About
Fawzi Al Raeid is a leading figure in the application of remote sensing technologies to the preservation of ancient cultural heritage, with a particular focus on the monumental necropoleis of Cyrene, Libya. His most cited work, “The main issues of the Cyrene necropolis and the use of remote sensing for monitoring in the case of the eastern necropolis” (2016, 11 citations), addresses the immense challenge of safeguarding one of the Mediterranean’s largest and most spectacular rock-cut funerary landscapes. Al Raeid’s research demonstrates how satellite imagery and aerial surveillance can be deployed to monitor and protect these vulnerable archaeological sites from looting, urban encroachment, and environmental degradation. By integrating geospatial analysis with on-the-ground heritage management, he has provided a replicable framework for conservation in conflict-affected regions. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between traditional archaeology and modern digital monitoring, offering practical solutions for sites that are too vast for conventional patrol. Al Raeid’s work stands as a vital resource for scholars and heritage professionals seeking to safeguard irreplaceable cultural patrimony in challenging geopolitical contexts.
