The distribution of damage is significantly influenced by fault geometry and local site effects. Consequently, assessing seismic hazards has become a major challenge in effectively mitigating seismic risk. This study aims to develop a geographic information system (GIS)-based three-dimensional (3D) modeling framework to enhance seismic hazard assessments in Egypt, a region of low to medium seismicity that has historically faced destructive earthquakes. The research focuses on integrating fault-specific parameters, geological data, and local site effects into deterministic seismic hazard models. Using 3D fault modeling algorithms, fault plane geometries are generated based on fault traces, geological features, and topography. To account for local site effects, a 3D grid-mesh system models ground motion velocity amplification, incorporating average shear-wave velocity and a soil susceptibility map. The developed methodology is then applied to simulate seismic hazard maps for the October 12, 1992, Dahshour earthquake; the October 11, 1999, Beni Suef earthquake; and a scenario analysis for a maximum expected magnitude 6.5 Dahshour earthquake. Validation of the 1992 Dahshour earthquake simulation against observed isoseismal maps and damage evidence demonstrates the model’s reliability in reproducing high-intensity zones (MMI = VII–VIII). The scenario-based analysis highlights high-risk areas vulnerable to liquefaction and significant ground motion amplification, underscoring the critical need for updated building codes and disaster mitigation strategies. Despite data limitations, the GIS-based 3D modeling framework serves as a robust tool for detailed seismic hazard assessments, helping local governments and planners identify high-risk zones, prioritize mitigation efforts, and enhance disaster preparedness in Egypt and similar regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":476,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal of Geosciences","volume":"18 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.827,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Listwaenite is gaining worldwide interest due to their possible economic value as gold bearing rocks and assessing the global carbon sequestration and flux. This work presents new petrographic and geochemical data of listwaenite from Fanja and Islam Abad area and estimates the physical and chemical conditions of their formation. Three types of listwaenite are known to occur within ophiolites worldwide, and these include silica-, carbonate-, and silica-carbonate. Typical minerals which are usually known to occur in these listwaenite include dolomite, ankerite, calcite, magnesite, quartz, iron oxides, relict chromite grains ± talc and serpentine. Calcite- and magnesite-dolomite listwaenite is more abundant in the Fanja area, while dolomite listwaenite is more abundant in Islam Abad area. The major element chemistry of the different types of listwaenite in both Fanja and Islam Abad area is largely similar to that of altered ultramafic rocks and listwaenites from other ophiolites occurrences. In comparison to the primary mantle and chondrite spider diagrams, the Islam Abad listwaenite shows higher trace and REE elements abundance than those from the Fanja area. The variable and high abundances of Ca, Mg, Ba, Zr, Sr, Pb, Zn, Mo, and W in the carbonate- and silica-carbonate listwaenite indicate a hydrothermal source from the sedimentary and metamorphic units of the Arabian Platform underlaying the listwaenite. Depletion and enrichment of major and trace elements in the listwaenite are indicative of large fluctuations in major and trace element mobility, where listwaenite preserves different stages of gradual alteration of their ultramafic protoliths. The listwaenite content of CaO, SiO<sub>2</sub>, and MgO depends on the stage of listwaenite formation, in which carbonate listwaenite is formed in the first stage, progressing to silica-carbonate listwaenite in the final stage. The listwaenite in Islam Abad and Fanja area was altered to different stages by hydrothermal alteration of serpentinite and harzburgite along Late Cretaceous thrust and Paleocene-Miocene extensional faults and shear zones, which acted as pathway for trace elements and Ca and/or Si rich fluids at different times probably during subduction and/or post obduction stages.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":476,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal of Geosciences","volume":"18 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.827,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Egypt, iron ore is particularly impactful, forming the backbone of the country’s mineral sector. Among the stages of iron processing, blending is crucial as it directly affects the final quality of the processed iron. Currently, blending is done manually by mineral researchers who analyze samples, set blending specifications, and create blends, often compromising the overall quality. This study proposes the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) model, specifically the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), to classify blend quality in Egypt’s Aswan region. The model, powered by the radial basis function (RBF), efficiently handles large datasets and reduces the costs of achieving optimal blending. Using expert-judged “best blend” data for analysis and prediction, the RBFNN model demonstrates superior performance in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score compared to traditional methods. Additionally, a thorough analysis of iron ores was conducted during deployment, confirming the model’s effectiveness in identifying and improving blend quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":476,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal of Geosciences","volume":"18 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.827,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this concern, a total of 50 kaolin samples from the Bhuj area of the Kutch basin (Gujarat, India) and 30 talc samples from the Mahi-Banas basin of Rajasthan (Bhilwara, Udaipur, and Dungarpur) were analyzed.
