The in-situ stress fields are of great importance in the interpretation of tectonic features and
the analysis of hydrocarbon systems. In this work, we determine the in-situ stress field, pore …

The present study recorded for the first time, an occurrence of Oligocene basaltic plugs in
Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt. In addition, Egyptian alabaster was discovered in the study …

This paper reviews the likely source characteristics, focal source mechanism and fault
patterns of the nearest effective seismogenic zones to Greater Cairo Area. Furthermore, M …

The study of earthquake activity and seismic hazard assessment of Egypt is very important
due to the great and rapid spreading of large investments in national projects, especially the …

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 …

Abstract The Gulf of Suez is the prototype model of a failed or aborted continental rift.
However, the basin is seismically active and the footwalls of several major extensional faults …

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

Abstract On November 22, 2020, a moment magnitude of Mw 3.5 earthquake struck the
highly populated Nile Delta. This event marked the first recorded earthquake in this area. We …

The study of earthquake activity and seismic hazard assessment around Aswan is very
important due to the proximity of the Aswan High Dam. The Aswan High Dam is based on …

It is well known that the local geological characteristics in terms of topographic setting and
the existence of soft sediments over bedrock may affect earthquake waves and cause …
