El Dabaa area, located in the Northwestern Desert of Egypt, has strategic importance due to its planned developmental and infrastructural projects, including the nuclear power plant. This study investigates the hydrogeological conditions controlling groundwater occurrence and dynamics in the region. Integrated geological, geophysical, and hydrochemical data were analyzed to delineate aquifer systems, recharge mechanisms, and groundwater quality. The results reveal ... Read more

* Due to increasing demand of electrical energy and freshwater in Egypt, it is safe to assume that the decision makers will turn to nuclear power as the feasible alternative for energy. However, as time goes by, fewer sites will be available and suitable for nuclear power plant development. Site selection is a key phase of the siting process of ... Read more

* All over the Gulf of Suez, the Miocene sediments seem to have a very important role in oil accumulation. Badri field is one of the most prolific places in the Gulf of Suez which locates in the southern part of the gulf. Presence of sandstone streaks in the Sidri and Baba Members within Belayim Formation which belongs to the ... Read more

In spite of the fact that great Cairo region is very important for future development, the scope of this study is to provide a better understanding of seismotectonic set-up in and around Cairo. Therefore, the magnitudes of events during the time period from 1900 to 2012 were statistically treated to evaluate the b-values as a measuring of tectonic parameter. Isoenergy ... Read more

This study evaluates seismicity and seismic energy release in the northern part of Egypt to assess potential risks for future engineering constructions. Earthquake records and seismotectonic data were analyzed to define active fault zones, seismic hazard levels, and recurrence patterns. The results provide essential guidelines for earthquake-resistant design and sustainable urban and infrastructure development in northern Egypt. Read more

The Jaghbub Depression, situated in northeastern Libya along the Egyptian border, is a geologically significant lowland with promising hydrocarbon potential. This study employs an integrated geophysical approach, combining gravity, magnetic, and seismic datasets, to investigate the basin’s subsurface architecture and reservoir prospects. Potential field analysis defines basement depth and regional fault systems, while seismic interpretation resolves stratigraphic sequences and potential ... Read more

The Jaghbub Basin, located in northeastern Libya near the Egyptian border, represents a promising yet underexplored frontier for hydrocarbon exploration. This study integrates potential field (gravity and magnetic) and seismic data to evaluate the subsurface structural and stratigraphic framework of the basin. Gravity and magnetic modeling delineate basement configuration, fault systems, and tectonic trends, while seismic interpretation provides detailed stratigraphic ... Read more
