CV Dr. Osman Mahmoud Abdullatif Assistant Professor, Department of Earth Sciences King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia Summary of Major Achievements I am an assistant professor in the Earth Sciences Department, KFUPM. Before joining KFUPM in 2001, I was a associate Prof. of Geology at the Geology Department, University of Khartoum, Sudan. I earned a Ph.D. degree in Geology with specialization in sedimentology from the University of Khartoum, Sudan, 1993, a master Degree from University of London, 1982, post graduate diploma in exploration Geology from University of Alberta, Canada and in Mineral Exploration from the ITC, Delft, The Netherlands. My teaching and research areas of interests include Geology, sedimentology, Stratigraphy basin analysis, clastic depositional system, petroleum geology and Paleozoic and Mesozoic sandstone reservoirs. Supervised several Summer Field Geology trips and mapping projects for over 25 undergraduate geology students. Graduate courses covered advanced Sedimentology, advanced stratigraphy, independent Studies and Geology Seminar. I supervised over 50 M.S and PhD theses at U of K in Sudan and KFUPM and have many publications in journals and conferences. I conducted several internally and externally sponsored projects from KFUPM, SABIC, KACST and KAP and NSTIP research projects. Contract research was work done for Greater Nile Petroleum, Talisman energy, Ministry of Energy and Mining Sudan, RI-Saudi Aramco, Luksar and Sinogas. Recently my research deals with sedimentology and petroleum geology aspects and utilization of digital outcrop reservoir analog models for the purpose understanding and prediction of subsurface aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs in Saudi Arabia. Carried out more than 50 geological field trip related to teaching, graduate student research and sponsored research projects at different parts in Saudi Arabia. I am a member of DGS, International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE). Participated in several conferences and technical workshop technical committees (AAPG, EAGE, IPTC, GEO) as well session chairman. 1.
