Welcome to Bernard Blasband's Homepage.
I am a part-time geology Ph.D. student at the
Earth Sciences department of Utrecht
University in the Netherlands. The subject of my research is the
Late Proterozoic of the Arabian-Nubian Shield. This sounds pretty
broad but I have picked just three areas from this impressive shield,
that are typical for its tectonic development through time. These
three areas are:
The Bi'r Umq
Complex in West central Saudi Arabia
The Tabalah
area in South Western central Saudi Arabia
The Wadi Kid
area in the South Eastern Sinai, Egypt
Each of these areas display a part of the
Neoproterozoic of the Arabian-Nubian Shield with the Bi'rUmq Complex
displaying the oldest relicts in the form of ophiolites. The Tabalah
area displays intra-terrane deformation and the Wadi Kid Complex is a
core complex that was developped during orogenic collapse. My research
is mainly based on snall scale structural research. I have published a
number of papers on the Wadi Kid area and the references can be found
on
my geology page.
