The Qattara Depression is part of the Northwestern Desert in Egypt
and is home to the second lowest point in Africa at -133 meters
below sea level. Therefore, before any projects can be carried out
in this area, we must first understand the geology of the land. The
present study deals with the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic
analysis of the Lower Miocene Moghra Formation outcrops in the
Qattara Depression Region. The literature on the sedimentology and
sequence stratigraphy of the Moghra Formation has been sparse to
date, despite some excellent work over the years by academic and
petroleum workers. Moreover, the area studied is within what was
once a front-line of World War II, where mine fields and war relics
are scattered and cover wide reaches. This has resulted in limited
geologic mapping in the past. Thus, great attention is paid in this
study to establishing a robust sedimentology and high-resolution
sequence stratigraphic framework for the Lower Miocene Moghra
Formation. Included are works based on outcrops and, most
importantly, new sedimentological and chronostratigraphic
information not previously available.
