About

Hi there! I am Abdul Hameed, and I am all about digging into the past to understand how our Earth used to be. I have got a Ph.D. in Paleopedology, which means I study ancient soils to figure out what the environment was like way back when they formed. My work helps us to learn about how the Earth has changed over time and what that means for us today. I am passionate about uncovering these stories from the ground and sharing them with others.
