Research InterestDr. Tamer Abu-Alam is a metamorphic petrologist whose research also utilizes numerical/thermodynamic modeling (e.g. phase equilibria modeling), geochemistry, geochronology and structural geology to understand tectonic processe. His research focuses on studying the tectonic evolution of Earth lithosphere, investigation of secular change in the thermal structure of the lithosphere as recorded by metamorphism through time. His research also encompasses the coupling between metamorphism, deformation, fluid migration, fluid-rock interaction and formation of ore deposits. His research interest is extended to include building geological databases using different geographic information system programs. Between 2014 to 2018, Dr. Abu-Alam developed a GIS database for Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.
