The groundwater sapping process can be found in both sedimentary and volcanic rocks. This phenomenon of lateral flowing of groundwater and its emergence as seeps at the edges of the scarps required a resistant permeable layer underlain by a soft impermeable layer. Thus it can be found in Nubia Sandstone sequences of the Western Desert of Egypt whic...

The present article concerns with the topography, geomorphology and morphotectonic features of the vast Pleistocene inland delta of the paleoriver system of the Al Balatah Valley in northeastern Libya and its eastern extension in the Great Sand Sea of Egypt where it constitutes what is known as Nahda Plain immediately east of the Libyan-Egyptian bo...
The present work delineates two main patterns of drainage in the
Western Province of the Western Desert. The first pattern was
formed by runoff of old river systems and has a restricted geographic
distribution on the top surface and slopes of the scarps of the Gilf El
Kebir Plateau but it is generally low, intermittent, having a limited
duration in...
The northeastern coastal sandy strip of the Nile Delta extending between Gamasa in the west and Ras El Bar in the east consists of sandy plains, interspersed with scattered, incoherent sand dunes, with a limited extension, between which there are low interlocking and branching gaps, the level of which ranges from zero to-5 meters (and a maximum of-...
This paper discusses the development of Gardens’ City in the Egyptian western desert with focus on its' central and industrial zones as a solution for development needs and to overcome the coming challenges.

In addition to the consensus of scientists, environmental experts, fisheries and beach research in Egypt about the pollution of the northern lakes in the Egyptian delta and the collapse of its ecosystem as a result of using these lakes as a permanent drain for agricultural, health and industrial wastewater-untreated-for the delta governorates surro...
Recently, statements were issued by some western officials and press articles stating that the city of Alexandria is facing a new existential threat resulting from climate change, and that it will be drowned due to climate change. In this article, I would like to clarify that the risks arising from sea level rise do not threaten the ancient city of...
The unprecedented cold, snowy waves that swept across different
parts of the globe during the winter of 2021-2022 cannot be attributed
to the climatic changes that the world is currently witnessing.. Rather,
its cause is due to the thousands of tons of sulfur gases that were
emitted from the ground volcano Cumbre Vieja on the Spanish island
of La P...
A thorough examination of composite volcanoes (stratovolcanoes) on the Martian surface by satellite remote sensing (via Google Mars) has revealed that these volcanoes are rarely occurring independently but frequently occurring as parasitic landforms which were re-erupted at the bottom floor of larger collapse calderas after re-filling of the magma...

A thorough examination of 300 craters on the Martian surface by satellite remote sensing (via Google Mars) has revealed that these craters which previously assumed to have been formed by meteorites are actually volcanic craters which were formed at the ground surface around a volcanic vent by lava flow or fragments of lava thrown out during eruptio...
Abstract
The path to renaissance in any society can only come through an agreement of work with belief - that is, to control the movement of society in accordance with the general will of the members of society. Secular societies are based on the will of the majority of their citizens, and this majority does not believe in what Muslims believe, and...
The present investigation concerns with the satellite remote sensing study (via Google Mars) of topography, morphology and relative age concept of smaller mountain volcanoes which are formed on the surface of Mars by pyroclastic materials accumulating around a central vent (cinder or scoria cones). The study reveals the recognition of two different...

Abstract Book of the Fifth international conference on global events and reorganization of the biosphere in the Paleocene-Eocene transition: Climate and Biota of the Early Paleogene CCBEP-V, 8-12 February, Luxor, Egypt, 2004
The Dababiya Quarry Beds (DQB) constitute a distinct lithologic unit that can be traced along the Nile Valley from Gebel Qreiya, North of Qena, to Gebel Owaina, south of Luxor. Their significance is to yield a remarkable, expanded record of the biotic and geochemical events that occurred during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal maximum. Through integrat...
Calcareous nannofossil and planktonic foramininferal assemblages demonstrate that the succession at Qreiya provides a virtually
complete stratigraphic reference section through the Esna Shale Formation.
A detailed study of the Dababiya Quarry Beds has revealed distinct stratigraphic trends in both mineralogy and geochemistry,
similar to those repo...
The Global Standard Stratotype-section (GSSP) for the Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary has been selected in the Dababiya Quarry, near Luxor, at the base of a lithostratigraphic unit where the base of the so-called Carbon Isotope Excursion (CIE) is re-corded. The Dababiya Quarry offers remarkable three-dimensional exposures of the Upper Paleocene-Low...
We describe the planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the ~61m thick stratigraphic section spanning the Tarawan Chalk
(~17 m) and Esna Shale (~44 m) at Gebel Owaina and the ~35m thick section spanning the total thickness of the Esna Shale at
Gebel Kilabiya, ~10km west of Owaina. The Owaina section spans Zones P4a (partim) to P6a (partim), whe...
The search for a Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) for the Paleocene/Eocene boundary has resulted in several
concurrent studies of the Upper Paleocene-Lower Eocene interval in sections across Egypt from the Eastern and Western Deserts
to Upper Egypt where spectacular outcrops occur along the Nile Valley. These studies have brought...
Because Upper Egypt (stable shelf, pre-rift) contains some of the most expanded and continuous stratigraphic records of the biologic and chemical changes across the P-E transition, the P/E Boundary Working Group have conducted over the course of the last four years a series of integrated studies on this anomalous interval. These have led to the rec...
We describe the upper Paleocene-lower Eocene planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy at Qreiya (southeastern exposure of
Gebel Abu Had), about 50km ENE of Qena, Egypt. The ~54m thick section spans the Tarawan Chalk (~8.6m thick; Zone P4a+b) and
the Esna Shale (~45m thick; Zones P4c-P7, partim). The Tarawan/Esna contact is paraconformable, and coin...
We describe the planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the ~130m thick upper Paleocene-lower Eocene composite stratigraphic section at Dababiya, recently designated Global Standard Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of the Paleocene/Eocene boundary. The measured (composite) section extends from the Tarawan Chalk (Zone P4), through the Esna Sh...
Integrated research over the past decade has led to the recognition of a short
(150–200 k.y.) interval of Paleogene time within Chron C24r at ∼55.5 Ma, formerly termed the late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM) but more recently the Pale- ocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), that was crucial in the climatic, paleo- ceanographic, and biotic evolution...
We describe the lithostratigraphy and planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the upper Paleocene- lowermost Eocene (Zones P4a-P5c) stratigraphic section exposed in a neritic/shelf carbonate setting at Wadi Abu Ghurra in the southern part of the Upper Nile Valley. The 2.5 cm thick PETM-correlative interval lacks the phosphatic-coprolitic horizo...
The establishment of the Working Group on the Paleocene/Eocene boundary at the 28th International Geological Congress (Washington, 1989) was serendipitously coincidental with the report of significant, stratigraphically linked events in the biotic and isotopic record of Magnetic Chron C24 in the early Paleogene record of the Southern Ocean, obtaine...
The lithostratigraphy and planktic foraminiferal stratigraphy of seven deep-water wells drilled in the northern Red Sea have revealed many interesting results. The Aquitanian is well represented in structural lows by open marine strata containing faunas indicative of Zone M1 and unconcormably overlain by a continuous open marine succession of late...
A sequence of larger and /or planktonic foraminiferal events and hiatuses ranging in age from the beginning of the Oligocene to the end of the Pliocene could be recognized and objectively identified within many subsurface and surface sections in different parts of Egypt, including the northern Western Desert, the Nile Delta , the northern Eastern D...
A new and improved Late Eocene-Pliocene biostratigraphic sequence is achieved in the northern part of the Western Desert. The sequence concentrates on global planktic foraminiferal paleoevents and involves a number of larger benthic foraminiferal datum planes that are considered to be correlative and isochronous over the Mediterranean region. The p...

Questions
Question (1)
This is not a project. It is a title of a book edited by me (Khaled Ouda) in collaboration with Marie-Pierre Aubry, and which is already published in Micropaleontology Volume 49, 2003. It is listed in the contribution list of Khaled Abdel-Kader Ouda at the Research Gate. The name Kevin Ouda who posted this project on my page is neither editor nor a writer among writers inside the book. He looks a liar and a fraudster. It seems as a trial from this person to steal the research. I appeal to the management of the research gate to stop this tampering and to verify every research added to the pages of scientists registered in the gate.
