Abstract

The aim of the present study is to assess the present geo-hazards, both flash flooding and seismic activity at the western part of Adabiya Port area, Gulf of Suez. Assessment of include Remote Sensing technique was applied using satellite images, topographical, geological and other geological data through GIS technologies. GIS data integration, including the morphometric; local seismic activity and the structural data analysis, indicated that the area is threatened by two types of geo-hazards. The morphometric analysis strongly supported the high probability of flash flooding in different sites within the study area. The structural lineaments, extracted from enhanced ETM+7 image, showed that the major of seismic activity are related to the segments of the fault system of the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba. The seismic activity hazard was taken into consideration through identification of the sources of events. The seismic activity in the study area markedly increases from north to south. The distribution of seismic activity pattern and data analysis for the study area clearly exhibits the urgent need for an assessment and rehabilitation program to mitigate geo-hazard along the existing structures.
