1. GMES and Africa Project for (NafCoast) I am the coordinator of this project that proposed to develop an operational service from remote sensed data for the coastal and marine ecosystems for northern African countries. Partners in the project are from Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania in addition to Egypt. The project is funded from the EC via the AUC. 2. Simulation and monitoring of Oil pollution in the Gulf of Suez. This project is a research project to develop monitoring and forecasting algorithm for the oil pollution and contamination in the Gulf of Suez based on the earth observation satellite data, ins-ti measurements of ASD spectral device. The project is in progress and findings show potential of spectral data to define and map the oil spills. 3. Earth observation and GIS for sustainable development. This project was to study potentiality of defining the environmental indicators for the sustainable development goals and strategy in south eastern part of Egypt. The project identified potential areas for development and the indicators to ensure sustainability and reservation of the resources. Further identification of the natural hazards were assessed in correlation to the development. 4. Al Alamien Urban Development. This project was to study the land resources in an area of the north west coast of Egypt to assess the potentiality of establish a new city. This included revising the engineering design with the plot of land in terms of topography, natural resources in the area, the environmental and natural hazards. The project ended up with recommendation to re-design the new city based on our findings. 5. Sustainable Development Plan for the coastal zone of south eastern Egypt This project was to develop a sustainable development plan for the south eastern corner of Egypt on the coast. The project functioned remote sensing to obtain precise information and GIS to spatially analysed the information in a strategic framework for development. The project indentured the best fit areas for tourism development, agriculture development, and mineral industry development.
