Dr Howari also served at the University of Texas, PB, Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy and the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. Prof Howari worked also as an Associate Professor at United Arab Emirates University. Prior to this Dr. Howari worked at Texas A and M University where he worked as a research scientist on the development and application of computer models and remote sensing techniques to assess environmental contamination problems. He completed his Ph.D. in Geology (Field and Structural Geology and Radioactivity) in 1975, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Before joining the Nuclear Materials Authority, he worked as Head of Production Sector (1997); Vice Chairman of Nuclear Materials Authority (1997-1999); Chairman of Nuclear Materials Authority, Cairo, Egypt (1999-2000); and as a Private Consultant Geologist. He has authored 40 published articles, 28 unpublished scientific reports and 3 books covering various geological fields including uranium exploration geology, radiometric survey, evaluation of uranium deposits, mining geology, and environmental and engineering-geology site studies for engineering projects. His expertise lies in the Entrepreneurial Geosciences, a field of endeavour with unique properties. After obtaining a Ph.D. from Harvard University, he worked for many institutions in the United States. He founded the Center for Entrepreneurial Geosciences at the University of Texas at El Paso to provide opportunities for promising students with interests and capabilities in entrepreneurial geosciences. He is well known for his contributions in geochemistry, economic geology, mineralogy, semi-metal & sulfosalt geochemistry, and uranium in volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. The themes of Dr. Goodell’s research in mineral deposit include: 1) geochemical zoning in epithermal deposits (metal ratios); 2) volcanogenic uranium deposits and a model of their formation; 3) metallogeny of northern Mexico; 4) mega data management such as NURE; 5) remote sensing; 6) use of multi sensors simultaneously for detailed mapping in open pit mines; and 7) multivariant analysis & large data bases.
