Through the facilities offered to me during this work, all things went very smooth, and I should acknowledge his assistance in supplying invaluable literature which was not available at the university of Würzburg or not accessible online. Without his help, this work would not have actually been possible. Deep thanks and appreciation are due to my Co-supervisor Prof Elias Salameh; University of Jordan. I will never forget the extreme confidence he has offered me pertaining the research, as I was confused at the very early stages to go ahead with such pilot work in Aqaba. I am also much indebted to Mr. Peter Zolda, University of Vienna, for the help he has offered in selecting the sampling sites, and providing one of the three cores used in this research, (to avoid further damage to the reef) in addition to the determination of the core geochronology.
