The Missing Link in the Genesis of the Lower Paleozoic Copper Deposits of the A...

Copper mineralization in the Lower Paleozoic sedimentary cover of the Anti-Atlas (Morocco) is continually being revised not only to improve its mining capacity, but also to determine its origin, which remains a matter of debate. As evidenced by the various models proposed, the related research is fragmented, localized, and confusing. The origin of the Anti-Atlas Lower Paleozoic copper mineralization is shared b...

Tectonometamorphic Evolution of the Migmatitic Paragneisses of the Filali Unit ...

A lithosphere-scale extensional shear zone juxtaposes an underlying sub-continental peridotite body and overlying migmatitic paragneisses of the Filali unit in the Beni Bousera massif (Internal Rif, Morocco). Three stages are recognized in the metamorphic evolution of the aluminous paragneiss, marked by the chemical zoning of garnet porphyroblasts and the evolution of associated mineral assemblages characterize...

Integrating Erosion Potential Model (EPM) and PAP/RAC Guidelines for Water Eros...

This study aimed to evaluate the extent and severity of water erosion in the Toudgha river catchment in the Central High Atlas of Morocco using two different erosion models, the Erosion Potential Model (EPM) and the Priority Actions Programme/Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC) model. From the modeling results, the catchment was affected by varying degrees of erosion, ranging from “very slight” to “excessive”, w...

Delineation of Groundwater Potential Area using an AHP, Remote Sensing, and GIS...

Integrated Geotechnical Approach and GIS for Identification of Geological Resou...

The purpose of this paper is to identify, quantify and delineate the areas with suitable aggregate resources in the Precambrian massif of Ifni and the limestone plateau of Lakhssas (southwest Morocco). To fulfill this objective, a study was undertaken on the geotechnical parameters of the various geological outcrops of the region based on the analysis of 42 rock samples (carbonate, magmatic, detritic and volcan...

Pollution Vulnerability of the Ghiss Nekkor Alluvial Aquifer in Al-Hoceima (Mor...

Groundwater resources of the alluvial aquifer Ghiss Nekkor, which covers an area of 100 km2, are the main source of domestic and agricultural freshwater supply in the region of Al Hoceima in Morocco. Due to human activities (overexploitation, increase in agricultural activity), this alluvial aquifer has become very sensitive to chemical pollution. The principal objective of this current study is to develop and ...

Wildfire Risk Zone Mapping in Contrasting Climatic Conditions: An Approach Empl...

Wildfires are one of the gravest and most momentous hazards affecting rich forest biomes worldwide; India is one of the hotspots due to its diverse forest types and human-induced reasons. This research aims to identify wildfire risk zones in two contrasting climate zones, the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary in the Western Ghats and the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary in the Himalayas, using geospatial tools, analytical...

Landslide Susceptibility Assessment of a Part of the Western Ghats (India) Empl...

Landslides are prevalent in the Western Ghats, and the incidences that happened in 2021 in the Koottickal area of the Kottayam district (Western Ghats) resulted in the loss of 10 lives. The objectives of this study are to assess the landslide susceptibility of the high-range local selfgovernments (LSGs) in the Kottayam district using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy-AHP (F-AHP) models and to com...

The assessment of reservoir potential of Permian to Eocene reservoirs of Minwal...

Upper Indus Basin has been a valuable asset as the complexity of structure and hydrocarbon production is the leading producer of oil and gas in history and still to date. Potwar sub-basin has significance in the light of oil production from carbonate reservoirs or Permian to Eocene age reservoirs. Minwal-Joyamair field is very significant and has unique hydrocarbon production history with complexity in structur...

Contribution of Gravity Data for Structural Characterization of the Ifni Inlier...

The Sidi Ifni region in southwest Morocco is mainly composed of crystalline rocks with limited groundwater storage capacity. These water resources drain in particular fault zones with high fracture permeability. The main objective of this study is to describe the geological structure of the region to optimize future drilling locations. The gravity data were processed using various techniques, such as total hori...
