Egypt’s mineral resources are an effective means of raising the country’s income. Consequently, searching for deep subsurface ore deposits is essential. In this study, we map structure and occurrence related gold-ore mineralization in ophiolitic-assemblage rocks around Wadi El-Saqia area Central Eastern Desert Egypt. Our approach combines airborne geophysical data (aeromagnetic mapping) geochem...

ABSTRACT The moment magnitude (Mw) ?7 earthquake that struck Charleston, South Carolina, on 31 August 1886 is the largest historical in United States east of Appalachian Mountains. fault(s) ruptured during this has never been conclusively identified, and conflicting fault models have proposed. Here we interpret reprocessed seismic reflection profiles, legacy aeromagnetic data, newly collected g...

This paper presents a new method of automatic lineament extraction which includes the removal of the ‘artefacts effect’ which is associated with the process of raster based analysis. The core of the proposed Multi-Hillshade Hierarchic Clustering (MHHC) method incorporates a set of variously illuminated and rotated hillshades in combination with hierarchic clustering of derived ‘protolineaments’...

Background After decades of research carried out in India by several government organizations, a decision has been taken to generate 1000 MW of electricity using geothermal energy by 2022. Geothermal energy is perceived as a hidden potential in the earth’s crust. The USA, Indonesia, Philippines, Italy, Mexico and Iceland are the leading nations in utilizing this potential. Research efforts in I...
