* Understanding deformational processes and related structures at various scales, necessitates an estimate of microstructural and finite strain characterization of deformed rocks. In the current research, 23 collected samples of metaconglomerates, metsediments, and metavolcanics from the Wadi El-Qash region, placed in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, were used to quantify the finite strain of quartz, feldspar porphyroclasts, and mafic ...

Numerous farmers regularly irrigate their farms with inadequately treated sewage water pumped from the sewage system in the Arab El-Madabegh district of Assiut City, Egypt. According to previous studies, long-term irrigation with partially treated sewage water resulted in significant changes in the physicochemical properties of soil. The principal goals of this study are (1) to infer empirical equations between geoelectrical ... Read more

Abydos Temple is one of Egypt's most significant sites, with a rich history that stretches from the ancient kingdom until the arrival of Islam. It has been built for about 4000 years. The main goal of this study is to use advanced geophysical techniques, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), in conjunction with SIR 4000 control units and 200 MHz ... Read more

This biostratigraphic study of the Paleocene sedimentary sequence at three localities in Qena region, Egypt provides a detailed assessment of the lithological features and planktonic and benthic foraminiferal taxa in order to re-assess the age of the lithologic units, identify possible unconformities, and infer the paleobathymetry and depositional environments. From south to north, these localities are Gebel Serai, Gebel Aras, ... Read more

The Abydos archaeological site represents one of the most important burial grounds for kings and high court dignitaries in ancient Egypt which is located at about 13 km west of the River Nile along El-Balyana town at Sohag Governorate, Egypt. High resolution gradiometer survey was conducted on the area surrounding the Osirion at Abydos. The main objective of the present ... Read more

The Jurassic sedimentary sequences are an important source and reservoir rocks in the North Africa margin, with its type section, outcropped at the Gebel El-Maghara massif and some other sites along the southern Tethys. These exposed Jurassic outcrops, of the intercalated continental and marine sediments, allow us to conduct more detailed and integrated studies on the various depositional settings with ...

Shallow seismic refraction survey and Microtremor measurements together were conducted and found out to be an effective approach to study the site effect and also to establish a seismic hazard microzonation overview. The amplification and fundamental resonance frequency and of ground motion at different frequencies were estimated using the microtremor data measured at ten sites in the new industrial zone ...

The purpose of this study is to define the geographic area of an estimated depth to an Eastern desert intrusion near wadi Qena. The study also clarified the many stages of deformations connected to this intrusion. Aeromagnetic data was employed using the goal of this investigation for this purpose. Along with the underlying structure, these intrusions' depths and magnetic susceptibilities ... Read more

Abydos Temple is one of Egypt’s most significant sites which has a long history that dates back to the ancient monarchy and continued until the coming of Islam and also served as one of Egypt’s most significant ancient royal and high-ranking official burial sites. The main objective of this work was discovering more archaeological features buried underground such as ancient ... Read more

Climatic changes because of groundwater levels rising near the archaeological sites became a fundamental issue in Egypt. The problem will affect the deterioration of the stone foundations of the temples and any archaeological features, which will affect their deformation, changing their features, and their archaeological and architectural importance. Osirion in Abydos archaeological place, west of Sohag Governorate, undergoes this problem ... Read more
