  • Measure of Ground Deformations by SAR Interferometry in Tangier City (Northern Morocco)
    International Journal of Engineering Research and Development e-ISSN: 2278-067X, p-ISSN: 2278-800X, www.ijerd.com Volume 12, Issue 10 (October 2016), PP.40-48 Measure of ground deformations by SAR Interferometry in Tangier city (Northern Morocco) I. El medrai1, T. Mourabit2, A. Tahayt3 1Geology Department , Faculty Of Science And Technology, Abdelmalek Essaâdi University, Ziaten B.P. 416 Tangier, Morocco. 2Faculty Of Science And Technology, Mohammed I University, Ajdir B.P. 34 Al-Hoceima, Morocco. 3Department Of Earth Sciences, Scientific Institute, Mohammed V University Of Rabat. B.P. 703, Rabat, Marocco. Abstract: This study presents the deformations of earth's surface in Tangiers (Northern Morocco). The follow- up of these deformations was made by the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technique (InSAR). The application of InSAR in an urban environment allows to obtain a spatial distribution of the ground deformation within subcentimeter resolution. The InSAR time series analysis methods give an accurate estimation of the deformation rates. In this work we use ROI-PAC software to generate the interferograms from images acquired by Envisat between 2003 and 2010. In order to calculate the deformation rates (on the line of sight) by time series analysis we applied pi-rate software. The stacking map shows major uplift up to 20 mm/year in the coastal and southern zone of Tangier, and subsidence of the soil that can reach 15mm/year in some areas. To evaluate these results, we used the interferometric coherence as a measurement of the reliability of the interferometric phase. We calculated also the error map. All the deformation areas present a very high coherence and the associated error is almost negligible, also the atmospheric noise level is reduced during time series analysis.

The aim of this paper is to identify and characterize the most important building stones used in the construction of the Roman city of Lixus (Larache, Morocco) by means of petrographic and petrophysical techniques. Based on the visual analysis of the monuments, three major building stones (i.e. lithotypes) have been identified: i) Oligocene sandstones, ii) Quaternary sandstones and iii) Quaternary conglomerates.

These successions span a time interval ranging from the late Cretaceous to the early Burdigalian. The main results are: (1) important lost palaeogeographical domains should be located during the late Cretaceous-Eocene between the present-day Ghomarides and the Dorsale Calcaire, on one hand, and between the Predorsalian units and the Flysch Trough as isolated carbon- ate platforms, on the other hand; (2) during the late Eocene-early Oligocene an extensional tectonic event, well marked in the
