WELCOME

An area full of controversies since ancient times, the Middle East, especially Lebanon, received waves upon waves of civilizations, and all blended in its current Arabic generous culture. The geology of the area, on the other hand, is one giving up a wealth of instructive opportunities ... be it in tectonics, geomorphology, stratigraphy, petrology, engineering-environmental geology, heritage ... etc. all merge in such a small area. This is quite appealing to geologists around the world, and from different disciplines.

The Conference will be a melting pot to expose the diverse geological themes of interest in the Middle East. The area is witnessing rapid development, therefore, contribution of the geosciences is an important issue. This is why the theme of the Conference was chosen. If sustainability must be secured to reflect proper development, then people involved in that development must heed the geosciences. Be it in protecting people against natural disasters, or securing their economic wealth through exploiting mineral deposits, or hydrocarbons, supplying the needed water and, indeed, preserving these resources for ages to come ... hence environmental considerations ... all lie within the realm of geosciences.

The Organizing Committee is pleased to welcome all those who are going to merge in Beirut for the occasion of the Conference. It also welcomes accompanying members. And the Committee is honored to have the excellent contribution of the key-note speakers who, for sure, all the participants would look forward to hear them.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

 

Meetings

Several meetings are likely to take place by different groups. Those who indicated, by June 98, they would like to take the opportunity to meet are the following:

  1. The Arab Geological Union

  1. Editorial Board of the Sub-commission for Tectonic Maps within the Commission for the Geological Map of the World

  1. Earth Cultural Heritage Group

  1. Geologists in Remote Sensing Application

  1. Committee of the Phanerozoic Correlation in the Arab Countries

 

Special Call

(Establishing a new Arab specialized society; Arab Society for Environmental Geology).

We would like to make good use of the Conference as a convenient platform to call for a meeting of interested geologists, researchers and applied development personnel geared to environmental geology and/or the application of geosciences in the service of the environment.

A special notice will be given during the Conference clarifying where to meet. For a fruitful discussion, there will be an ordered agenda to follow, but the floor is open (before the time of the meeting) to make suggestions, or relevant modifications, on the agenda.

We highly encourage everyone who is interested, and feel capable to contribute, to participate in the meeting. Let's hope that the first stones for a new specialized Arab society, of geologists in the service of the environment, would be laid down in this Conference.

In case you missed the agenda, or you like to have more information, or comments, please write now, or call during the Conference, on Dr. Mohamad Khawlie (personal Tel. 03.234809).

CONVENIENCE INFORMATION

 

BEIRUT

Almost at the middle of Lebanon's coastal stretch, Beirut, the capital, enjoys the eastern Mediterranean sunny beaches and towering chains of mountains. It combines to the modern touches, the colonial and the ancient, layer upon layer. Lebanon, Phoenicia of old and the cradle of the letter, is a small but beautiful rugged mountainous country. Within one hour you can be swimming, and the next you are skiing. The country is a museum of archaeological sites dispersed throughout the land, side by side with beautiful natural landscape.

Beirut, though a very dense urban center, nevertheless, reflects the country's and the people's character in its diversity and cultural richness. Its souvenirs include Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, Early Islamic, Crusader, Mamelouk, and Ottoman features. Its 1.5 million inhabitants can choose from a wide variety of activities including the national museum, theaters, shopping, sports and music.

Beirut's whole downtown area, over 26 km2, is a unique opportunity where remains of ancient Berytus are adjacent to the huge efforts of renovation and rebuilding taking place now. Shopping malls are abundant and wonderful Lebanese sweets stores and restaurants. All hotels will be in Beirut, either within walking distance, or a short ride in "service" which is apublic taxi, though is usually heavy. At all rates, a stroll on the "corniche" to see Rauch� and enjoy the Lebanese "mez�" on the sea front is a must.

 

ARRIVAL IN BEIRUT

 

Beirut International Airport is a newly constructed and renovated facility. There is a frequent bus service to different sectors of the City, as well as taxis. The taxi costs around $20.00, and it takes from -30 minutes, depending on traffic, to get to the hotel.

VISAS

The Lebanese authorities at the airport would give visas (better get multiple) on the spot to most foreign visitors, but having a visa on passport from your country is preferable for ease of process. Arab visitors must have visas (better get multiple). You can check with airline officials on need for visa. Those who are joining the post conference trip to Syria, need a visa to Syria on passport.

 

INVITATION

We will be happy to send an invitation to Conference participants and accompanying members, upon request, for facilitating acquiring visa or funds. We are not committed to financial help.

THE ARAB GEOLOGICAL UNION

 

Two Distinguished Scientists to Remember

Dr. Ziad Beydoun; Dr. Hafez Kobeissi

 

The geological, and certainly the scientific community in this part of the world lost two men who were staunch fighters for geology and science. The loss of Dr. Ziad Beydoun, geologist and ex-president of the Lebanese National Geological Committee, and the loss of Dr. Hafez Kobeissi, physicist and Secretary General of the National Council for Scientific Research, marks a deep wound in us all.

No doubt, words are deficient to express the real distinctiveness of the two persons, the appreciation and high esteem held for them. Their imprints are real and continue with us in this Conference whom they have given full support from the beginning.

The two men share characteristics, human and scholarly, not found in common people. Indeed, both were uncommon. Whether the specialized books they have written, the immensity of their authentic international published works and, of course, the abundantly loving students and colleagues whom they taught and contributed to their improvement ... all are witness to the two distinguished professors. Each in his own field had excelled to unparalleled limits.

Ziad Beydoun's contribution to the petroleum geology of the Middle East will far outlive the person's name. His most recent work, from a fellow who knew he was going, came out just a month after his death ... Ziad Beydoun's work and his lovely memory will live for generations to come. The honors that were bestowed on him including the William Smith medal speak out for his greatness.

Hafez Kubeissi's contribution to the field of theoretical particle physics, his innovative ideas that are still circling the highest esteemed international journals reflect on the person's capabilities. His highly dynamic and versatile character has helped push the whole scientific community in Lebanon forward. Never was the Lebanese Scientific Council for Research as mobile, productive and felt then under Hafez directions and personal care. The many scientific societies he helped create, and the honorary positions he held including the Medal of the Order of the Knight bestowed on him by the President of the Republic, are glimpses of what that man was.

The burden in the loss of the two men is too heavy, and thus we share it all. As we shared loving and respecting them when they were with us, we equally share the appreciation of looking forward for generations of scientists to come, carrying on the heavy scientific burdens these two super humans carried before.
