Work experience
* Research Experience:_x000D_
- My research expertise and interest focus on ecology, desertification and climatic change. I worked with geographers (biogeographers) on the subject of rainfall budgets, and oscillations. During my Doctoral studies, I studied the physiographic characteristics, the distribution patterns, and community structure of annual and perennials vegetation species under natural conditions in the semi-arid regions of Jordan (Badia)._x000D_
- On the other hand I studied the economic revenues of the adapted grazing animal (sheep, goats, camels) in the area. The study also involved natural pasture exploit and the modern trends of pasture conservation and management. Desertification and method of Combating desertification and aridization. Currently, I work with Drs. Atkin and P. Alexander from Department of Geography, the University of Durham, England on a joint research on (Livestock on Natural Pastures, on the West Bank of the River Jordan)_x000D_
