devonian quartz arenites (Morocco) and heterogeneous carbonate platforms (Italy and Brazil). At the larger scale, he is particularly interested in the post-rift evolution of rifted continental margin, especially those of NW Africa and SE America. He is also working on the birth and growth of the Central Anatolia plateau, Turkey. Side activities brought him to work in the Tyrrhenian Sea and the surrounding domains. His research works appeared in over 150 journal articles. Teaching is one of his passions. He gave a large number of courses at all levels from undergraduate to PhD. He led excursions and gave special courses in numerous universities. He is particularly interested in strengthening education opportunities in ME and African countries. </p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row" style="margin-bottom: 30px"> <div class="columns small-12 small-centered"> <div class="cms-grid-collection">  <h2 class="title-section">Round Tables</h2> <div class="body-section"> <div style="margin-top:20px;"> </div>  <div class="title-section"> <h3>Round Table 1 (in-person and online)</h3> </div> <div class="body-section"> <div class="color1" style="margin-top: 35px"> <p> An Overview of the Mesozoic to Recent Tectonic Agenda of the Northern African Basins, from Morocco to Egypt<br> <br> 26 November 2021<br> 08:00—10:30 TRT (Turkey Time) </p> </div> <br> <p> This round table is intended to gather different geoscientists who have worked or are currently working on the tectonic evolution and events at large scale throughout the sedimentary basins of North Africa.
