During her research, she uses satellite images for both detecting subsurface groundwater accumulation and land / submarine springs using the thermal ASTER and MODIS data. She worked in a project that uses both the GIS and Hydrologic model for groundwater exploration in the northern United Arab Emirates, USA and the Red Sea area in Egypt.
She received her PhD in 2002 from the School of Geography, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. She is also a lecturer in the Geography Department, at Tanta University, Egypt.
Dr. Ghoneim joined the Boston University Center for Remote Sensing in the beginning of 2003. In 2006 March 2006 she joined Dr. Farouk El-Baz in a research that resulted in discovering the Kebira Crater, an impact crater (astrobleme) in the Sahara.
