I am a German/Australian geoscientist and Adjunct Research Fellow at the

Humboldt University in Berlin, and ACACIA at the University of Cologne

.

I initiated most Wikipedia entries on the the Arab Manasir tribe at the

Date Cultivation in Dar al-Manasir, and the Mansuri poet Ibrahim 'Ali Salman

.

At present, I am interested in

mineral exploration, and Environmental Mineralogy such as in dust provenancing studies

.

In 2011 I presented my research at the following conferences: - "Recent advances in the textural quantification of commercially important clay minerals in subsurface applications" at the European Clay Conference – EUROCLAY 2011 Turkey, 26 June – 01 July 2011, Antalya, Turkey. - "Loess and floods: late Pleistocene fine-grained valley-fill deposits in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia" - XVIII INQUA-Congress 21-27 July 2011 in Bern, Switzerland. - "SEM-EDS based particle-by-particle characterisation of a large Australian dust storm" - XVIII INQUA-Congress 21-27 July 2011 in Bern, Switzerland. - "Petrological reconstruction of the subsurface based on PDC drill cuttings: an advanced rock typing approach" - 10th International Congress for Applied Mineralogy (ICAM), Trondheim, Norway, see proceedings for conference paper p.275-283 - "SEM-EDS based protocol for subsurface drilling mineral identification and petrological classification" - 10th International Congress for Applied Mineralogy (ICAM), Trondheim, Norway, see proceedings for conference paper p.265-273 - "Assessing and monitoring geological storage of CO2 using automated petrography analysis" - DOE's Carbon Storage Program Infrastructure Annual Review Meeting, Pittsburgh, PA, November 15-17, 2011
