Characterization of a buried quarry by historical analysis of satellite images integrated with electrical resistivity tomography, East Cairo area, Egypt

These sites have become part of the urban sprawl of New Cairo, and their detection became difficult from the ground surface. In this study, analysis of multi-temporal high-resolution satellite images and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data were used to detect and delineate a buried landfill site located near the Ring Road, East Cairo, Egypt. Analysis of changes detected on the satellite images revealed that the study site was a WNW-oriented Quarry until 2005 and then randomly filled with heterogeneous solid materials. ERT survey was planned based on the result of change detection. On the plan view, the ERT measurements have outlined the electrically conductive zones which are occupied by filling material and distinguished them from the resistive zones that symbolize the natural soil areas. By assimilation of the satellite images and the ERT results, two distinguished geoe...

Mapping of Subsoil Water Level and Its Impacts on Hawara Archeological Site by Transient and Multi-Frequency Electromagnetic Survey

Transient ElectroMagnetic (TEM) sounding and Ground ElectroMagnetic (GEM) profiling have been con... more Transient ElectroMagnetic (TEM) sounding and Ground ElectroMagnetic (GEM) profiling have been conducted at Hawara archeological area, El Fayoum, Egypt to investigate the subsurface water and its effect on the archeological targets at this area. This archeological site comprises Hawara pyramid, the northern necropolis and a southern mortuary complex called “labyrinth”. Nowadays Hawara area is entirely abandoned and surrounded by cultivated areas, as well as, a surface water canal named “Bahr Wahba”. The surface and underground water bodies have negative effects on the foundation of Hawara pyramid and the labyrinth site, where the entrance of the pyramid is today flooded to a depth of about 6 meters below the ground surface. TEM data have been acquired at three sites in this area comprising the cultivated land, the pyramid and the labyrinth, while the GEM survey was conducted inside the labyrinth site. Integrated interpretation of these data sets indicates that, the agricultural activ...

Geothermal resources in Egypt integrated with GIS-based analysis

However, advancements in the development of the generation capacity using sustainable and renewable resources, for example, solar, wind and geothermal resources and investment in nuclear power plants are planned. The geology and structure setting of Egypt affirms that reasonable geothermal resources are available, particularly along the Gulf of Suez, the Red Sea, the Western Desert and parts of the Nile Valley. The main objective of this research is to develop a geothermal favourability map of Egypt, which may be considered as a screening tool for the assessment of optimal areas for geothermal development. Digital data layers and maps were employed in a GIS model to select the most promising areas for geothermal potentiality. The ArcGIS model includes six thematic layers: distance to faults, Bouguer anomaly, distance to seismic activity, Curie depth, heat flow, and temperatures at different depths. The validation of the generated geothermal favourability map was performed by a comparison with thermal water wells and hot springs. Generally, the most encouraging zones for geothermal probability in Egypt are located near the shorelines of the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea.
