Farouk El-Baz is Director of the Center for Remote Sensing and Research Professor in the Departments of Archaeology and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. El-Baz participated in the NASA Apollo Program as secretary of the Site Selection Committee for the six Apollo lunar landing missions, principal investigator of Visual Observations and Photography, and chairman of the Astronaut Training Group for orbital photography . He coordinated the first visit by American scientists to deserts in northwestern China. His research on the origin and evolution of the desert resulted in his election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Prior to embarking on extensive field trips to harsh deserts, El-Baz analyzed space photographs utilizing innovative techniques to select sites for detailed ground investigation. He first used this approach in the Western Desert of Egypt and soon applied the method to study deserts in Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Sultanate of Oman, Darfur in northwestern Sudan, the deserts of northwestern China, and the Rajasthan of northwest India. The Geological Society of America has established The Farouk El-Baz Award for Desert Research to reward excellence and two student awards to encourage desert research. El-Baz served his native land as Science Advisor to the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. He presently serves on Egypt’s Higher Council for Science and Technology, which is headed by the Prime Minister.
