Overview

The mission of the MSc in Marine Geology from King Abdulaziz University is that the rehabilitation students have the training and applied specific skills to serve the nation in various fields of marine geology.

Historical background

The ocean basins provide a wealth of underwater information about the two most important theories of geological science: plate tectonics and the sedimentary record of geologic history. The ocean floors also hold a vast wealth of economically important marine minerals and hydrocarbons (crude oil and natural gas).

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that acquired considerable strategic significance from the world's industrialized countries has a long coastline on the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf. Both Red Sea and Arabian Gulf basins are home to many important marine minerals resources.
