Geo-Environmental Studies of the Area between Latitudes 26°00΄ and 26° 30΄N, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt Using Remote Sensing Data and Geographic Information Systems

摘要

The study area extends from the Nile Valley eastwards to the Red Sea coast, and between latitudes 26°00΄ and 26º 30΄N. The present work aims mainly at building-up landuse map of the study area using the remote sensing data and geographic information systems (GIS) accompanied by field checks. The study area is made up of different rock units ranging in age from Precambrian to Recent
