GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE PERALUMINOUS GRANITES AT WADI UM ADDEBAA AREA, SOUTHEASTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Vanishing Knowledge of Plant Species in the Wadi Allaqi Desert Area of Egypt

The distribution and abundance of plant species are strongly linked to the physical environmental and thus to anthropogenic disturbances. Changes in desert vegetation, in particular, can have drastic impacts on human livelihoods in these areas as ecosystem services may be affected (Dubroeucq and Livenais 2004; Klintenberg et al. 2007; Käyhkö et al. 2011; Rohde and Hoffman 2012). The Wadi Allaqi...

The Pan-African arc-related volcanism of the Wadi Hodein area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt: Petrological and geochemical const

The Wadi Hodein area contains a wide variety of late Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks, represented by gneisses, serpentinites, metagabbros, metasediments, metavolcanics, metagabbro-diorite, granodiorite and granitoids. The Wadi Hodein metavolcanics (WHV), including G. Khashab and G. El Anbat, represent one of the significant metavolcanic suites in the southern part of the Nubian Shield...

Selection of the Optimum Landsat Thematic Mapper Bands for Automatic Lineaments Extraction, Wadi Natash Area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt

Utilization of the digital Landsat TM bands for automatic lineaments extraction and selection of the optimum bands are the main objects of this article. The classical method for lineament extraction was manually performed through aerial photographs and satellite imagery. Nowadays several commercial softwares are developed to deal with the automatic linear features extraction using the optical a...
