Recent geomorphic changes of The Rosetta mouth (original) (raw)

This paper investigates the geomorphic changes at the Rosetta mouth of the Nile Delta, attributing instabilities in the delta's shoreline to climatic changes and the construction of the Aswan Low and High Dams. Historical data indicate that the delta lobes were stable until the early 20th century, after which degradation began. The study employs satellite imagery, aerial photographs, GPS techniques, and sediment analysis to understand the evolution of the Rosetta mouth over the past century, emphasizing the impact of human intervention and natural processes.
