0104310VersteegDescription: This project supports a collaborative project between Dr. Roelof Versteeg, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University and Dr. Raafat Fat-Helbary, Aswan Seismological Center, the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, Aswan, Egypt. They plan to create a useable seismic hazard and soil strength maps for the Tushka Project, a massive new infrastructure effort in Upper Egypt. The PIs plan on combining probabilistic seismic hazard maps that describe the frequency of exceeding specified ground motion levels with a surface wave analysis technique that can provide detailed site effects. They will combine MASW type of inversion techniques with imaging to obtain shear-wave velocity profiles that can be of great use for engineering projects. The results will be made available in a GIS environment. This work will develop a technique that can usefully complement macro-scale hazard analysis, and make refined microzonation of hazard a real possibility useful in siting of critical facilities.Scope: The project has important scientific and practical implications. The geography of the Upper Egypt area is important and has been affected by recent human development including the construction of the Aswan High Dam. This research will document and interpret geophysical and geotechnical data and will seek to develop practical information for future projects. Dr. Versteeg has the needed experience in the acquisition and processing of geophysical data as well as the integration of these data into GIS based product for use by non-geophysicists. Dr. Fat-Helbary is experienced in the Tushka seismic studies. He will lead the effort for collection of the large-scale data sets, and will lead the effort in creating ground motion acceleration maps. Both sides will benefit from this collaboration and from the opportunity to learn from the type of planning that is underway to develop a region of the world that has historical significance. The experience and methods developed in this proposed project will be applicable to future developments in Egypt as well as in other parts of the world. The PIs are well qualified for the planned. The project meets INT criteria for support of collaborative research.

0104310 VersteegDescription：该项目支持Roelof Versteeg博士，Lamont Doherty Earth天文台，哥伦比亚大学和Raafat Fat-Helbary博士，Aswan心脏学中心，国家天文学和地球物理学，ASWAN，ESWAN，ECYPYPT。 他们计划为Tushka项目创建可用的地震危险和土壤强度图，这是上埃及的大规模新基础设施工作。 PIS计划结合概率地震危险图，这些危险图描述了超过指定地面运动水平的频率与可以提供详细位点效应的表面波分析技术。 他们将将MASW类型的反转技术与成像结合起来，以获得可用于工程项目的剪切波速度曲线。 结果将在GIS环境中提供。 这项工作将开发一种可以有效地补充宏观危险分析的技术，并使危害的精制微分各化是对关键设施的真正可能性的真正可能性。Scope：该项目具有重要的科学和实际含义。 上埃及地区的地理很重要，并受到最近人类发展的影响，包括建造阿斯万高水坝。 这项研究将记录并解释地球物理和岩土技术数据，并将寻求为未来项目开发实用信息。 Versteeg博士在获取和处理地球物理数据以及将这些数据集成到基于GIS的产品中以供非地球物理学家使用。 Fat-Helbary博士在Tushka地震研究中经验丰富。 他将领导收集大规模数据集的努力，并将领导创建地面运动加速图的努力。 双方都将从这项合作中受益，以及从正在开发具有历史意义的世界地区的计划类型中学习的机会。 该拟议项目中开发的经验和方法将适用于埃及以及世界其他地区的未来发展。 PI有资格获得计划中的资格。 该项目符合INT标准，以支持协作研究。
