These include the western desert, the eastern desert, and the Sinai Peninsula. Groundwater is an important factor to be considered for their development and utilization. Thus, we proposed to use ALOS data in a range of arid land applications including water resources assessment in the western desert. This topic is currently being addressed by ongoing research in an area West of Aswan, Egypt. Reconnaissance fieldwork has been carried out in the study area and some field measurements will be carrying out in March 2011 for validating the processed PALSAR results. The ALOS/PALSAR data have been used to image the near-surface buried faults under the dry sand of the western desert. This was achieved by transforming the PALSAR full polarimetric information to circular polarized for better visualization of the buried faults that strike in various directions. Preliminary results of this work have been presented in the ALOS PI Symposium 2010 in Tokyo, Japan and new results will be presented in the upcoming IGARSS 2011 conference in Sendai, Japan., 形態: カラー図版あり, 形態: DVD-ROM1枚, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, Note: One DVD-ROM, 資料番号: AA0065135070, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-11-007E}, title = {Geostructural and Hydrogeological Setting of the Gallaba Plain in West Aswan, Egypt, as revealed by ALOS/PALSAR Subsurface Imaging}, year = {2011} }
