Abstract
Prof. Mohamed El-Bahay Issawi is a remarkable geologist and is without doubt one of the most important Egyptian geologists ever. His work in the Western Desert is extensive and legendary, and it is hard to imagine any single geologist ever again matching the extent of his field work in that remote region. He has had an enormously productive career involving a wide variety of research and applied topics. He discovered the Abu Tartur phosphate deposits, iron ore deposits of the Bahariya Oasis, and the Kalabsha kaolin deposits south of Aswan. He did extensive field work and aerial-photo mapping of the Western Desert over many years and authored many carefully documented papers that are still cited today. He wrote several books about the Phanerozoic geology of Egypt. Prof. Issawi has served his science and his nation over his long and outstanding career.
