Biography
Nuru Said is an Associate Professor at the Faculy of Earth Sciences, Department of minerals and rocks, King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His PhD study addressed the spatial and temporal variations of the Yigarn craton mafic-ultramafic rocks using high quality geochemical, platinum group elements (PGE) and isotopic analyses. He applied the same approach to characterize the mafic rocks of the Birimian Terrane of the West African Craton (WAXI Project).
He has special interest and a strong academic focus in the areas of igneous petrology, geochemistry, petrogenesis and geodynamic setting of felsic to mafic-ultramafic magmatic systems of all terranes and and geological ages; investigates the processes that led to to the genesis and preservation of ore deposits in various geodynamic settings; integrates multidicipilinary data sets in order to unravel the metallogeny and paleo-magmatic/hydrothermal evolution of mineral systems and controls on orebodies. As such, my scientific research interest focuses on characterization of magmatic systems and their contained mineralization and exploration.
