Strategic Georesources in Egypt: Geology, Exploitation, Benefits, Environmental Impacts and Sustainable Development (Sustainable Landscape Planning and Natural Resources Management)

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 p
