This book is the result of the work of the first international congress of the ArabGU (Arabian Geosciences Union) which took place in Algiers (Algeria) in February 2016. It provides information to the public on various fields of earth sciences and encourages further research in this field in order to attract an international audience.

This richly illustrated book offers a concise overview of the geology of Egypt in the context of the geology of the Arab Region and Northeast Africa. An introductory chapter on history of geological research in Egypt sheds much light on the stages before and after the establishment of Egyptian Geological Survey (the second oldest geological survey worldwide), Hume's book and Said's 1962, 1990 books. The book starts with the Precambrian geology of Egypt, in terms of lithostratigraphy and classifications, structural and tectonic framework, crustal evolution and metamorphic belts. A dedicated chapter discusses the Paleozoic-Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonics and structural evolution of Egypt. A chapter highlights the Red Sea tectonics and the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba Rifts. Subsequent chapters address the Phanerozoic geology from Paleozoic to Quaternary. The Egyptian Impact Crater(s) and Meteorites are dealt with in a separate chapter. The Earth resources in Egypt, including metallic and non-metallic ore deposits, hydrocarbon and water resources, are given much more attention throughout four chapters. The last chapter addresses the seismicity, seismotectonics and neotectonics of Egypt.

Multi-stage hydrothermal processes at gold deposits, placer gold deposits, and gold deposits in Nasser High Dam Reservoir are given in Chapters 13, 14, and 15.

There will be specific topics within the book dedicated to the probabilistic seismic-hazard assessment of the EMRSR including its crustal stress ?eld evolution and its implications for fault mechanics, earthquake source parameters and moment tensors, and description of double-coupled earthquake focal mechanism.

This book addresses the strategic georesources in Egypt in terms of their geologic settings, exploitation, environmental impacts and sustainable development. These resources developed in a wide variety of tectonic settings, ranging from compressional, transpressional, transtensional, wrenching to extensional. Some of them are related to specific depositional environments. A particular attention is given to the added values and economic importance of these resources. The book is aimed at young geoscientists, established researchers, and other professionals interested in geoscientists, especially those active in economic geology and related multidisciplines. It contains up-to-date basic materials, recent basic references and thematic maps, as well as valuable data that are rapidly accumulated in the last few decades about georesources in Egypt. Book chapters are authored by influential scholars and well-known scientists working in both academia and research institutions. Some chapters explore precious metals, placer mineral deposits and phosphate deposits. Others demonstrate building and construction raw materials, along with ceramic and porcelain raw materials. Fossil fuels (Oil, natural gas and coal) as a non-renewable source of energy in Egypt are also presented. Characteristics and industrial applications of white sand in Sinai Peninsula, and black sand deposits as a substantial reserve for heavy-minerals in Egypt are given more attention. Besides, Rare Earth Elements, niobium-tantalum mineralization and beryllium mineralization are the subject matter of details in a specific chapters. Strategic metals and ore deposits hosted in mafic-ultamafic lithologies and granitic pegmatites are examined. Also, Phanerozoic-related ore deposits and water resources are highlighted. The last chapters provide a state-of-art on the application of GIS, remote sensing and geophysical methods in exploring strategic georesources in Egypt.
