Abstract The present study is an attempt to appraise the geological, structural, geomorphological, morphometric and geoenvironmental conditions that are related to W. Ghadir area (located in the extreme southern part of the Central Eastern Desert, Egypt aided by remote sensing and GIS technologies. Geologically, a widely distribuated stretch of Neoproterozoic ophiolitic mélange constituted mainly of allocthonous ophiolitic fragments (serpentinites and talc-carbonates, metagabbros, sheeted metadiabase dykes and pillowed metabasalts) mixed firmly and incorporated in a sheared matrix, as well as, other different mappable units (include metavolcanics, rhyolitic, metagabbro-dioritic and granitic rocks) cover W. Ghadir area. These rock units were reasonably discriminated using remote sensing and GIS techniques (including TCC, FCC, PCA, BRC and supervised classification). |
