Description:

Since 1982, several study programs were in itiated for monitoring seismicity, unde rground water behavior and recent crustal movements. The main characteristics of the seismic activity and the seismotectonics of the Aswan region are investigated based on the recently recorded seismic activity from 1982 to 2010 and the geodetic results. The results from these data sets are compared and combined in order to determine the main characteristics of deformation and hazard estimation in the Aswan region. GPS observations are being carried out by Aswan ge odetic network twice a year since 1997 and still until now. Analysis of the repeated 10-years GPS campaigns from the network revealed horizont al movements at the level of 7 - 10 mm/a. The estimated strain rate tensors show compression and tension components in the directions WNW-ESE and NNE- SSW which consistent with the P- and T-axes derived from ear thquake fault plane solutions, respectively. The network are a has been suffered from post-seismic deformation during the present interval; hence an increase in the general earthquake activity in the area could be expected., Mohamed S.
