Dr. Noha Imam Imam

I am an Associate Professor of Physics at the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF), Egypt, with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Ain Shams University. My research career has focused on environmental radioactivity, radionuclide tracing, sediment geochronology, and the dynamics of aquatic systems. I am particularly interested in using physical approaches to understand how environmental systems evolve over time and how transport, exchange, and fluctuations control their behavior.

My research provides a strong interdisciplinary connection to the themes of this school. I have extensive experience using natural and artificial radionuclides, particularly Pb-210, Cs-137, radium, and radon isotopes, as tracers of environmental processes. I have applied these techniques to investigate sediment accumulation and sedimentation rates, groundwater discharge, pore-water exchange, and the historical evolution of Egyptian lakes. My recent work has particularly focused on the sedimentary dynamics of Lake Qarun and Lake Burullus and on understanding the influence of anthropogenic activities on recent sedimentary processes.
