  • Earthquake Seismology

  • Seismological observations/interpretations.

On the other hand, you are welcome with your interest I always appreciate to hear any topics to conduct. 

Suggested Potential Topics:

  • Refraction Velocity Modeling

  • Shear-wave Velocity Modeling

Research Channel: Consider the prepared materials on AcademicPremierSearch and Times Cited to use provided research channels of KFUPM during your literature review of your project..
