The professor reveals that they discover a complete model of the stages of the development of the Nile Delta during the Holocene era and its repercussions on the ancient Egyptian civilization and it is also expected to find out the nature of the sediments and the evidence it contains.

Furthermore, the president praises the organization of such important seminars for students that   shed a light on the applied side of various specializations and provide students with the necessary experiences for the labor market. He also stresses the need to integrate the efforts of various relevant bodies to organize studies and research works to maximize investment for the benefit of the national economy and the establishment of a scientific base with young national cadres qualified and capable of carrying out geological work.
