Stress field inversion is performed in Egypt on the basis of 219 focal mechanism solutions in
the period from 1955 to 2007. For this purpose Egypt is divided into six seismotectonic …

Seismic activity while generally moderate constitutes a significant hazard in Egypt as was
demonstrated by the aftermath of the moderate-sized 1992 Cairo earthquake. In this study …

The instrumental earthquake catalogues show the overall seismicity of the Earth. However,
examining and inspecting the historical records plus the instrumental recorded events is …

Local magnitude (ML) scales have been developed for Egypt based on 14,453 normalized
Wood–Anderson amplitudes from 1670 earthquakes. These events were recorded by at …

The aim of the present work is to compile and update a catalogue of the instrumentally
